Warm greetings and blessings to you, dear Friend!
May you live your word/theme for 2023 with Ease and Grace and JOY.
Here we are, in the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day – a time to rest, to ponder the year that was and the year to come.
In honour of the energy of this time of year – and of my word/theme for 2022, SIMPLICITY – my message for you this month is an invitation for you to rest and ponder what YOUR word/theme for 2023 will be.
As I shared in my most recent Morning Musing, my word/theme for 2023 will be REMEMBER. It was inspired by an affirmation that I received at this year’s Unity of Vancouver Candlelighting Service – and, as my beloved Kim lovingly remarked, it’s exactly what I most need to do!
Here are the words to the affirmation, and to “I Remember My Purpose”, the new original chant that was inspired by it:
Faith: “I remember my purpose,
and the spirit within me
is my home.”
While I strive to live as simply and as presently as I can, my life is full of many musical commitments. When I don’t make time for myself and for my beloved Kim, I can forget the truth – that MY PURPOSE IS TO LOVE AND SERVE. When I trust that that’s ALL that is required of me, I easily and joyously know and feel that the spirit within me IS my home. So, right here and right now, I choose to more fully REMEMBER the truth in the new year. YES, YAY and AMEN!
The chant begins at 1:54, and again at 9:00. May it serve you well!
How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s most resonating in YOU this month, and what will YOUR word/theme for 2023 be? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you, and I welcome any and all suggestions for future Morning Musings or whatever else you’d like to share. Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other. (THANKS for being a part of my journey, and SPECIAL THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)
And, as always…
