Unwrapping: The Gifts of 2018.

... In 2018 ...

May we climb the steps that beckon…

and may they lead us to newer horizons

and give us an opportunity to discover something new.

May we open our eyes
to the joys of a simple life that abounds

And discover in them the ultimate travel gifts -
hidden secrets of happiness and joy

May we allow ourselves to stop,

to hear the sound of the waves

And find the rhythm of our own lives in the ebb and the flow.

May we appreciate the delicate beauty of the flowers

And in that sensitivity,

may we find the very hues of life

May we be present in life’s simple moments,

urging us to relax and stay for a while

even when we are in a hurry and on the move.

May we open our hearts
to the goodness and openness around

and have the courage to face every fear with a loving smile.

May we face the sun right
in the middle of its transformation

And feel the dazzling skies coming alive

May we bask,
in the warmth of our own light

That arms us with trust and faith

So that we continue to explore the wonders of the world 
and satiate our curiosity

By walking in our own truth

In 2018,

May we continually be inspired
to write stories that help us grow
into our own power

That power...
that comes with the joy of authentic experiences,

Stretching our minds
in dimensions, unknown,

And filling our hearts
with the nectar of love and life.
