We’ve been waiting for it… I’ve been waiting over 15 years as a part of the new age community.

What’s going to happen?

Who really knows. But likely a lovely shift in consciousness — which is like the biggest party in centuries, wouldn’t you say?

Let’s kick it off right — not just seeing a couple weeks in January as a reason to transform and make changes, but the whole year as a seed thought to nurture the rest of our lives by.

With all the many important, and sometimes challenging, resolutions lingering in the air (changing diets, quitting old habits, organizing, earlier morning meditations…), it’s no wonder January has been claimed as “Celebration of Life Month.” But how to keep the whole year spiced up and moving in the flow like the great momentum we seek to launch the grand year with?

Make 2012 an everyday celebration

Make 2012 an everyday celebration

Consider making an ordinary day celebrations. We are accustomed to throwing parties for special events, and dinners for birthdays and holidays. What if on not-regular-average-days with planned a party for ourselves and loved ones “just because” – to celebrate life? Celebrate a Wednesday, the beginning of summer, an Oscars party in March, or a Harvest party at the end of August. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just great natural food with perhaps a bit of music and inner merriment.

Start every day with a blessing journal. Count ‘em. Count them with love. This is the year to get this habit down! Really activate that gratitude throughout the year and tap into the ultimate feeling of unending abundance and joy. Keep it by your bed so you can jot a least one thing down either first thing in the morning or before entering dreamland at night. If you want to get fancy, make 3-5 things and decorate it with energy swirlies and hearts.

This time of year with all the many possibilities of resolution choices, try and remember life doesn’t always have to be about the challenge and hard work or being perfect. Let’s remember it involves being your best with the many personal responsibilities and room for onward and upward improvement, but is also a celebration. Each day when we rise, we can choose to celebrate the gratitude of a new day – the next 24 hours can be a mini celebration of life.

How do you want to celebrate yours?

Let’s rock out this year, whatever happens… Party on, gorgeous.

You, Bright Star: Being the Fire of Your Own Life

by Lucinda on December 24, 2011

When I was about five years old, I had the role of the *Star* in the Christmas Eve nativity service at church. I enjoyed being the star since I didn’t have to say any lines. I got to keep my inner depth (and shyness) inside.

All I had to do was shine and sparkle.

Lu as the star

Lu, age 5, as the star

I simply loved feeling beautiful wearing white with a ring of silver garland on my head that sparkled like a crown of diamonds as I floated like an angel through the lights.

(You should have seen my just-beyond-toddler-divinely-graceful-gait – yeah, a real showstopper.)

It felt safe to be my introverted child-self, speaking through my eyes and heart, and maintaining the still and magical role of a divine guiding light.

My role wasn’t just being passive while shining; I intrinsically knew it was the lead role of the star to help those wise guys find little baby Jesus, and honor him with divine gifts — it would go onto create a lovely story in history about following the bright star, the inner light of our hearts that guide our way to discover our life purpose of our highest, shining self.

It wasn’t just about intuition and fulfilling a life purpose. It was a lot more, almost beyond things I can write about today. Things of the spirit realm that I have embraced the fleeting fragrance of. Things of the cosmic void, the creation, and the vast Oneness of all Source.

While appreciating in awe and wonderment from our earthly stance, a star can somehow give us a whiff of that almighty divine omnipresent and timeless Light.

bright starYes, stars are quiet, as they shine their brilliant ancient fire wisdom, for those who are graced to witness their seemingly pinpointed and focused magnificence.

Starlight and fire is that which gives us light and life. It’s the holy fire that gave us all birth into this life, our spark into existence.

The light, or fire, that creates the stars, our suns and star systems, is infused with a divine spark – as is the star within you has the power to light up others creating a galaxy of enlightenment, or spreading other energy like wildfire.

Fire fuels our passions and warms our homes. It creates and also destroys. Fire is the element that can only take place by consuming, so naturally fire is the transformer; the ultimate alchemist constantly evolving and shape-shifting.

From that fire there is warm radiance that reaches to our best selves and others. Our fire is a metaphor for a trust in life’s journey to live from the golden thread of potential running through our unique life purpose. The power to transform our days and ways into positive scintillations of light.

You have the power to continually evolve as your life progresses.

It is post Winter solstice and have now begun the return of the light, let us be the transformational beings that we were meant to be. May we burn up the old karma that serves us not more.

As we prepare to enter the year 2012, may we rev up our inner fires of passion for life, and a zeal for all that we are meant to be.

May your days be merry and bright. May you find magic throughout your life!

In warm radiant light and love for you: beautiful kindred spirit,
Lu
