Once again, we face the end of a fascinating year and begin anew. Each moment lived on this beautiful Earth is an opportunity to reach the fulfillment of personal goals. As each person contributes positive energy, the world view may edge closer to a state of elevated consciousness. 

Blessings to you in this lovely new year, 2012!

Merry Christmas!

Here's a Christmas poem written a couple years ago after I overheard a woman in the grocery store ardently complaining to her husband that she didn't have enough cloves for her hot mulled wine (as if two bottles of cloves weren't enough!) I think Mary spoke to me personally that day, whispering into my subconscious, "Jeanne, you have to write this.... now!" 

Merry Christmas!

Eggnog or Grog?

What shall I drink? Egg nog or grog?

What did the Holy Family drink

on that holiest night of nights?

Did Mary lean over to Joseph

after giving birth to Jesus and say,

“Joseph, be a dear and pour me 

another glass of Chardonnay?”

To which Joseph replied,

“Mary, Darling, all we have is 

a little hot mulled wine left over

from the party last night.”

Or…did a father, proud

after such a long trip

offer his bride a sip

of water to give her joy

upon delivering this

beautiful, healthy Boy?

Did the baby cry

in a humble home

and look to his mother,

so beautiful and warm,

reach up, to touch

her swollen breast

and drink of the milk

from the Mother blessed?
