I do so enjoy communicating with many of you... and had opportunity to get better acquainted with a few more of you through the Christmas greetings! Thank you to all of you who responded! Made my holiday season even more special!

Many have been sharing what the new millennium might bring. However, taking one step at a time, this is TODAY - what are we accomplishing in this moment toward our heart throb? What is our heart throb? What is our very next step? Identifying is 60% toward accomplishment.

Listing possible activities to accomplish along the path provides focus and helps keep us from getting off the path. Sometimes detours are necessary as learning experiences but we can get back to the main path easier when we are aware of where it is at.

Take pleasure from each step toward expanding your encounters of life. This is where the joy is found. This gives special meaning to every moment... this moment!

MOUNTAIN OF GOLD
- by Dusty

The mountain can melt
Into a pot of gold
If I am willing
To follow God's path
And take time
To observe a truth
And learn the answer.
The light will flash
And melt the mountain.

Quiet Thoughts -

Where and who am I now?

Spiritually - seeking
Mentally - relaxed
Physically - warm, refreshed
Emotionally - anticipating, enjoying this moment
Family - seeking, desire to trust
Socially - seeking, trusting
Financially - trusting

"Enlightenment is sought, not given." - Dreamwalker

Take a word vitamin (a desired trait) and follow it through, flow with it. Let it carry you to new heights:

Trust - total confidence
What is confidence?
Giving with assurance of healthy return.
What is assurance?
Giving of total self, my foundation, and accepting the outcome.
What is acceptance?
Awareness of atonement. Know, feel and absorb blending with Oneness.

Give every thought that brings question to higher power and accept the response in trust. Listen for guidance.
