ere we are, on the other side of the election that most of us said we couldn’t wait to be over. Now, it’s time to heal and pray and do our part to undo the divisiveness that defined the American political scene for the last 18 months. No matter the outcome (wished for or feared), we need to join the causes that tug at our heartstrings and support the work that needs to be done for a world that is safer and kinder than any time in history. Who doesn’t want that?
This month’s theme is Uplifting Humanity and couldn’t have come at a more needed time to restore our spirits and our faith in humankind. Human + kind. Now certainly is the time to remember this, especially as science shows that we are all connected (see page 16). As Linda Sechrist concludes in our feature article, “We discover abundant opportunities to feel love, loved and loving as we make ourselves available to them.” This issue is filled with ideas to help us discover and practice ways to be calm, centered and loving. Jennifer Salness invites us to use crystals to bring peace and calm (see page 11). Laurie Wondra offers tips to shift stressful energy often height- ened at this time of year (see page 19). Amy Cerny Vasterling encourages us to learn to listen and trust our intuition and find ways to offer “…your uniqueness to the world” (see page 13). Let’s make this month one where we connect with each other and listen and share with one another. Perhaps invite friends and family to a local performance or exhibit to support our local talent and spend quality time together. The cold weather creates the perfect ambiance to gather together and chat while enjoying a hot drink infused with nourishing fruits such as pomegranate and oranges and lemons (recipes online). And don’t forget about connecting with your pets. Sandra Murphy offers some fun ways to make your dog an exercise buddy (see page 22). May this be a month filled with laughter, kindness and a deep heart filled
with gratitude. With Joy,
