Hello Friends in Love and Light and Peace!
I wanted to share with you a wonderful interview I had yesterday with Michael Ray Dresser, host of the online radio show Dresser After Dark. During the show I discussed my book Triumph Over Trauma: Learning Begins In Infancy, which is based on the story of how my younger daughter, Jennifer, overcame her traumatic birth and tells of the methods I used to stimulate her neurological development. As a result of my efforts, Jennifer was reading independently at the 3rd grade level at only 2 and 1/2 years old, and she was accepted into MENSA before she reached her teens.
Today's blog post will elaborate on the answers I gave during my interview with Michael.
What prompted you to write Triumph over Trauma: Learning Begins In Infancy?
My younger daughter, Jennifer, suffered trauma during my delivery: she swallowed her first stool inside of me, causing her to lose oxygen during the precious first minutes immediately after birth. She was rated in as a 1 on the Apgar scale, a method doctors use to gauge the health of newborns. A healthy baby usually scores anywhere from a 6 to a 10, and anything below a 5 is considered at risk. A score of 0 means the baby is completely unresponsive.
Even after the stool was suctioned out and she began to breathe, Jennifer's score was increased only to a 3. To compound matters, her first brain scan showed evidence of abnormalities. Her father and I couldn't even bring her home. She had to be put immediately into an oxygen isolette and transported to the intensive care unit, where she remained for more than a week. When we were finally allowed to bring Jennifer home, she had to use a feeding tube for several weeks because she could not nurse properly. The doctors told us to prepare for the worst: most babies in Jennifer's situation developed mental disabilities later on in life...but her father and I did not give up.
I wrote Triumph Over Trauma because I felt moved to help other parents, grandparents or guardians of babies or young people whose children may be at risk for problems caused by birth trauma. I listed step-by-step methods that parents can use with their children---the same methods I used with Jennifer! I know what they're going through, and I know how hard it can be to press on in the face of medical professionals who tell you it's not worth it and not to get your hopes up. But no matter how much effort it takes, the potential reward is always worth it: seeing your child overcome his or her disadvantages to become a high-achieving adolescent and ultimately a successful, accomplished adult.
Although Triumph Over Trauma includes personal stories of specific activities I did with Jennifer at various age levels to accelerate her intellectual growth, these techniques can be used with all children, not only those who experienced problems at birth.
Eventually, my work with Jennifer garnered the attention of Essence Magazine, and in 1999 both of us were honored with an Essence Award. We were also interviewed on ABC's The View, CBS's Day and Date and NBC's Inside Edition. We also appeared several times on Rev. Robert Schuller's "Hour of Power" televised Sunday service.
After appearing on national broadcast TV to receive my Essence Award, I began to get calls from parents all across the United States. Mothers cried to me over the phone because they wanted help for their little ones but weren't getting support from their families. Over and over again, parents told me I had to write down what I had done to help Jennifer and make it available. I was initially unsure I could undertake such a daunting task, but my own family encouraged me to tell our story. I pieced together journal entries, searched the house for my old materials, and jogged my husband's memories until I had enough to put together this book. I am so glad it has been able to help other children, as my daughter had been helped.
What techniques and programs did you use with Jennifer?
Several of the techniques I initially used with Jennifer came from the book How To Teach Your Baby To Read by Glen Doman. It is a wonderful source of advice for teaching babies who are as young as a few months old how to recognize words and eventually sentences, all while instilling in them the joy of learning that is often missing from more commonly used phonics-based reading methods.
One person in particular I want to mention is Robert Doman, Jr. Mr. Doman founded the National Association of Child Development (NACD), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping parents maximize their children's potential. Mr. Doman and his team at NACD designed a personalized homeschooling program targeted for Jennifer's special needs at age nine---a list that included ADD/ADHD and poor social skills. Jennifer excelled so greatly, we were able to enroll her in junior college at age 13!
A key element of the NACD program is an activity called Sequential Processing, which uses strings of letters and numbers to determine the amount of information one's brain can correctly process. Regularly practicing Sequential Processing will improve your mental fitness and enhance your brain's ability to retrieve stored information. Although Jennifer was clearly a bright student by the time she was evaluated by NACD, ADD and ADHD were preventing her from processing and understanding all the information she received in her classes. After only a few months with Sequential Processing, Jennifer showed an enormous improvement in her ability to utilize the information she was receiving in her brain in an orderly way, and in her ability to retrieve it effectively on exams and quizzes. Her grades shot up, as did her confidence and her constructive participation in class. (Recently, NACD has developed a computerized version of the Sequential Processing called Simply Smarter.)
Several other techniques Mr. Doman used to accelerate Jennifer's development and sharpen her awareness are also shared in Triumph Over Trauma. It is clear to me that Jennifer's lasting success throughout college and graduate school is directly traceable to NACD program designed for her by Mr. Doman. I could not have written this book without his knowledge and his extensive research into learning disabilities and neurological development.
What are some of the results you saw with Jennifer?
Some of the rewards from stimulating my daughter's development can be seen in the fact that she has very strong general reasoning and analytical abilities and possesses a quick mind. She also seems to excel at anything she tries. Not only was she reading words at 8 months, but she could hum some of the music we played in the background daily for her. She began reading home-made books at age 2/ 1/2 years, and she had her own library card at age 3, by which time she was reading independently at the first to second grade level. She entered junior college at age 13 and earned straight A's across the curriculum. After joining MENSA, she transferred to Harvey Mudd College, from which she graduated with a degree in Mathematics. Jennifer went on to obtain Masters degrees in Operations Research and in Computer Science. She has won local, state, and national awards in violin, voice, art, writing, and science. A few years ago she developed an interest in computer music production, and just last year she released a CD of musical selections which she wrote, performed, engineered and produced all by herself! Her father and I are continually amazed at how accomplished she is.
Why Should Pregnant Women Consider Themselves "Women With Two Brains?"
Why two brains? One is her own brain, of course...and the other is the brain of the fetus growing inside her, wholly dependent upon her choices for its nourishment and development. The experiences the mother has, the food she eats, the environment she chooses, the emotions she feels, the words she vocalizes, the music she plays, the interactions she experiences---all these play a role in shaping the brain of the new life within her. The music I played, the stories I read and the meditations I did were all things that calmed her down. I remember reading the Lord's Prayer to her and saying this was the prayer of Master Jesus. After she was born, and I began showing her pictures of people, with the picture of Jesus in the selections, she would always gravitate back to the picture I called Jesus, and wanted to hold that picture. As a toddler, she would carry it around with her. This and other events with my daughter let me realize how important it is to be careful what you say and how you react to others.
What should I take away from your book?
Parents should realize that all the techniques I describe in my book are designed for children with and without disabilities. Anyone can use these techniques with their kids! It's also important to realize the importance of using grandparents, aunts and uncles, whoever else is in the household to assist you in stimulating your baby, toddler, adolescent, etc. But don't be too serious: the emphasis should be on teaching in an exciting, enthusiastic and joyful tone. Teach them that learning is fun---and mean it, or don't do it all! You should show your children that you love imparting this knowledge to them.
Above all else, you, the parent-teacher, must believe in yourself and in your child's ability to learn! I can't emphasize this more. And believe me, the consistency does pay off. Make sure to give praise often, and don't push your children to always compete with others. Learning is the best game in the world, and it is exciting! Finally, look for and associate with parents who have similar values to yours. As your children grow, their peer group will become more and more important.
I encourage you to pick up a copy of Triumph Over Trauma: Learning Begins in Infancy if you have any more questions, and to listen to my interview with Michael Ray Dresser. The whole three-hour show will air continuously for 24 hours, starting at 7:00 P.M on Feb 11th 2010. (I am on during the second hour of the show...if the show is no longer posted to their website send me an email.)
Enjoy, and I wish all the parents out there the best of luck in raising happy, healthy and successful children!
God Bless You,

Your Body and Your Soul are One!
Greetings Dear Friends in Love, Light, Peace, Joy and Good Health!
This past month has been very challenging for me, because injuries I received in a car accident last year are flaring up with an intensity that has nearly incapacitated me. But Guidance is simply amazing: A dear friend of mine, Paula McIntyre, suggested, in addition to the physical therapy and acupuncture I had been taking, that I try something called BodyTalk.
BodyTalk is a process in which you communicate with your body and all its parts, and listen to its responses. Of course, I am working with a skilled practitioner who is a master at this, but I have found that gently and lovingly talking to my body before I engage in physical activity---or open my mouth---has helped me tremendously! After all, we all have this amazing Spiritual Universe within us, and when we pray or meditate, we go there often. So, why not communicate with the physical just as often and just as intently?
By talking and reading and communicating with my body with songs and smiles, and by telepathically sending it love and being aware of its physical responses, I am finding that my healing is accelerating! This is because my body and I are one. We are on this amazing journey of life together! Whatever I think or say or do or react to affects my total physicality just as much as what I eat and drink. If I am upset, this emotion sends signals to my cells and I feel a reaction that might appear as a headache, or a pinched nerve, or a general feeling of being exhausted. I am slowly realizing that I have acted in the past as if my body operates totally separately from what I am relating, responding, or reacting to!
So, I have been taught a marvelous lesson in Spirit: that we are magnificent Beings of Light and Love and Wisdom, and our Holy Temple, the Physicality in which we are housed during our journey on earth, is also a Universe of Spirit. We need to remind ourselves to take extra good care of our temple; not only by eating nourishing foods and staying hydrated and exercising regularly, but also by paying attention to what we read, what types of music we listen to for joyous, energetic and calming sensations, what thoughts we are engaged in, what types of words and meaning we are vocalizing. We must be very Focused and Conscious about everything we are engaged in---this applies even to the types of relationships we find ourselves in. So from now on, I will ask my body, "Is what I am doing for our highest good?" "Is this for the highest good of all as well?"
Once we realize that our soul, our conscious mind, our unconscious mind, and our physical temple are truly one unit, and that all should be treated with equal love and respect, our world changes dramatically. Our bodies are now expanding to include more light, which requires a healthy temple to house more of the Love and Light of Source. Mr. John Veltheim, author of The BodyTalk System, explains this by emphasizing that all parts of ourselves must be aligned, balanced, harmonized, and synchronized for effective productivity:
"...for the innate wisdom of the individual body is therefore connected to the wisdom of totality as a whole. By utilizing this innate wisdom, we are tapping into universal consciousness all the time. If all interrelationships are synchronized, there will be a universal symphony of total well-beingness!"
And so, my friends, I end with a quote from The Elohim, channeled by my daughter Crystal Noldon during our session on January 16th, as part of her message Using Our Nine Senses:
"Allow your body type to synchronize with you,
to come into balance,
to come into harmony,
into oneness,
so that you may speak to and hear and know every part of yourself.
Then, when you walk through this world,
you will feel and you will know that your Intention is felt within your body.
And what will happen?
All of you will move into a very harmonic, balanced frequency.
You can then feel that (healing) energy all over your body,
and extending out from you to all that is around you."
God bless you!
Lovingly,

Adjusting To Change
Greetings Dear Friends in Love and Light and Peace and Joy!
With this new decade will come changes in our lives, changes in our beliefs, changes in our relationships and possibly in our careers, changes in politics, and changes in Mother Earth.
May we welcome change: embrace it and become flexible, knowing that the only permanent thing is change! May we continue to give thanks to Source for being here at this very special time on earth, and may we continue to send blessings, love and light to all living beings on this amazing planet! May we also embrace the unexpected events that happen in our lives and in other countries, and in our government, knowing that all is truly in order. And the more we pray and bless each action, the more it will be held in the light, and the more it will transform for the highest good of all. Remember that the biggest challenge we all face is to integrate our deepest spiritual insights into our daily lives, and to recognize the disguised challenges to our spirituality that we face everyday. One obvious sign of this challenge is the feelings of anger that may well up in us in unexpected situations. When we recognize this emotion and visualize love from our expanded hearts being sent to it, we will notice the energy shift that appears to transcend the emotion, and we can smile and bless ourselves for this divine observation.
Let us also see the Angels and Masters walking with us, walking with everyone, as we continue to invite "Them" into our lives, our thoughts, all our actions, praising everything we say or do or think with a silent or jubilant prayer of gratitude.
As we manifest change in our lives, let us be aware that we are the creators of that manifestation---be it positive or negative. As divine beings connected to everyone and everything, let us hold the vibration of love towards all, and towards all events. The greatest transformer is Love, and the greatest power is Love. As we visualize ourselves expanding beyond this planet, let us see ourselves holding this amazing planet in our arms, sending love, light, blessings, peace, joy and unity to Mother Earth. Let us also visualize our hearts expanding with this love vibration shifting the energy of all life here. Let us keep this image in our consciousness as "the unexpected" jolts us from time to time. We are infinite and eternal. We radiate bliss wherever we go, and we have the power to project sacred light to all events, all activities, all beings, for we are Magnificent Beings of the Source-Creator!
So let the celebration of change begin with us, as we see everything with new vision, cognizant that activities and events are transitory; and we are eternal beings living in a transitory existence, learning and experiencing lessons that contribute to our spiritual evolution all the time! Let us cultivate an attitude of gratitude, blessing all things and all life as it continues to unfold and change and recreate itself. Let us spiritually "go with the flow" and continue our fellowship with Divinity, as we experience manifold miracles in our lives each day, crafted and gifted to us through Change!
And So It Is!
God bless you,

A Time Of New Creation
Dear Friends in Love and Light and Peace!
Greetings to you at this very special time--A New Year-A New Decade!
May we continue visualizing a positive outlook for all, knowing that we are creating our own realities, our day to day activities, and our interactions with others. May we continue to send the light to all external circumstances, and bless all events, even if we feel they are appearing in the negative disguise--bless them even more!
Always remember: we create our thoughts, our actions, and our behavior!
If we have challenges coming to call, let us see them in the light of Christ, and see them being resolved with ease and grace. If the challenges deal with health, as some of mine currently do, continue to see them healed in Divine Order, and continue to surrender everything to Source...surrender, and then focus only on the resolution! Let us not focus on the pain or the discomfort, or negativity, for that will only reinforce its existence. Know that the Light is shifting everything, and bringing that which does not wish to be revealed to the surface to be exposed and transformed too.
We can start each day in gratitude and cultivate an affectionate relationship with joy and well-being. We can also talk to Guidance as often as possible: in our cars, washing our dishes, cooking, reading, watching the television, before we go to sleep, when we wake up in the morning--as we keep a continuous dialogue going with Guidance. Let us remember that Guidance and we are creators working together for the highest good of all. We should never, ever underestimate our Divine Power, our Radiance, and our ability to transform our lives and our surroundings!
We are Holy Beings of Sacred Light and Sound, and we are manifesting as everything, all the time. Let us continue to be aware of the expansion of our Sacred Selves, as it is revealed in people, in the flowers, the grass, the "inanimate objects" around our homes, the sounds of the ocean waves, the wind whistling in the trees, the snowflakes, the warmth of the sun, and the chill of the evening air. Know that all of this is us, and we are in all! Let us begin to visualize ourselves as extensions of everything around us all the time. Let us be mindful to acknowledge this fact and talk to the objects around us, giving them thanks for their connection with us. Let us talk to our bodies, our cells, our brains, our consciousness, our emotions, our thoughts, and our actions, as we remember to talk and laugh and celebrate with all of our energetic extensive selves as often as possible too!
We should never forget that we have amazing potential to shift the global consciousness all the time. We are magnificent, phenomenal beings of light! Let us remember to acknowledge ourselves in all of our glory, in all of our power, our love, and our joy as we commune with ourselves in Spirit as often as possible in this marvelous new decade!
In this new year, let us also appreciate our own company and our amazing energetic bodies that expand to the horizon!
But let us also take the time to enjoy the company of others: come celebrate with Crystal and me as we ring in the New Year with a Guided Meditation/Channeling Workshop at the Learning Light Center in Anaheim, CA on January 16, from 1-3 P.M. We hope to see you there, as we continue to fellowship, laugh, and commune together with Guidance!
May God bless all of you!

A Very Blessed New Year!
Happy New Year to all my Family and Friends in Love, Light and Peace!
Much has happened over the past few weeks, as you may have suspected by my two-week absence from this blog. But now that the Christmas tree has been taken down and the ornaments put away for next year, I am sitting down to once again begin my weekly blog posts.
This Christmas introduced heightened sacred energy vibrations, and New Year's Eve intensified the activity with the second full moon in the month of December---a rare event called a Blue Moon. (This happens only about once every 20 years, which is where the saying "once in a blue moon" comes from!) New Year's Eve was a marvelous time to pray and meditate in Spirit, as the energies of bliss and tranquility brought forth the jubilant celebrating of a new linear time full of marvelous opportunities for Humans to commune with Divinity.
Instead of heading out into the streets with party hats and streamers, my family and I decided to relax in the company of each other and relish the love and comfort of just being in the presence of each other and in Spirit. We began the New Year's Eve celebration with a guided meditation led by me, and with our friend, Kathy, as our invited guest. Afterwards, we just sat and soaked up the bliss and the all-enveloping peace that lingered in the aether after the last strains of meditative music had faded into silence. After several long and lovely quiet minutes, we began a lively conversation sharing our thoughts about Spirit, being in the NOW, and the amazing spiritual encounters we have had in our lives.
During this discussion, Guidance enlightened us with special comments from my older daughter, Crystal, who talked about the the higher dimensions of our universe and how we humans can crisscross through different realities in our dreams. We talked for so long that we almost missed the coming of the New Year! Fortunately we heard the clock chime in time to turn on the TV and watch the ball drop as we counted down the seconds to 2010, and when the new decade arrived we celebrated with shouts of joy, with hugs and with gratefulness for just being together. (And with a little champagne, too!)
As we progress further into this New Year that has been given to us by Source, let us be grateful for the infinite potential to create opportunities of successful endeavors with Guidance in all that we think, all that we say, or do, or manifest. Let us remember that we are constantly creating our realities, and let us be FOCUSED on all that we create, as we are cognizant that no matter what the external events present to us, the LIGHT is always present, and God-Creator-Source is always, always within and around us. Know that everything is happening in Divine Order, and our job is to see the light stirring beneath everything, all the time, and to pray that everything manifests for the Highest Good of All!
Know that all you see and experience and feel is in Oneness. All is perfection; all is proceeding according to the creative energetic awareness of all Beings in Form, observing the experience of themselves as Creators, as they design their realities within and without to reflect the Global Consciousness that embodies all, everywhere. Know that you are powerful, magnificent Beings of Sacred Light and Sound, of Peace, of Joy as you gloriously emanate the Potential for Paradise on Earth in all that you do, or say, or think.
On January 16, Crystal and I will start off the New Year by having a Guided Meditation/Channeling Workshop at Learning Light in Anaheim, CA from 1-3 P.M. We hope to see you there, as we fellowship, celebrate, and commune together in Spirit!
May God Bless You in this Amazing New Year!!!
Lovingly,
Lightworker Gloria

During this discussion, Guidance enlightened us with special comments from my older daughter, Crystal, who talked about the the higher dimensions of our universe and how we humans can crisscross through different realities in our dreams. We talked for so long that we almost missed the coming of the New Year! Fortunately we heard the clock chime in time to turn on the TV and watch the ball drop as we counted down the seconds to 2010, and when the new decade arrived we celebrated with shouts of joy, with hugs and with gratefulness for just being together. (And with a little champagne, too!)
As we progress further into this New Year that has been given to us by Source, let us be grateful for the infinite potential to create opportunities of successful endeavors with Guidance in all that we think, all that we say, or do, or manifest. Let us remember that we are constantly creating our realities, and let us be FOCUSED on all that we create, as we are cognizant that no matter what the external events present to us, the LIGHT is always present, and God-Creator-Source is always, always within and around us. Know that everything is happening in Divine Order, and our job is to see the light stirring beneath everything, all the time, and to pray that everything manifests for the Highest Good of All!
Know that all you see and experience and feel is in Oneness. All is perfection; all is proceeding according to the creative energetic awareness of all Beings in Form, observing the experience of themselves as Creators, as they design their realities within and without to reflect the Global Consciousness that embodies all, everywhere. Know that you are powerful, magnificent Beings of Sacred Light and Sound, of Peace, of Joy as you gloriously emanate the Potential for Paradise on Earth in all that you do, or say, or think.
On January 16, Crystal and I will start off the New Year by having a Guided Meditation/Channeling Workshop at Learning Light in Anaheim, CA from 1-3 P.M. We hope to see you there, as we fellowship, celebrate, and commune together in Spirit!
May God Bless You in this Amazing New Year!!!
Lovingly,
Lightworker Gloria

Receiving The Holiday Spirit
Dear Friends in Love and Light,
Another week has flown by, and I am in the midst of many different activities: wrapping gifts, decorating the Christmas tree, and deciding what to get those loved ones who are particularly hard to buy for! But even so I am trying to take time and enjoy these precious weeks by being in the flow of the love of sacred sounds at this magical time of the year, and integrating this love into my total being. Look amidst the hustle and bustle and you will see so much joy and laughter, and so much hope! Do not expect to find these positive sentiments in the media, but instead look within yourself and those whom you love dearly, for we carry this magnificent Christ Light within ourselves, and we spread the love and joy and peace and laughter that we wish for ourselves and this world.
Even when I am rushing about---mailing packages, buying presents, trying to find the best deals---I still find time to give thanks just for being here on this earth, partnering with Gaia at this special time of year. I see God in everyone---even the folks who steal my parking spaces---and I praise Source throughout my day for all the good that comes my way, because I am creating all that comes my way. When an annoyance arises, I acknowledge it, give thanks for the lesson learned, and then move on; for I have much to do and enjoy in this life, as do you, dear ones!
As I make my way through the shopping centers, I don't dwell on the size of the crowds, I give thanks for simply being able to walk without aid! I give thanks for being able to hear the beautiful holiday music wafting through the air, to see all the smiling faces of children who are overwhelmed with wonder, and I send the light from within me to everyone...for all people are my brothers and sisters! I see myself in the many mirrors of the sacred human beings who blanket the surface of this beautiful planet. I ask that the Violet Light of Healing be sent out into the world, to all life everywhere, to the entire Universe. Being in the light, sending the light out, and receiving the light...this is the true meaning of Holiday Spirit!
This past week I have spent much time working with several young gifted musicians to prepare a program for them to perform on December 27th in Los Angeles, CA. I give thanks that I can connect with these lovely youngsters, and that they are willing to give of their time and musical talent to their community. This concert will allow them to bring forth sacred sounds integrating with healing light that will transform all who are privileged to hear them perform!
Very soon I will be sending you an amazing Meditation of the Violet Flame that Crystal and I worked very diligently to prepare this past weekend! For today, however, I will leave you with an excerpt from my poem "A New Awareness" which can be found in my anthology Guided by Spirit. (If you click on the Guided By Spirit link you can hear me read this poem aloud!) Repeat this mantra every morning, and I guarantee you will find yourself totally receptive to all the love and beauty of the Holiday Season!
I am awake and alive and energized with God vibrations.
I focus on good things.
I am at total peace with my soul.
I live in total gratitude for all that comes my way.
Today is the best day of my life!
Today is the best day of my life!
Today is the best day of my life!
AND SO IT IS!
Go forth and Receive The Holiday Spirit!

Poetry, Meditation & Channeling Session
Dear Friends in Love and Light and Spirit,
Happy Holiday Greetings to each and every Divine Soul!
This has been an exciting week for me: yesterday my older daughter, Crystal and I, conducted a Transformational Poetry, Meditation & Channeling Session at The Learning Light Center in Anaheim, CA. It was an extremely successful event, with many souls in attendance who graced us with much light and information. We were especially blessed to receive the Ascended Master Saint Germaine, who presented us with a Violet Flame Meditation. Every day this past week, I was shown a beautiful violet vial in my bedroom mirror, and I took pictures which I brought to the meditation session for the members to see. When we received Saint Germain's meditation I realized that these images were from Saint Germaine to prepare me for Saturday's session! Saint Germaine also took us to meet The Christ, with intense visions of all the Archangels and the Seraphim Host surrounding Him and us. Later during the session, Crystal channeled The Elohim who answered various questions asked by the people in attendance. At the very end, my own guides presented me with a new Christmas Poem which I shared with everyone. It was a truly magnificent event!
After a brief stop at home, Crystal and I drove down to San Diego to participate in a Meditation, Reflection and Healing Session led by Paula McIntyre, a wonderful Spiritual Healer, and I read my channeled Christmas Poem again to this new group.
I'd love to share the following excerpt from the channeled Christmas Poem with you:
"Christmas Meditation"
Holy Christmas Sounds, Holy Lights, Holy Vibrations,
All around us, within our hearts, our consciousnesses
Our emotions, our very Souls
Transforming us, guiding us, healing us
Awakening us in all dimensions
In all of ourselves
Coming together from all levels, all worlds
United in Spirit with all Souls in this Universe
And The Prince of Peace
The Christ Consciousness Energy
Embodies all; bringing forth Hope
Visualizations of the potential for Peace
For Unity, for Continuous enlightenment of our Beingness
Encouraging us to become increasingly aware
Of all the Heavenly Paradise that surrounds us
As we pysically expand
To allow more of the sacred sounds
Of Holy Words, Holy Music, Holy Radiance
To bring us into Divine Focus
Revealing our own magnificent selves
As we become the Christmas Magic
That we see, that we feel--
Ever cognizant that we are the beacons of light in the darkness
Shining brilliantly for Christ
Beaming our radiance to the Universe
And this magic of Christmas Bliss, Christmas Radiance
Christmas Enlightenment
Is permanently integrated in our herts throughout the year
For we become Divine Emissaries of Christ
Uplifting our Mother Earth
And all life everywhere that dwells here
And in the Universe
Forever and ever and ever--
Amen
Today I celebrated my younger daughter, Jennifer's birthday. We shared a wonderful and filling meal at Cheesecake Factory and then saw a movie before retiring home to enjoy her ice cream birthday cake from Coldstone Creamery. This was actually the second cake I bought, since the first ice cream cake melted after I accidentally stored it in the refrigerator instead of the freezer. Whoops! I must have still been zoned out from yesterday's meditation, but oh well. My family got a good laugh out of it, and so did I. It was a good reminder than it is always better to laugh at your mistakes instead of worrying about them.
Love and Peace,
~ Lightworker Gloria
