Ask Avalonne

I’d like to share one of my favorite poems to express my New Year’s wishes for you:

This is the Year

Wonderful, wonderful, fortunate you,

This is the year that your dreams come true!

This is the year that your ships come in,

This is the year you find joy within.

This is the year you are glad to live,

This is the year you have much to give.

This is the year when you know the Truth,

This is the year when you find new youth.

This is the year that brings happiness,

This is the year you will live to bless.

Wonderful, wonderful, fortunate you,

This is the year that your dreams come true!

~ Russell Kemp

Here’s wishing you a blessed new year!

Whether you live in the USA or elsewhere, today is a great day to count your blessings. Every day is a good day to count your blessings, but there’s something especially empowering about joining in with all the other folks whose hearts are lifted in gratitude. Even if your spirits are low, simply making the effort will be of help to you.

Are you able to read this page? If so, then you have a host of blessings which should never be taken for granted: You have access to a computer. You can see. Chances are that you also have the use of your hands, if you navigated to this site without assistance. Your brain is working pretty well if you can read and understand this text. I’ll let you take it from there.

Most of us take for granted a host of daily wonders and miracles — basic good health, ready access to food, clean water, safe transportation — and tend to focus only on those areas which are in need of improvement. Let’s reverse that trend today, and focus on what’s right about ourselves and our lives. It may be the single most important step we can take to begin improving our conditions.

Here’s a greeting that I created for you. Enjoy, and happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings and Peace,

Avalonne

Following is a story a friend shared with me. I hope you will ponder it, especially if you are looking for a miracle in any area(s) of your own life.

Have you ever noticed how rare it is to find a truly caring person — one who sincerely cares about you and wishes you well, without any desire to get anything from you? Have you wondered why this is so?

Whether you are searching for a mate, or just hoping to create some friendships with people who will truly be there for you when the chips are down, you may have noticed that most of your “prospects” eventually turn out to be pretty self-centered and uncaring. If this describes some of the key people in your life, read on.
