The Sun is Coming Back To Us

As The Eagle Flies

The Sun Is

Coming Closer

NOW

Good morning

What a Winter Solstice it is ~

The sun is making its way back to us.

It is now 

Winter

it is official,

but 

I think we would be hard pressed to convince those across the country to believe it is just now starting

since record snowfalls have already fallen.

I hear the snows are to fall in

DC for Santa's ride there as well, making for a white Christmas in many areas this year.

HOPEFULLY

the sun will shine

as Santa rides in on the

back of the Dolphins 

here in Florida!

Well here we are in the middle of the week of

Christmas.

The roads are busy, the airports are getting crazy with folks traveling all over the world.

Security is high as are people's nerves

 and

 patience appears to be the last thing on the list of items packed for the trip.

It seems that flights are being delayed across the country secondary to the weather already,

friends, families and loved ones

are showing signs of stress and worry.

The groecery stores are doing a booming business

and the 

gas stations have not surprised us

here in Florida as we are noticing that 

the price just went up once again

in time for Christmas travel.

Given all of that,

Tis The Seaon to be Jolly

to BE Merry, Bright, and

above all

Generous in Spirit

How's that working for all of you on this

fine Wednesday morning?

Have you gotten those cards and pleas out to

OPRAH

about 

Healing Heartaches yet?

Wonder what Oprah is doing to celebrate

Christmas this year?

No No No

Not for others, not with her make-up on, or those 

fine and fresh high heels with the RED soles on the bottom that appear on her feet during the shows.

BUT

What is Oprah doing

as a person for the holidays?

Is she busy preparing like all of us?

Do you think the child in her is coming out to play with wonder and awe... as I am these days?

Wonder if she and Gayle King or Steadman are just giddy with the thoughts of unwrapping presents, or baking or the smells of fantastic things coming from the kitchen... or ... is she on the cruise ship somewhere getting ready to put her toes

 (pedicure by the tennis star legend) in the sands??

Wonder if she is getting ready to curl up with a copy of Healing Heartaches just because she can over the holidays, while getting ready to razzle us with her brilliance on the new OWN in January?

Now that would be a hoot and a holler...

Sure HOPE someone remembers to send me

some "smelling salts" for Christmas just in case!

LOL

Oh how I HOPE so!

Whatever O is doing, I HOPE she does it with a desire of all that she is, and enjoyment of O the person and not so much O the mega star and allows the magic of the season to fill her soul.

The magic of the holidays is what 

we make them, what we choose for them to be.

Where you've been is not where you are,

what you've been through

you've been through

and

you can't go back there again.

Who you are is 

differerent now

no matter who you are

how big you get

or

what you become.

YOU

are the one who gets to choose

who, what, where, and when to 

embrace the magic

of the

Winter Solstice

the 

Reason of the Season

and the

HOPE 

in the holidays

or

The WONDER

of your world.

So

If you are Oprah or if you are Olivia, Kamryn, D'Vante, 

or

If you are

YOU

I HOPE

you are in a state of wonder, awe, excitement

as we enter the winter of 2010

as we

stand in the middle of

Christmas Week!

As we participate in family and friend rituals

celebrations

and joy, kindness and compassion

I pray you peace, good will and passion

for all living things.

 The tree and I are ready

now we wait... we wonder, with the eyes of a child, the hearts of the Ancestors, and the spirit of all living things that have or will ever be.

As the family gears up, and the countdown is underway...

The fire is burning brightly, the embers are hot, with sage in the air, for all who gather here and

those who know who they are,

the prayer bowl is offered...

Stand UP

STOMP

in great gratitude for this day.

Walk In Beauty,

DRSES
