Happy Holidays
From my house to yours
May abundant blessings
Pour over you now and all throughout
The New Year.
Dear Friends,
Isn’t it amazing how fast time flies? And the older one gets, the faster it goes! I am so grateful for old age! I love having a say in the use of my time. I love being able to come and go as I please. I love creating a peaceful, beautiful space around me in my sweet little home here in Brooksville, FL with the year-round flowers in my gardens and the Sacred Spiral for meditation. (Photo to the left shows the five-foot waterfall and the spiral).
I’m now part of a weekly Yoga meditation group, which uplifts and inspires me. I encourage you to find a group of spiritual people where you can meditate to raise your consciousness. It is the best way to create the life experiences you desire. Plus we all need to pray for peace and prosperity for all of humanity throughout 2017.
Recently, I talked my friend, Pam Merrill into teaching a beginner’s oil painting class in the clubhouse here in Cloverleaf 55+ Park. I’ve been inspired and delighted with the results called “Moonlight Memories” and “Fruit.”
A friend loaned me her golf cart last night so I could take a couple friends on a two-hour tour of the lights around the park. It was delightful. Now those same friends are trying to talk me into getting my own golf cart. But I don’t want to give up my little outdoor patio under the car port in front of the house.
I love the way God sends me people to become a part of my life. I met a woman at McDonald’s—I didn’t know why I was inspired to buy lunch when I had eaten less than a couple hours before—but afterwards I knew. I simply let her tell me all about her life, which was fascinating. She showed me her delightful drawings that were a collage of the people in her life. I encouraged her to put them into a book of her memoirs. I hope she does for it will be priceless for her seven (!) children. But, alas, she doesn’t even have a computer. It flashed through my mind how I could make a career out of helping seniors write their memoirs—but nixed that idea—I have to write my own first—and finish my second novel—and finish that 11 foot rug—and paint and…!
What do you love to do? Do you make time for yourself to do them? I really hope so, for your soul yearns to express itself in a multitude of ways. It is not selfish to do so. It is God creating through you. Don’t ignore those urges. Begin writing your memoirs with short stories. My son, Tom, has written excerpts of events from his life. I was impressed and delighted with them.
I have been inspired to put my “Letters from a Guardian Angel” with free shipping before Christmas, but alas! I forgot. So, I’m offering an “After Christmas Sale” of any of my books with free shipping. Just call me at 352-848-3011, and I’ll put them in the mail pronto!
I’m sending you an abundance of good energy to uplift and inspire you. May your 2017 be the most amazing year of your life. No matter what is going on in the world around you, you create your own world by your thoughts and desires. Only fear, anxiety, anger, worry, and frustration can bring you an undesirable future. Rejoice and give thanks for all you have—don’t focus on what you don’t have. Rejoice and give thanks that all your needs are met each day and every day of your life. Then give thanks that it is so, and YOU WILL MAKE IT SO!
With great love,
Betty Rae
