The power of our collective heart means when one of us celebrates we all celebrate, when one of us forgives we all benefit from that forgiveness.  Each life touches so many others because we are all connected. Since I'm unofficially a quarter Jewish, I feel blessed to be able to participate with my Jewish friends and family in many of their ceremonies. Our friend Michael held a Spiritual retreat for Yom Kippur at Holmby Park in Bel Air a few years ago that I was lucky enough to share in. It was a beautiful time to cleanse the energy of the past, and rest in the oneness of spirit and community alongside the trees and the grass and the breeze all calling forth a joining, a unity and most importantly a clearing of that which we no longer have to carry.

As we reflect on another ending and beginning, as we say hello and goodbye to loved ones, as we see the dawn of a new day and the setting sun of our tomorrows, wanted to say I am grateful for all the love and support that has been shown to this blog. Saw a great message over a door I entered this weekend, bloom where you are planted.  It made me happy.  I hope you find some inspiration in its message.  It reminded me that in every moment the possibility of blossoming lives and breaths. There is a garden growing and flourishing brilliantly within the ground of your being utilizing divine intelligence symbiotically blossoming in service to the highest expression of who you are. This garden is nourished by Love. Enjoy what blossoms before you today and everyday. "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." --William Wordsworth.
