You do not need to be Jewish to appreciate the celebration flowing through these days that represent the beginning of a new year. From Darshan: The Presence Within, once Kundalini Shakti has been awakened and we follow the path, we come to discover that her energy is always with us. This energy flows in the form of her teachings, in the form of practices, in the form of our own awakened inner power. Furthermore as the experience of our own inner self becomes more and more accessible to us we begin to understand the power of Love that resides within all things. The Grandmother. From the very beginning, the young woman felt close to the old woman, whom she called 'Grandmother.' The Grandmother told her stories about her life, and in particular about the boy who had grown up to be the young woman's father. During the Grandmother's...

When I make a mistake I like to look at it as paving a new way to the truth. In the spirit of the new year -- Teshuvah is always new. For every new mistake you make you merely create a new way to see. Forgiveness and atonement as the gateway into a new beginning, a new year... Wishing you a most happy Rosh Hashanah to all and to all a good day... And.... "May you be inscribed and sealed in the book of life for a good year." Love, Mel

Issue 12 of Mels Love Land #MiniMag is near and dear to my heart. It represents the constant gardening of gratitude, the sweet celebration of all that we are, all we do and all the love we continue to share.

For us the quote from Muriel Barbery's delightful quote 'celebrate, celebrate, celebrate without losing your shorts’ seemed like a stroke of genius and great advise when I started my practice of loving everyone. Celebration became the ever beckoning siren song to ease on down the loving road. With this attitude and a commitment to celebrate each step, to find ways to applaud peoples accomplishments, to cheer for ...

The most impactful thing about the days and months and years after September 11th for me was listening to the experience of our nation's children.   I heard so many kids explaining what the day meant to them and what their plans were to help make the world a better place.   One thing was clear.   It shifted the course of their futures.
