Thanks Lindsley Field - nice to be in the New Year and out of the ''13 year!
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Andrew Harvey's Beautiful New Years Greeting
Dear Friends,
I am sending love to you all from Istanbul, at the beginning of our New Year. The next few years are going to be crucial for humanity and will decide the course of our evolution. However difficult and chaotic the path ahead becomes, commit yourself to ever deepening spiritual practice, to a radical simplification of your life and to doing whatever you can with grace and joy for all sentient beings. Rumi wrote “Even if every being grew sad, a lover’s heart will still stay a rose garden.”
To keep your rose garden fragrant is your highest responsibility, for that will be the highest possible contribution you can make, inspiring others with joy and the peace of your presence. Realize this at the deepest level you can and know that divine grace is pouring down on all of us continually to give us courage, sacred passion, wisdom, strength and humble power. We are not abandoned and we must not abandon ourselves. May Divine Love protect you and your families and guide all those in whose hands the future policies and practices of humanity lay.
Love Always,
Andrew

A New Year, A New Book - First Chapter - Be Ready for Love
We will open the book. It's pages are blank. We are going to put words in themselves ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
Be ready for love when it does come. Prepare the field and be ready to nourish love. Be loving, and you will be lovable. Be open and receptive to love. - Louise L. Hay
Effie Aghili How I love this beautiful reminder, indeed everyday is a new page, is a new chapter, is a new life

A Moment to Remember from 2013
Here is a moment to remember from yesterday - New Years Eve 2013
I was getting out of car on way to abode, when this young boy, leading his little sister on bicycles, replied to my "Happy New Year" - "it is up to you!" I looked at him and he smiled at me knowingly. I responded with a nod and a sheepish "thanks!"
