These are
the types of examples that make up the many scenarios and segments of our
lives. What is the difference between
celebrating Christmas in another country opposed to spending it in the United
States?
The many,
many miles that separate me from the states I still actually see trees and
ornaments, chocolate Santa’s and Reindeer’s.
There are Christmas stockings and hats fake snow in a can but for what
purpose? It is solely for the
commercial aspect? Or is it to make us
feel as if we are home? All of these so
call customary gestures that are being extended to us is reminding me of the
song ”It’s Beginning To Look Alot Like
Christmas” ~ Ok well maybe a tropical Christmas with palm trees, sand and
water. Hey I am not complaining at
all! I look at it as being very unique
just like me (smile)!
I never
understood why one month out of the year it brings the most amazing sense of
giving no matter on what level. It is as
if everyone stores up a level of caring until December. And for the entire month of December our cups
runneth over in so many ways. But wouldn’t it be so much better if we could
give that energy throughout the year?
And I am not just talking about monetarily but in the actual action the caring
for one another as in mankind. We all
have grown up in a society where there are classes Upper, Middle, Lower. I am not sure who came up with this but we
all know that is how it is. But from
what I know is that there isn’t any ranking or classes. There is no superiority or lower class the
only class is “The Human Race” that
is it.
So where do
we go from here? How do we move forward
and try to uplift instead of letting people know that they are less
fortunate. How do we look within
ourselves to say YES we noticed that
you may not have what I have but my eyes are open and I am here to assist you
in making a better life? I am here to
give you the tools that I used for me to grow as I am ready to plant a seed
within your mind to uplift your life. There are so many different types of gifts
that we can focus on besides money. We
can give a gift of self where we can incorporate meditation into our lives to
quiet our minds to hear from within. We
can give the gift of encouragement, the gift of smiles, of happiness, of
love. There are so many things that we
can give. For me my gifts that I give
back to the world aren’t necessarily to be only given on Christmas or during
the holiday season but throughout the year.
As I work on knowing who Dawn is I tend to go beyond my thoughts and
actions in learning in some of the unusual methods by attending the College of
the Universe. That in itself makes me
smile because for me that is limitless there is never a degree that I have to
be associated with but overall each step that I take I know that it is taking
me to the next level of greatness. And
when I mention greatness that is within me towards my legacy, my own personal,
truly what I desire to satisfy… an urge of knowledge. I have learned so much and in no way am I an
expert but I go outside of the box, I go to the next level! I
follow my inner voice that guides me to the next lesson or class that I am to
take and I embrace it to the upmost. I
have always had a love for learning and that will never go away because for me
that is life… like the air I breathe everyday to exist.
I LOVE
LEARNING!!!!
But what
excites me even more is the giving back of what I have learned and the aspect
of sharing. Yes to some it maybe weird
or unconventional but it works for me. It is something that I have pushed myself to
do to not be confined in a box. I think
for me I have always been a nonconformist in so many ways by asking questions all
the time you know “The Why’s”
lol. To be honest The Why’s got me to
where I am today! To the most amazing
place within that I know so well which that makes me who I am.
So hmmmm….
I pondered what
exactly would be my gifts that I would give to the world this year? Well
I have my ability to learn and try out so many different practices that leads
me in so many different directions? (I think that is very interesting) Now
that I am thinking it would be in a form of re-gifting what I have learned,
applied and giving back to the world is “The Gift That Keeps On Giving”!
So on this
holiday season I will give the gift of life, hope, happiness and love. I will continue to share my gift of words
that I share on my blog that is truly a very essential part of my existence. Words have always been a part of my life and
it has comforted me at night in times of turmoil and in time of happiness and
love. It is the gift from above that was
given to me that I hold so very dearly that I am able to give back. I have been gathering up my gifts along the
way from the very moment of my existence and these are the gifts that I will be
sharing from this moment forward. So
this holiday season I am wishing you all to live a life of POSITIVITY!!!! A life that we long to have but never stepped
onto that invisible step of life to see if it will hold us up. Stepping out on faith, on a sense of knowing
on the existence of who we are and what we are here to experience. The miraculous feeling of this time of the
year is magically filled with lights, warmth and comforting conversation.
My Gift is
my knowledge that has been wrapped up for many years. Now is the time for them to be unwrapped and
shared with the world. I have taken off
the pretty bow and ripped off the colorful paper and beneath it all is ME!!!!
As I
continue to fill my soul with love, my mind with words and my being with
light. I will continue to share the
words from above for us all to live a wonderful life!
HAPPY
HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL ~ Dawn
