The holiday season is traditionally a sacred time of birth and renewal. And this holiday season is particularly special. I will do my best to find words to express what I am experiencing in my heart, while recognizing that words will fall short. And yet I must try, for we are entering into an era unlike any in human history. A time when the consciousness of the entire planet, if we so choose, can shift into a higher vibration. A time when many of the ailments that collectively plague us can be resolved, when we can take steps to unite as a global family and work together in harmony, when we can begin to recognize the Divine in all of creation and embrace our sacred duty as the stewards of our beautiful Mother Earth.

This unprecedented opportunity is being created by a galactic shift occurring on 12/21/12. I realize that for many of you this is a new, and perhaps even strange, concept. For others you may be aware of this shift but wish to know more. And so, I have decided to dedicate this newsletter, as my holiday offering, to sharing information about this amazing time.

On 12/21/12, many large cycles of time will come to completion, and new cycles of time will begin. This great shift has long been prophesied by many indigenous traditions, including the Mayan, Incan, Hopi and Vedic. These cycles of time occur as a result of Earth's patterns of movement within our solar system and the Milky Way galaxy.

As we enter into this new time period, an opportunity is created for an energetic shift, an evolutionary leap, which gains power by our intention. Millions of people on Earth today, perhaps more than ever before in human history, are focusing their loving intent on allowing for this to be a transition into a world of greater peace, love, care for our planet, and an awareness of our heart-centered connection to each other and to our divine Oneness. Whether or not the galactic alignment is the cause of such a monumental transformation or simply a catalyst, by millions of people coming together and sharing in this common intention, the consciousness of the entire world can indeed shift ~ signaling an end to outdated ways of being that no longer serve us and paving the way for a new era.

If you are reading this newsletter, you likely are already on a path of bringing love and light to the world. I humbly wish to join with all of you as we unite in our common goal of bringing peace, love, harmony, and sustainability to our world...
