Observing Advent

For people who don't know Advent is the season of anticipation and quiet hope that proceeds Christmas. For all of you who don't 'do' Christmas this is still a powerful time to invite the same sense of quiet hope that you feel because something good is about to happen.

I wanted to focus on Advent this year for a few reasons. Firstly, I lean towards sarcasm, which can foster some cynicism. I want to feel fresh and new, now. I want to gasp at sparkles every time I see them. I want to feel awesome because I feel awe. Secondly, I want to welcome A Miracle. I want to prepare myself physically, mentally and emotionally for Miracles in the upcoming year. I want to see the miracles and get close to them. This year I will follow a star and prepare gifts. I want to shift my lenses. I want to buy some rose colored glasses and view the world through them.


This is my challenge. Join in and be amazed....
