I think this year has been truly interesting for all of us. Namely, myself I have been all over the place. Working two jobs seven days a week, gogo events, and photo shoots have kept me quite busy. I barely had time to arise to the occasion. Meaning, this blog, to write back to people, cultivate new skills, send photos to my agent, examine charity dossiers, and so on. For the past six months, I was not the potential I hoped for. So, I traveled back to my home country, Germany; for the holidays. I think the reason was to remember who I am and where I’d ultimately be going.
I’m not alone. This year has been filled with sadness, confusion, and anger for so many. And so, we sit feeling broken with the wrong job, the wrong obstacles, and the wrong in our hearts. Worried…about our family and friends. We forget about the magic in us all. That is what the holidays are really about….Hope. There’s this-magic if you will, that follows me and my family. I cannot explain it but the more we love, the more we hope, the stronger it becomes. I guess what I am trying to say is that from experience, the more we as a people realize that our potential is everyone’s hope the more we come to find out that these magical moments become more and more frequent and outstanding! 🙂
My mother taught me that compassion is a daily practice and in order for that magic to work we must love and give it time. Let me share something else: In 2014, on many search engines, we have made trillions of searches. What does this say about us? That we search for Hope more than we do fear, for innovation more than story, for things we love, for greatness, for meaning~~
So for the holidays, in order to bid hope, love, and courage to face the unexpected, I share this affirmation with you.
Just say this in the mirror everyday you can and the more people that say these words~ the more we find that the magic in us all is more powerful than we could ever have imagined.
“From all obstacles, from all suffering, may I be free.
To bid myself, my family, friends, and all whom I encounter with hope and happiness.
May whatever I gained not be lost and may I practice compassion with all the wisdom and love I know I have.
Into the sun!
My day and all those around are bright and brighter.”
My mother and father are so very sick but I sit here smiling at these words because my heart whispers:
“We all will make it”..
Happy Holidays! May the magic of winter and yule tidings find you!
