Dearest Friends and Community,
Writing in green…coming from my heart space to you. Happy New Year! Images from my advent calendar, Gnomes (and Fairies) in the Snow by Ernst Kreidolf. Oh dear friends how I love them! I so enjoyed the images every day, even though I started late and not in the best of seasonal circumstances, I allowed the magic to find me every day.
It is available to us all, no matter how far away we think we are from it. Certainly no matter how old we are, or even how well or unwell we perceive ourselves to be…magic abides within and without, above and below, present beyond the bounds of time and space,and mind and matter…it is in fact what we live and breathe…and once we allow ourselves to know it again, it is ours for keeps.
Yes we have our ups and downs, but that is no reason to relinquish the magic of being. Yes, our world is a mess, but more reason for us to find the magic in it that exist within us all to find. Do we dare to find joy in this dream we live in with each other? Do we dare to hold within each of our songs the resonant cord that joins us to each other, or the adventure in our trudging through life, holding in our heart the courage to balance, as one foot we put before the the next step we take? What is it that we must hold to stay afoot? Do we dare to not squander our magic and trade it for misery? I pray not, and I will do my part to remind you each time we are together of the things we cannot forget, or shall I say, the things we are here to remember, that are buried in us …in our bones, in our flesh, in our spirit and in our soul…that awaken us from our nightmares to our aliveness, that open our hearts, that build and bind us to our courage, that give voice to the truth we each hold as a
memory allowing us each to find our truth to know,live,carry and share within the collective of magic and dreams. We can choose living happily ever after.
I will share more down the page on these images and on this topic this week, after the weeks calendar and upcoming events. Also I will share what I am stepping into, to share more fully in our Heart Space community with the potential to remember and embrace ones own magic.
Announcements:
A note of deep gratitude for all those who attended the New Years Eve gathering and cacao ceremony. It was awesome to welcome so many! I thank you for the warmth of your cauldrons that were offered to the evening. It was a magical evening that has inspired me to continue it through the year. Look for, The Coven of Hearth and Home, to begin in February. This will be a journey into our own remembrance with the ceremonial cacao. I am so excited to develop and offer this bit of truth and magic to bring into our daily life. Imagine a dancing emoji right here! Yayyyyy!
I know many are thinking of Nick so I will offer an update. We are still in the wonderment of what the heck is going on. Still in process of finding more answers and trying to abide the resources of different healing options and modalities. Again I will add that he is in many ways getting better. What is left is confounding some of the best in the field of specialist. We keep waiting to turn the corner. We thank you for your emails of concern along with your prayers. Please keep them coming!

Thank you for your presence and patience.
And now…
Life Is A Song…and an Adventure…
What song do you love to hear that feels like yours? Do we choose a song to forget or to remember? All of them are important and matter. Remembrance will wait for us because it never is lost. Our short, long and infinite memory just waits for us to return to it when we are ready with the strength and patience it will require to hold it to our heart, to bring it into our heart. We do not need it to feel we are sacred, that arrives with each breath we take. We do not need it to be part of anything, we are already part of life and existence, and we are perfect in that we already have what is needed to meet the moment of our own evolutionary magic.
There is always a song to our life. The chords that make us laugh out loud at ourselves and the foolishness of striving so hard towards the mistakes we make to procure what we imagine as our happiness. Just part and parcel of our humanity. And there are the harps and strings of our sorrows and losses…our regrets and shame, our damage and trauma, the section of our song that allow us to cry and feel and know there must be more to life than this. And there is in our song the happiness and love in our life that act as a respite between sorrows that we so wish there was more of, not just for us but for us all. And then there is the contemplative section that evokes us towards the movement of ourselves. It brings a stop to all the movement, and thoughts and worries and even dreams, and it is our rest from doing, and our journey into being.
And from our song, in our song, is our life as an adventure. Up and down the mountainous ladders of life, across the snows,and rough terrain, the balanc we hold in stepping with one foot ahead, and then the next as the other draws back. We do not think of it as courage or bravery but it is. Some cannot, and do not keep going. Our faces showing the wear of concern and worry of the realized sojourn. The determination, and knowing of the strength and bravery of the trip through life, no matter the situation or circumstance, holding it all as sacred, and knowing the wonder in it all is that we keep ourselves afoot to both endure and embrace the uncertainty of it all and find the grace to be held, guided and directed by the magic of all there is. And in that grace we remember and we know and we see the happily ever after that we can so choose.
I know it may sound like a fools dream in a world such as ours. But when we relinquish the thoughts we think, that have created the world we can most visibly see, the world of separation, fear and violence, we might want to contemplate what we have missed, traded off, dismissed, ignored and of course forgotten to get here. The good news is that it is waiting for us to be called home to ourselves, to remember the more that we are, the more that there is, the magic afoot in every step…should we so choose. May we each in this new year choose to find what has been lost.
With love, peace and blessings,
Denise Yocco
