I went for the most glorious ski today on the lake. It was perfect, with no wind blowing and incredible sparkles of light reflecting on the snow. As I was skiing I noticed how the sparkles of light on the snow shimmered when I moved. As soon as I stopped the snow crystals stopped glittering. Once I started skiing again the snow shimmered directly parallel to me….not behind me nor in front of me.

As I take steps into my life, my life glitters. When I pay attention to the moment I am in, my life shines. Life does not shimmer in the past or in the future….only in the now!

May your life glitter, sparkle, shimmer and shine as you move and live in the present moment!

After reading from Marianne Williamson’s book ‘A Return to Love’ about shining our divine lights, each person was invited to light a candle as they held an image of the dreams they had for themselves, family, community and the planet.

The wind was bitterly cold blowing off the lake, and at first none of the candles would light. Just like the penguins in Antarctica, we all huddled together around the person lighting their candle, to ensure their candle lit…even if for a brief moment. I was amazed at everyone’s patience, especially my 4 year old grandson ‘Aiden’, who’s job was to shine his headlamp onto each lantern, which he did with great focus and determination!

The experience was a metaphor for me of the importance of supporting one another in our dreams…that it is difficult on our own to keep our flames and dreams burning, but together with the support of other’s we are more likely to succeed in maintaining our focus and manifesting our dreams.

Penguins have much to teach us about teamwork, cooperation and working in partnerships and as a collective to achieve success. May the seeds of your dreams be nourished with love and light while supported by the Spirits, community and the universe!

With love and gratitude! Martha
