A Confession and a Decision

A Confession

Here is my true confession. I want you to sign up for Northern Naturals' e-letter.

http://www.northernnaturals.com/contact.html

Many of you already have, and this tickles and delights my heart. If you haven’t, I would LOVE it if you did. This is a way for you to enjoy further discounts, information and announcements, as well as track what I am doing and where I am headed with the business.

I have a little conflict running inside.

*I want your support as I navigate this new world of internet business.

*I want to share my enthusiasm for this business with you.

*I want you to be part of the growing Northern Naturals family.

*I want to offer you some of the best products on the market at affordable prices.

AND, what I don’t want is for you in anyway to feel pressure to sign up, or to buy anything from Northern Naturals’ expanding line of natural and organic products for the home and office sanctuary.

“Wants” and “don’t wants” are looming. I know full well it may not be your desire to come on board with Northern Naturals, and so it is. As with all desires, here is my opportunity to surrender and allow things to be as they are. So do as you please, please.

A Decision

Also, my blog has been a creative and wonderful place for me to land during this past year while journeying far from home. It is not like I will never talk about Northern Naturals here again, but I would like to use blogabout-lynda as a forum for reflection with a few cool pictures thrown in.

Well there you have it, a dose of honesty on this very last Monday of December.

Still Snow

Today is the solstice, a full moon and a lunar eclipse. Winter pivots on this day, as if the sole purpose of lighting all our holiday candles is to announce the coming of these longer days.

Last week, there was a winter storm here in the City Different that left eight inches of snow. This mantle of white ignites my love of winter as it transforms the hard edges of contrast while blending, connecting and unifying all things. I think snow is “grace in form” displaying no discrimination as it blesses everything from the dumpster to the trees. It is this beauty that seeps inside reacquainting my heart with wonder and love while snowflakes land without a sound.

In this stillness the outer world pierces my mind’s assessment of wonder. Beyond all the painted words is this place of trust and direct connection with the absolute truth of our existence. As I celebrate the snow, the solstice and the coming of the light, I send you this peace that has no edges, no form, no beginning and no end.

Bless you all.
