* THIS ISSUE'S ARTICLES *

Crappy to Happy
by Randy Peyser.

"What am I doing?" is the most frequent question I ask as I let go of my most recent job and relationship. The answer always comes back the same: "You are being true to yourself. You are living your Truth." "This is crazy," I say to myself...

Finding Your Mission
by Daisaku Ikeda.

What's important is that you challenge yourself in something, it doesn't matter what. Then by making consistent effort, the direction you should take will open up before you naturally. It's important to have the courage to ask yourself what you should be doing now, this very moment.

According To Plan... Not!
by Mariana Caplan.

When is the last time your life worked out the way you planned and expected it to? And if by chance a segment of it did happen to go as planned, did you feel how you expected you would? And if you did feel how you expected to, did it last?

THIS ISSUE'S COLUMNS:

BOOK REVIEW:
God, Is That You?
by Katharine C. Giovanni.

"If you believe that God can speak to you, and you have no doubts, then you will be able to hear Him". How to rid yourself of such doubts and converse with God is the subject of this provocative new book.

HEALTH & YOU:
Addictions to Coffee, Sugar, Caffeine... by Brigitte Mars.
Current estimates suggest that addictions affect 1/3 of the population in the US. When most of us hear the word addict, we think crack, cocaine, or heroin... We don't think about sugar -- yet sugar is the most prevalent addictive substance in the world!

HOROSCOPE (weekly):
by Eliza Bassett.
Oct. 17th - Oct. 23rd, 2002

CALLING ALL PARENTS:
Communicating With Your Children
by Lee Carroll & Jan Tober.

Anger is at a high level, mostly due to the frustration of a generation of parents and educators who feel that they've done their best, but that something has "slipped between the cracks". The core answer to the phenomenon before us is a basic change in attitude with respect to raising children.

DEAR CHILD

 

 Dear Child,

Once is not enough. You must time and time again let others know that you love them.

It is like watering a flower. One watering is not enough to keep a flower alive.

Tell those you love that you love them time and time again and watch them blossom from the unconditional love you are offering.

          All is well, Child of God.

INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

    

   CHRISTMAS WISH LIST...

"Greetings from an Old Friend"

Dear People of Earth,

The potential for creating a Golden Age of peace, cooperation, and true prosperity is closer to being realized than any single one of you imagines. Yet, it IS your imagination, coupled with great desire and great courage, that will bring it into Reality. Of this I have no doubt.

There are, however, a few things that trouble me. So, I've made out my Christmas Wish List, so to speak, and I would really love to see these manifest under my tree (and on the Earth) on Christmas morning:

1. A personal commitment by each one of you to see the absurdity of winners and losers, and to begin to create new forms of self-governance based on cooperation and love. Begin by owning the law of your Divine Authority in your heart, and be false to no one!

2. A personal commitment to acting in kindness to all of Creation, no matter what form it takes, and no matter what choices it makes.

3. A personal commitment to say "Yes" to all of that which celebrates and supports Life, and an equal commitment to say "No" to all values and misperceptions that are based in fear, lack, limitation, and control.

4. A personal commitment to Planetary health and well-being. Start by loving yourself, then look outward and appreciate Nature and revere Her as the manifestation of you and your Creator. How could you possibly do conscious harm to Her, knowing it is You that you see in your environment?

5. A personal commitment to become innocent children once again! Nothing warms my heart more than to experience the joyful noise of children as they play. Your are your Mother's children. Act like it!

6. A personal commitment to gift someone this time of year with something of yourself you did NOT purchase at a mall. Feed your brothers and sisters!

7. A personal commitment to forgive the past; your's and everyone else's.

8. A personal commitment to conscious, deliberate, and creative living in this coming year. Your dreams DO make a difference!

9. A personal commitment to selflessness and blissfulness. Hint: they are the same thing.

10. A personal commitment to accepting all of your Self as the only thing that is Real, and therefore, worthy of Love.

I hope that you may see your way clear to answering the prayers for all of the wishes on my list. After all this time, it should be apparent that who I Am is the demonstration of all that you desire to be. So, until I see you in your sugarplum dreams, I wish you and yours a most jolly Season of Joy and Mirth!

In Loving Service, Santa Claus
