THIS IS A TIME OF MIRACLES

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

My Christmas wish for you is that you’ll allow yourself the luxury of being human and vulnerable, soft and pliable. While at the same time allowing yourself to be divinely orchestrated and ful-filled. As I watch your hearts expand and contract in unison I see a mirror image of the universe in its pulsation and explosions. If you could only truly grasp the fullness of this cinematic picture you call life you would delight in its gardens and bounty. Here sits the secret of the universe in full bloom. Herein sits time in all of her sequences and sections.

The great puzzle within seeks to see the picture on the box, if only to make construction of the ideals easier. The pieces mix and match like a color blind tourist on holiday. Signs are twisted, roads run out, bridges fall as you try to cross to the other side of this knowing. As the year ends stay at a place of knowing without restraints or constraints. A place of ‘no expectations’ as what is great makes its way to the surface breaking the quiet of the still pond.

Life has all whirling and twirling about as toy soldiers without a mission. Allow the origami of your soul to unfold in its own time and truth. The year pushes and prods you into stitching yourself so thin you begin to fracture. This time stamp and pace will not let up for it is not just seasonal. It is important that your prioritize your life and do not let the karma and choices of others be served to you. You Deserve the very goodness you give to others.

The word De-serve (to be worthy, fit, or suitable for some reward) asks you not just to serve  the needs of others but to allow yourself what is need to complete who you are. You are running on empty in the desert and the fill up station is 100 miles away. Give to the Christ child within you. Let the shining star guide you home to remembering in the fullness of time, what this journey is all about.  The gifts of spirit are promised to you in so many ways via so many sacred texts and Holy Scripture. they are the keys that unlock the shackles you wear as humans.

Between 12:12 and 12:21 of 2007 you will be gifted a cycle of time that will allow you to complete what still holds you hostage in thought and action. Please call upon me Mother Mary to assist you in healing the areas that still fester and pain you. Areas of family or regrets or angers or sadnesses. Allow me to help you join in heart and dream those you still long to see. Allow me to uncover the veil between worlds so you can fully see that, those you love still live on in spirit, in deed, and effect.  Allow me to heal what has transmuted thru time in your family DNA. Allow me to help you see into the heart of another.

This is a time of miracles walking all over earth and you need to see that with your own two eyes. No amount of cajoling is going to get you to the place of believing without a miracle of two displaying their wings for you. EXPECT your family to be healed and forgiven of all past sins and injustices. Expect your life to run smooth and bountiful. Expect help from every human around you if you so needed it. EXPECT the good to come looking for you; expect to be the favorite child of a loving Universe.

See the time between now and 12/12/2007 as a well lit pathway to a new land in time. Use this gift wisely promoting your own dreams in thought and action. Believe in yourself as you believe in others and watch the Christmas Magic dance thru your life. Let the wishes of your life be granted and stop holding them at bay. Create to your full potential and then stretch that ability a little more every day. You were born to do great things remember that every day and act accordingly.

 

 

CREATE GOLD INSTEAD OF LEAD

Stop spending all your time transmuting

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Welcome. I am the energies, the frequencies, the perimeters and the parameters of the one that is known as Merlin. I come on this day to introduce you again to the magic that you have forgotten, the magic of transforming all that is dark and dingy and dank in your life into beauty, into love, into golden opportunities. I come to show you how you can turn the 'lead of your life into golden opportunities.

You all have the innate ability to transmute through a thought, a word, a glance, or a touch. You have the ability to move past time and space as you know it bypassing the speed of light and the sound of laughter. You have forgotten the beauty of the elements of your planet.

You stand at an intersection of light and remembrance waiting for the light to turn. But it is you that must announce and pronounce that incoming light to every cell of your body in a tone of celebration, and in movement – do not stay in the hidden depths of your being, in the basements of the past, move out of the shadows of self and see with the light in your heart.

Alchemically your timer and timing is set to engage as your humanness enters the yearly Apex of light and the planet earth comes fully into an elliptical lens of the future. Changing all of life's perspective as it sees itself in the new life that reflects off the daily changes.  you cannot separate yourself from what you are creating and what is creating you. Every inch of you, every hair, every thought, every iota creates continually with or without your permission. Creation stops for no one and no thing.

So knowing this to be true, create the gold – instead of the lead. Do not spend your time and energy looking for ways to transmute what is lead into gold. Just Create GOLD To Begin With and skip the need for lead.  See every situation, no matter how it looks to your human eye is an opportunity to shine your light or cast a shadow.  You are a body of earth. You are a body of light. You are a body of heaven. Treat yourself magically. Yours is a Cosmic Magic, a Magic that is Light years ahead of you this Magic comes from the stars.

 

 

 

WALKING THROUGH THE MIND FIELDS

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

We come on this day to accentuate the light that you are, the light that you have always been, and the light that you are becoming. This past year has been a year of clearing, of cleansing, of healing, and of letting go.  It has been a year of coming full circle into your heart, into your truth, and into the hidden corridors of your mind.  It has been a year of allowing the negatives in your life to be developed into full color slides. Everything stands blatantly naked in front of you.  You are on a playing field where every point of your virtual reality has now become reality.  Walk softly and slowly as one who walks through minefields. Emotional explosions come forth as the sliding doors of each thought open and close. You are being asked to walk through the mind/mine fields of the memory. 

Let go of all that you have worshiped in the past as truth. Knock the icons off their pedestals.  Each and every one of you walks into the Christed-ness of their own divinity. You have all been certified as divine since birth.  You are being issued certifications that say you are 100% divinely responsible for all of your creations, everything from the past and everything in the future and it can be no other way.  You are responsible collectively as a nation, as a country, as a planet, and as a people. Every single sentence of every single word, of every single thought is being escorted into one doorway or another. 

Creation is amplified.  Thought is amplified.  Deeds are amplified.  Desires are amplified.  Dreams are amplified.  Therefore, as you walk thought these mind/mine fields in your thoughts – walk carefully.  Examine your thoughts mindfully.  Become as one who is spiritually forensic – examine the clues. Do not allow that thought of anger that you have held internally to become external and taint the future of the planet. You are in the creation fields walk softly in your thoughts. 

 

 

 

What Is Not For Your Highest Good,

Crumbles As A Cracker

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Look at your life, your existence. In this past year, how strong have you become standing up for your truths?  How strong have you become as you have remembered droplet by droplet who you were?  How strong have you become as the winds of change encircled your life and forced your beliefs, your heart and your truths out into the open naked and exposed for all to see like a bad dream.  

This new energy of 2008 strips away everything you once knew yourself to be.   It strips away all that others told you that you were, down to the bare essentials. Have you noticed that what is not for your highest good, crumbles as a cracker?  You are Entering the Mt. Sinai of self, that is surrounded by the Dead Sea of what was. Your soul has been scraped away as a barnacle upon a sea rock. 

Stand tall in who you know yourself to be.  Many things around you toss and turn and try to push you from the very ledge of your life.  Whether it is your body, your health, your job, your relationships, it will be quite a rocky ride as you walk to the very top of yourself.  As you stand at the threshold of the new let go of who you knew yourself to be and embrace who you are becoming.  You will free the truths that live within you, proclaiming them to all people of earth.   

You have lied to yourself about your needs, your wants, your desire, and your dreams.  You have lied to others about such things as well.  You have given in, you have given up, and you have swayed as the willow, instead of standing mighty as the oak.  You have let your acorns of truth fall by the wayside and they have seeded nothing you have settled for limitation.   

It is time to climb the mountains of self inside, to receive more, to become more.  It is time to elevate your standards, to elevate your Light, to elevate your dreams.  To plant the flag upon the highest point of self, claiming that highest point of self for all humanity 

The self wants to splash about the puddles of emotions and frailties. The Soul reaches for a higher truth, a higher place of light.  Mankind can no longer settle for who they thought they were. The womb of your humanness is ready for new birth, new seed, and new truths.  It is time to get your soul ready for new planting. Seeds of a future that can not be explained as of yet.  Give yourself time to digest the unknown. It is time to resurrect a new you.  The Rising within you is as a river that rises past its boundaries, as a stream that decides to become a river, as an ocean that decides to reclaim a beach.  Everything must now come to the surface.  At the surface perimeter everything pushes past what it once was. A Quickening, an Acceleration, an Expansion, enters through the divine doorway of you.  

I as Michael, bring you these truths to strengthen your immune system to all the viruses of human thinking. To strengthen the parts of you that have grown weak and tired in fighting your life. Unwrap ever situation in your life with love, and with integrity.  I am Archangel Michael.

 

 

 

You Are Angels & Beautiful Humans

All Wrapped Up In One

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Welcome. I am angelic of origin. I am angelic of nature. I am angelic of light. I am the essence the vibration and the song that is known as Chamuel. I am angel of self-love and I come on this day to enfold you in that thought.

Every measurement of time, every measurement of day and of night reflects of how much you love yourself. Everything on this planet loves you. It is innately and genetically programmed to love you. The dirt that you walk upon loves you. The wind loves to mess up your hair and kiss your body. The animals love you and do not’ understand why you are afraid of them. Everything loves you. The trees smile at you from their great height, but they never look down on you, for they know that you are steward of this beautiful sphere.

When you are in a place of truly loving you, then everything that you desire to manifest and create – can, will, and must happen. For that is the way of the Universe. There are many days when there is not much that you like about yourself. On these days when your creative energies are dismal and have run a muck, your creations are like a highland bog.

Think about a time in your past when you were feeling so good and happy for no reason except being alive. Everything that you touched on that day turned into gold life smiled upon you with many miracles, people gave to you because they felt your love and joy and basked in it by being generous.  Now think about the days that you did not want to get out of bed, you did not want to wake up to the world again.  You got up dragging your feet and energy. Everything you touched that day deflated and drooped.  You ran out of gas (of course), got a flat tire and every red light on the way to work.  This is your life the good the bad the ugly always determined by how much you love who you are.

It is through you that everything happens. It can be no other way. For that is the destiny of this place that you reside upon that loves you more than most days you love yourself. Everything touches everything else And that is what you have forgotten.  That is why I, Chamuel, angel of self-love, come to tell you that -- your moods affect all of life. A tree smiles when you are in a good mood. A tree looses leaves when you are in a bad mood. If you are attracting people that are negative and down in the mouth, then look at your own energy – for the vibration is similar of nature.

Stay in a place of joy, happy to be human, happy to be flesh and happy to be wherever you are at that moment of your experience. You are the center of your universe – every one of you. You are the center of your personal time/space continuum – all separate, but united – similar to the cells in your body. When your heart yearns for something so deep – it is your soul that is asking you to provide it. It could be a walk on the beach that your soul needs. It could be dancing in the rain. It could be traveling around the world or writing an old friend a letter. Who do you think points you in the direction of all of those heart longings?

The self is so caught up in the past injustices it does not look forward. There is always a hindsight that is wrapped around the self of the past. Your soul is where the longings of your heart come from. Look closely at what you long for. Look at what is speaking to your heart and then center your self with love and create it from a point of heart.

Most human beings do not feel love or feel loved. That is constantly increasing as the universe radiates to you what it feels like to be unconditionally loved. This feeling of not being loved may come from your parents but realize they too are learning how to love. You can access lifetimes – future, past, and simultaneous when your parents loved you very much. Ask for that. Maybe your husband or your wife does not show you much affection or maybe your life is empty of love. There have been plenty throughout time that have loved you.

The sun has set and risen on your every want and need. Ask for that love to be initiated into your human self now. There were lifetimes when you were magical (and still are you know) – but you have forgotten. There were lifetimes when everything did your bidding – everything listened to your word and then became what you spoke. You have made gold out of straw more times then we care to count. You are all alchemists. You are angels and you are beautiful humans all wrapped up in one. If you are not getting what you desire at this moment  in time, then you must access a place in space and time that you once received it -- and bring that feeling – (ask for that feeling to flood you)–into your auric field. From that point – create. From that point – love yourself a little more.

Humans are funny creatures. We don’t always understand you – but we always stand by you. You do not feel loved even when someone who loves stand face to face and proclaims their love. You do not feel fulfilled no matter how much is given to you. Humans – you do not understand how vast you are. But we do!  In the meantime as you are trying so hard to remember, we hold the light for you. We sit at the fire. We talk about you and joke about you and we compare notes– we love you dearly. We need you to call upon us -- the angels. We cannot intervene unless it is an emergency – and sometimes your definition of an emergency varies greatly from our definition of an emergency. We are obedient to you as the Mother/Father God commanded.  Time after time and life after life we grow to love you more. In order for us to serve you better, you must direct us into the affairs of your life. We will be there for you. No job is too small or too big. I am Chamuel. I am the angel of self-love and I hope you have a better understanding of what that really means.

 

 

You are being called into a Point of Light

that is excited about you being there

as received by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Welcome. We are the Pleiadian energies. On this day we come forth into your being, energy field and heart. We bring forth the essence of truth – undiluted, untainted raw truth. Truth is what you all seek and truth is what will be issued to you as you walk into more of your true essence.

For many years you have hidden from yourself. You stand behind the door looking through the crack at your life, being afraid to fully immerse yourself into life. You do not come here to sit on the sideline, to stand in the bleachers, to hide behind doors. you come into this life to experience it 100%, to open up every inch of you that has been closed, to feel  in fullness, to let the passions, the juices of life flow through you.

You are afraid of what your heart and your soul asks you to do. Your humanness says to walk up to that person and say hello yet your knees quake and shake, as fear becomes your new companion. Why are you so afraid to walk forward and introduce yourself to the very love of your life?

Everything in you screams that you hate your life, where you live, where you work, yet do you take one step forward into changing your experience? Do you love where you are planted? Do you bless the land that you reside upon? No, you swear like a sailor and you turn your face from it in disgust as the weeds grow higher, the appliances break and the walls peel in remorse because you do not love what you have created. It is a time of loving where you are planted. From that point of loving, from that center of your universe, move forth fully into what your heart desires.

You think your time on earth is so elongated, but in the universal scheme of time, it is but a blink.  After you do finally pass from earth you mourn what you were afraid to do while you were on earth in human form. You mourn the loves that you were afraid to walk into. You mourn because you feared life. Life is not your jailer. Earth is not a prison. It is but a grand amusement park and you are afraid to ride the rides. Most times you are afraid to ingest the sweetness of your life. It is too good, it is too sweet, it can’t be lasting, it can’t eternal, and it certainly can’t be Godly.

It is time for all of you to hold your arms open wide and embrace what is yet to come. For your days of time have shortened. You have 19 and counting, hours in a day. You no longer have the gift of time in the package of 24. Time shortens. Your life quickens, your heart quickens, your pulse quickens, and your passion awakens from a long sleep. No one and nothing of your world can give to you the Cosmic lubrication that you so desire. You need to get back in the saddle again. You stand still, paralyzed with fear like a deer in the headlights, afraid to move forward, afraid to move backward, afraid to move at all. Your life shows that. Your wallet shows that. Your heart shows that, your cars, your yards, and your jobs show that.

As humans you are Gods in disguise. You represent the Gods in the skies and yet – you see not your power, you see not your abilities, and you see not your future. You are blinded by your own light. You wait for the writing on the walls to explain to you the next step of the journey. But the next step of the journey is described and decreed by your own motions and emotions. When you deny your emotions, there is no motion in your life. Your car stands still. Your body stands still. Your paychecks stand still. Your very dreams stand still. Open up to explore the New World of you. You have come to the edge of your world. You have come to the edge of your expectations. Will you fall off?

Immerse yourself in this next leg of your journey. For what abounds before you is beyond your conceptual understanding of time and space. Every cell of your body bursts forth as it remembers its stellar origin. You are off the maps. You are off the screens and the satellites cannot find you. You are expanding faster than the speed of light, if you choose. The more that you hold tight to a state of motionlessness, the more your life will scream at you. Your life screams for its life.  You are the Apex of Creation the favorite horse in the cosmic race. The entire universe has bet on you. Everything awaits your choices.

Earth is not meant to be hard. Humanness is a divine point of origin. Life is a gift. Flesh is a gift. Air is a gift. You are a gift. Love what you have created and let it love you. Honor what you have created. Honor whoever is in your heart, whoever is in your household, and whoever is in your life. You so often want to scrape your life off of your shoes as if it is something dirty. Love this point of creation that you are that you will be, and that you are becoming. The future is up to you. You hold not just the future of your own minimal existence but you hold the future of the entire universe that bets you are a good choice for funning the long race. Time waits for no man but Time waits for all of mankind.

Each step you take into your fearlessness, each thing that you do in love -- no matter how small, ripples out and touches the universe. A great applause is heard throughout the heavens. You took one-step forward into fear, into love, into the future. You stepped away fearlessly. You stepped off the mountaintop knowing you could fly without fear.

Your life beckons you. You are being called into a Point of Light that is excited about you being there. What we come to say to you, in a rather serious tone, is that we need you to be in love. Not just with a person, or a body, or a new car – but with your every experience. We need you to like what you do first, to like whom you live with, and to like your family. And then eventually when you are brave enough to venture down the corridors of love.

We need you to like yourself, because without liking yourself first, you can never get to the point of loving yourself. You are divinely proportionate with what your experience is. You create the ratio of light to dark.

Open up your heart to this next level of your experience. The entire Universe needs you. We are the Pleiadians. Whatever you yearn for – become it. Whatever you wish for – let it be your experience. Stop wishing for it – live it. Allow life to come into you and you to come into life, without regrets, without angers. You are vast  beings that we salute. You are braver than we -- as you incarnated at this time of transition and ascension. We hold the porch light on for you as you find your way home. We leave.

 

 

 

Let The True Light Of The Season Radiate Thru Your Every Action.  Do Not Doubt Or Fear Or Allow The External Frenzied Energies To Control Your Every Move Into This Season Of Miracles.

This is your time wear it well. Become the master of your fate by making higher choices that move you into a space of freedom. Be thankful for all that is you and all that is about you, for you are the creator of that universe as well.

Let the five fingers of self point you in a new direction that will support and enable you to be all that you were born to be. Stop fighting the currents of your life and drifting from drama to drama. Spend your time and energy wisely in your creational mode which runs full speed all the time.

Become that which you yearn to be in your inner heart. Become the picture in your mind as you embrace the higher credenza of purpose. You do not insult God by trying to be a better. Compete with the higher light your universe grows bored and will entertain itself in fashions that will not always be user friendly to humans.

In the energy of Christmas come into your Christed-ness with purpose and plan. Plan to be a better human with a vast purpose. Listen to the signs and hear the future as it beckons your attention. Every day you will be given a series of energies to look at. Within each intersection is a panel of choices which you are also asked to observe. At that point of inner sight and universal choice, let your heart  be the one to vote with purpose and pure intention. Then  quickly move forward into that opening.

Each and every day listen with your heart and then move into that place of thought. Follow your light as it connects with person place or thing. Follow your light as it directs you like a beacon into a place of heavenly choice. Choice is the Grand Master of all human energies as it consumes humanity 24 hrs a day. People are always at a point of choice. Ask to chose higher and wiser and in a place of love and then stand back and watch the show of light shift into holograms of miracles and blessings for all.

Each kindness that you do travels thru space and time touches all on its way to the beginning. You touch the very Godhead, the Source with your every action and inaction, know this always then choose to walk  the fine line of creation. Give to those who do not expect it, Give anonymously with zest. Give of your silent prayers for another you pass on the street, give without thinking allowing it to be a way of life not a season.

 

 

 

StarIQ.com New Moon Report,

December 2007 by Jeff Jawer

New Moon in Sagittarius
Sunday, December 9, 9:40 am PST, 12:40 pm EST

The impetuousness of the Sagittarius New Moon is fueled by a strong 90-degree square from electric Uranus that is bound to bring surprises. Moods can shift in the blink of an eye, plans change in an instant, and wild ideas pop into our heads without warning. The urge for freedom is so strong that it's tempting to violate rules and abandon commitments. An impulse to break from routine and responsibility makes it hard to maintain discipline. But instead of committing petty acts of rebellion against others, find true liberation by changing your own habits and patterns. One small step in a new direction can open up a new world of possibilities.

Jupiter conjunct Pluto Tuesday, December 11
Extreme beliefs can provoke philosophical debates as opinionated Jupiter joins with intense Pluto for the first time in 13 years. A tendency to judge others harshly comes from exaggerated fears. When someone insists that they have all the answers, steer clear instead of falling into a frustrating debate. This is a time to empty ourselves of outmoded ideas and dreams, clear the deck of false expectations, make room for our deepest desires to emerge, and create a realistic plan to fulfill them.

Moon's North Node in Aquarius Monday, December 17
The karmic point of evolution shifts from the Piscean realm of compassionate feelings to the Aquarian one of compassionate ideas. Development of community values and collective action is required to counter the egocentrism of the South Node in Leo. Learning to be more objective and seeing our individual stories as threads in the fabric of collective society will help restore balance during the next 18 months.

Jupiter in Capricorn
Tuesday, December 18, 12:12 pm PST, 3:12 pm EST The planet of exuberant expansion may feel cramped in no-nonsense Capricorn where theories must be proven and success comes from sustained effort and commitment. Negative thinking about the future is possible in this sometimes cynical sign, but it may simply be that pragmatism returns to align our hopes for tomorrow with the realities of today. Speculators and drifting dreamers could suffer disappointment, yet those with discipline, patience and respect for earth's natural cycles can slowly construct their roads to success.

Saturn Retrograde Wednesday, December 19
Saturn's penchant for order becomes more of an internal issue than one dependent upon the conditions set by others. Finding authority within ourselves is how we learn the mastery that gives a sense of organization and control to our lives. Being true to oneself is not a matter of living up to some lofty principles, but being as honest as we can about what we feel inside. Pretty or petty, noble or not, the truth of knowing where we stand makes it possible to go anywhere with confidence.

Mercury in Capricorn Thursday, December 20, 6:43 am PST, 9:43 am EST
Mental Mercury is particularly rational in practical Capricorn. The mind's eye is directed toward problem-solving and organization to produce concrete results instead of vague speculation. While abstract thinking may be replaced with a narrower perspective, this is an excellent time for constructive conversations free of emotional excess and managing the complex procedures required for success.

Sun in Capricorn
Friday, December 21, 10:08 pm PST, Saturday, December 22, 1:08 am ESTThe Winter Solstice (Summer in Sydney) is a time to set priorities. As we approach the end of 2007 it's natural to look back and assess your accomplishments and what remains to be done. Aiming high provides motivation to advance yourself personally and professionally. Establishing lofty goals offers the incentive needed to maintain focus throughout the year ahead. If you doubt that you can advance your ambitions, remember that you only have to take one step at a time to climb the highest mountain. There is no one else you need to impress; set your own schedule, be responsible to yourself, and you'll find the way. Keep showing up with a sense of purpose and a will to improve and you can reach the summit.

Full Moon in Cancer
Sunday, December 23, 5:16 pm PST, 8:16 pm EST
The strong concerns about security of this lunation are intensified with aggressive Mars' close conjunction with the Cancer Moon. Emotional flare-ups and threats to safety can provoke fear, anger and squabbles with family members. Recognizing and accepting your vulnerability, though, allows a different approach, one that's warm, protective and caring. Staying calm and acting constructively can build trust and closeness. Expressing needs in a non-dramatic way will bring support, but taking direct action to ensure your wellbeing is even more powerful. You don't have to be brave to make progress now, so take responsibility for your feelings and act on them with maturity.

Venus in Sagittarius Sunday, December 30, 10:02 am PST, 1:02 pm EST
The love planet in adventurous Sagittarius tends to make the heart restless. Seeking new forms of pleasure in faraway places or among unfamiliar faces is likely now. Ongoing relationships require refreshing with different activities or attitudes to regain the sense of discovery that makes romance flourish. A hunger for experience can even stir cautious homebodies to leave their nests in pursuit of excitement. Going too far in the appreciation of people, ideas and objects could mar judgment, so be careful about overestimating their value.

Mars in Gemini
Monday, December 31, 8:02 am PST, 11:02 am EST
Retrograde Mars backs out of emotional Cancer to re-enter curious Gemini, providing some relief for those holding tightly to the past or unwilling to consider alternative paths to productivity. Stimulation counts more than safety now as we seek distractions from the drudgery of the daily grind. Shake things up a bit by exploring new methods to alter your routine and stimulate bright ideas.

Mercury in Aquarius Monday, January 7, 8:46 pm PST, 11:46 pm EST
Mercury begins a long stay in airy Aquarius where unconventional thinking opens the mind to a broader view of reality. Unfamiliar facets of perception reveal patterns that can put the pieces of life's puzzle together in more meaningful ways. Objective thinking makes it possible to detach from preconceived notions and fixed ideas that have limited choices in the past.

This New Moon in Sagittarius marks a break from tradition as the desire for change overcomes the desire to stick with comfortable old habits. Finding small ways to experiment reduces the pressure to make radical moves or get locked down in a futile pattern of resistance to the unfolding future. We are entering unfamiliar territory and the rewards of moving through uncharted waters are excitement, freedom and discovery.
