In fact, days before Christmas I updated my Facebook and Twitter with this:

Your best gift to the world is YOU! …during this fast paced season of giving and always. YOU are the shining star. Give the gift of YOU!

Know what I love most about this gift?  It’s perfect, readily available, easily accessible, and it never stops giving.  If you’re breathing, you’re giving.  You being here, alive on this planet right here, right now is the greatest gift.

Do you know the miracle of the Gift of You?

To give the Gift of YOU, to give the gift of your Brilliance to everything…in everything you do is the most amazingly magnificent gift anyone could ever hope to receive!

Imagine what would happen if we gave our attention to the magic in this idea.

When we recognize our Brilliance, the shining star we are each born to be…we become (and we already are) our most heavenly gift to the world.

Being conscious of our Gift and how we share it is yet another gift…to others, as well as to ourselves.

Within the Gift of You there are many glorious Nuggets of Brilliance that make up the whole.

It feels good to share the Brilliance of who we are freely and deliberately.  From this space we are aligned with the Essence that is our most Divine Self and our gifts are even more magnificent!

What are Your Nuggets of Brilliance?

We’ve all got many!  I’d love to hear at least 3 favorites that you love to give others…and if you’re in a giving mood and more than 3 flow forth…wahoo, it’s a celebration!!

I’ll start…

My favorite gifts to give others are:

My JOY (and my irresistible desire to help others find theirs)

My Love

My Ability to Listen with my Heart

My Loving Guidance & Inspired Perspective

My Reflection of Your Brilliance  (I see the JOY of Brilliance in each of you and give the gift of reflecting it back to you so that you can see yourself through J.O.B. eyes!)

It’s Your Turn~

Let’s here it Brilliant Beings!!  Share the Gift of YOU with the world…deliberately, on purpose…here…now.

We’re all ready to receive the Gift of YOU with deep appreciation and love.

Join in…share the Gift of YOU with us now…

My Marley (Ashki)

This movie touched me on so many levels I don’t know where to begin…so we’ll start with the pooch.  Marley’s character, like many canine companions that grace our lives, is all about being in the moment and doing what comes naturally…and if that means eating an entire  50 lb. bag of kibble in one sitting or eating the family sofa for a snack, well then that’s what it means.  Marley is hopelessly upbeat, full of energy and charged with enough love to light New York city.  He’s endearing; you can’t help but love him…even if he can destroy an entire garage in a matter of minutes.  Marley gets into our hearts and grabs hold so tight we’re not sure we’ll be able to breathe unless he’s right there by our sides.  Marley is the best and the worst of any dog you’ve ever met.  Marley is pure love.  Marley lives without regret.  Marley, while being just slightly unorthodox in his ways, teaches us lessons that will stay with us for lifetimes.

John (Owen Wilson) and Jenny (Jennifer Anniston) are a newly married couple making their way in the world.  They’re both writers.  Jenny, a well known columnist and John, a self-proclaimed reporter.  They move to Florida from Michigan to be with the sun and to start their new life together.  John and Jenny get jobs…Jenny gets newspaper space large enough that it could wallpaper an entire room in one issue while John gets less than a quarter column buried deep inside the paper to report stories that you have to wonder if anyone cares about.  The story continues to unfold when “Discount Puppy”, Marley comes into their lives.

From here forward we witness John and Jenny’s growth as human beings.  We see them begin to recognize what matters to each of them, and we see that what they thought mattered sometimes really doesn’t.  We learn that holding on to an old dream, believing it’s still important, when realized can translate to something so stale and old we wonder why we ever dreamed it in the first place.  We see that children add an element to a couple’s existence that is both the greatest miracle and the greatest challenge they’ll ever face.  (Don’t I know that one!)  We see that humor heals many wounds and that love transcends the darkest of times.

Marley and Me touches the soul.  Deeply.  It engages your heart and tickles you silly.  It plays with your thoughts and questions your choices.  Marley and Me mixes your emotions like taffy being pulled…stretching and turning between immense joy and deep sadness…all of it good, sweet and colorful.

If ever you’ve experienced a canine friend relationship that rivals any other relationship in your life in its depth of emotion and love, then Marley and Me will touch you beyond belief.  Go see it.  Bring someone you love.  (Too bad they don’t allow dogs at the theater…although upon considering this further it’s really not a good plan as this may give your favorite pooch some behavioral issues and ideas that are better left on the movie screen!)  Bring some tissue.  Yes, lots of crying along with the laughing; I just want you to be prepared.  Enjoy the movie.  …and then go home and give your Marley the biggest Hug of Love ever!!

There is a deep underlying energy of Christmas that enfolds all cultures and religious presentations.

It is the energy of an opening heart, seeking to gift life with Essence.

This is the silent voice of Life, seeking expression, in spite of appearances: consumerism, short tempers, fear based choices, abuse, misuse of power and money, disrespect of all life….

It is the heart’s recognition and the Soul’s call to Oneness, way beyond what we consciously think the word, Oneness means.

Examine your world – partner, children, parents, siblings, neighbors etc…..have you made room in your heart to include them in your life? Just by acknowledging their presence or their “differences”, this makes room in you for gifting your attention, silently or obviously.

Attention is a primal need for all human beings. We cannot survive without attention and we cannot thrive without attention, thus we see many versions of an “invisible human” seeking attention in the only way they know how to get it.

Deepak Chopra made a call earlier in this year of 2008, to enroll 100 million in a commitment to Non-Violence. This is a conscious invitation to join in this silent energy of Christmas. This is an initiating factor to manage our thinking, our beliefs, our attention and intention that influences our behavior and our actions, from the inside out.

Let us use this Energy of Christmas to openly accept our heart and Soul’s call and dedication to Oneness, life with conscious recognition that all life matters – all life is breathing and living in and from the same Oneness, no matter what we call it.

This is what the word Aloha means: ALO – universal space, HA – breath. We all share the same breath.

We all share the same breath; we all share one home, our Earth Home. We all share the elements of fire, earth air and water as vital components of life, without consciously recognizing or understanding this.

Our heart and Soul’s know this.

Now it is time for us to live this as a lifestyle, on a daily basis. Give our attention to gratitude and appreciation of all that sustains Life beyond what we think we know, beyond our illusions and exclusions through economics, politics, religion, race, color, creeds, sexual preferences, etc.

Let us honor Life, today, on this Eve of what many know as Christmas Eve, and be in gratitude for all life, be in gratitude for this magnificent Earth Home, be in gratitude for our breath, so we can be fully present
in Life.

Let us commit to Non-Violence by committing to live the Energy of Christmas, 365 days a year, as if our Life depended on it, because it does.

We do not have to have money, we do not have to shop, we do not have to fight the traffic, we do not even need to know the recipient – we just have to wake up and give from our heart what we were given when we took our first breath, Life through Oneness.

Your Presence and attention is a gift to Life,
your smile is invaluable…..
and it is FREE.
