This is the time of year we look forward to being with friends and family, but in this second year of Covid, many of our reunions have yet to materialize. It’s also the time of year some of us feel the longing and loss of loved ones who are no longer with us. On the bright side, because of what we've collectively been through, I think we’ve come to know ourselves better, and we’re stronger than we were before this virus.
We've separated the things that matter from the ones that shouldn't have counted in the first place.
Traditional holidays are fun, but this year, instead of fixing or buying a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, a dear friend and I decided to satisfy our joint cravings for Chinese food by placing a curbside order at PF Chang’s. Then we divvied up the contents of the little, white takeout boxes, drank craft beer, and watched our favorite movies on TV. It was one of the best Christmases I’ve had in a longtime.
Regardless of how you spent your holidays, I hope they were filled with love and gratitude, and if you believe in making New Year's resolutions, you might take a page from my friend, Debra Shriver.
"I value peace and joy among all things, though we don’t always get it. Happiness is a third goal. Then laughter. Have you ever made your top ten? I decided to write it down. Like a grocery list. I always have curiosity, it’s like a cupboard staple. I want my joy to be abundant. I want it the way people spread butter on toast, not like a thread of saffron that flavors my rice."
Well said, Debra! What if we all welcome this new year with curiosity, and we spread everything with a loving coat of joy and laughter? And like my friend, Lee Moczygemba, who died this week at age 97, said to me not long ago, "Enthusiasm is so important. It's one of the most priceless gifts God gives us." Let’s also welcome this new year with enthusiasm, because we never know what's around the next corner.
I hope you all know how much you mean to me. You're the reason I'm working so hard on my manuscript. Thank you for reading my blog, for being such great friends, for checking on me in my absence, and for waiting patiently for me to resume blogging full-time. I’m still editing my memoir, but I'll see you again SOON. In the meantime, here’s someone special I’d like you to meet: Lee Peterson Baker.
Lee Baker is a writer, a curious, enthusiastic woman of a certain age, who's played a key role in how I’ve shaped my book. This is her first blog on 1010ParkPlace. Please stop by and show her some love!
Blessings to all of you, sweet friends, and may this new year be full of health and love and the promise of wondrous things to come.
A very happy new year to you my friend!

Dear Friends,
I am wishing you all a very Happy New Year filled with miracles, love, and laughter. The last two years have been tumultuous, isolating, and difficult for so many. My New Year’s message is to give you some thoughts that may illuminate and bring some joy in the upcoming year:
1. Realign and unify with your soul. Remind yourself that you are a soul occupying a physical body. Your journey is to help awaken you and remember who you really are, your deep spiritual greatness. Take time to go inward and find presence, the only place where Source can connect with you.
2. Connect with your heart more and your mind less. We can feel the energy of another’s sincerely and heartfelt connection. But often we speak from our mind, and we allow judgment to cloud our communication. If love is the sunshine, judgment is the cloud that obscures it.
3. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Others, and especially people who are difficult or people we consider enemies, are mirrors to ourselves. When we practice kindness, we are honoring the spirit in others, as well as honoring the spirit in ourselves.
4. Be willing to laugh at ourselves. In my family, we laugh a lot, especially at our own antics, missteps, and sometimes ridiculous behaviors. Laughter lightens the journey and is good for the soul. Laughter is also contagious, so laugh often.
5. Start each day with gratitude. Be grateful for all you have instead of lamenting what you don’t have. Gratitude opens our heart and connects us with the Divine. Gratitude in the morning sets the tone for the whole day.
6. Expect miracles and synchronicity. When we are open to the new and can give up the past ideas of what is possible, amazing people, situations, and opportunities show up miraculously. It has happened so many times in my life that I am no longer even surprised—just very grateful. The more we are awake to synchronicity, the more it occurs in our lives.
7. Let go of resistance and defenses. They are strategies of the ego, and they block love. Let yourself go with the flow and trust in the unknown. Give up trying to make things happen, resist what your fear, and, instead, be at peace.
8. Love is the power that sustains all life. It is powerful enough to sustain you. Relax and trust in the immense power of love. Your needs will be met. Trust in that.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Miracles, Love, and Laughter,
Danna Beal
