We will be choosing a CONTEST winner by 15 January. We have received a few good possibilities! Looking for a quote to use for each Expansion Encounter throughout the year.... so let's hear something that rhymes with 2001! You'll get your very own page at my site, which will be shared in the February issue of Expansion Encounters! (Limit to send: 5 phrases.) Email to Life Now

"To know my writing is to know me." In the Midwest USA, we are experiencing the sparkle offered by over two foot of snow with a very crisp opportunity to be outdoors to enjoy it fully. (Temp for past 30 days has hit no higher than 18*, averaging about 9* as our high.)
Tis the beginning of the new millennium to some and entering its second year for others. Whenever it is for you, it is NOW - and our responsibility and fulfillment is to enjoy every moment to the fullest!HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Share a Miracle
"Oh! Something very special just happened! How can I explain it so that others will understand?"
To share a miracle with others, repetition of the techniques described here will bring it to surface more quickly and easily through practice.
As we observe what we desire to share, we can see it in our mind's eye. We can listen for its message. As we continue to view it in our mind, we begin to "see" the inspiration it offers.
We can then let the message flow freely from our mouth or with our fingers, with pen in hand or onto our word processor. After we allow the imaging to bloom to its full fruit, we can let the thoughts flow with no editing. We can later go back and prune and clarify.
When doing this verbally with someone, it is good to let them know in the beginning that we are free flowing and learning something for ourselves in the process. As we thank them for listening, the communication begins. Once we have shared our miracle, we can ask if there are areas that need clarification.
If the other person does not agree with our concept, that is okay. We do not have to defend. We may ask them questions to find out their beliefs about the subject. We can encourage them to share their viewpoint. Somewhere along the path, we discover an area of agreement, maybe just put in different terminology. We can then discuss this area further. With this type of discussion, we are expanding our concept as well as learning more about how to communicate with others.
Others who share meditation experiences, their interpretation and feelings as the afterglow, are sharing their understanding by using their symbolism of the happening. This gives us occasion to interpret their experience into our understanding. We may receive an, "Aha!" in our lives from their implied interpretation. As a result, we grasp that segment and it blends as a part of our universe. The deeper the passion with the experience, the more meaning it holds in our lives.

2001 - What does it mean?
As we step into the new year, we offer our gratitude and move our thoughts ahead to what heights we desire to attain through the upcoming year. We create, in our mind, a
Design
Design brings fantasy
Seeing the image
Dreaming the ideal
Is it a home
Or a car
Or maybe attire
We image a castle
Fantasize a Corvette
Dress at the top of fashion
Is it being amiable
Or sharing with others
Or maybe just Being
Or maybe offering Love
Seeing the goodness
Dreaming the Oneness
Design our lives
See the image
Dream the ideal.
