Susan...Yesterday a friend brought me a tiny "dreambox" with instructions. Write your dearest dream on a bit of paper, put it in the box, and the box by your bed. Every night before sleep, and on arising, hold the box and declare with all your heart that your dream will be realized. Such a nice way to practice affirmations (the more usual ways always make me feel sort of silly). Though somewhat uncomfortable with a lot of new age notions, I do think that "intent" has great power to influence reality. So I'm sending you a virtual dream box. If you decide to use it, remember you don't have to stick with lofty global hopes for world peace...a Cristmas day full of peace and happiness and fulfillment for your own good self is perfectly valid. I'll wish it for you, too, along with hugs and smiles.

Nancy
