If Only For a Day

I love sharing positive messages and images. I am so connected to many spirits whom I have never met in person. I am thankful to have had such experiences. It’s because of this I have decided to open my home to my neighbors this holiday season. I will hand deliver invitation inviting them to share hot, apple cider, coffee, or wine along with gingerbread cookies with me. I want a different life with more positive human connection.

There was a time when I knew the first names of all my neighbors. That was a time with very limited electronics, especially computers. I sincerely believe that by connecting with my neighbors, this is my way of making my corner of the world better, more compassionate and kinder, if only for a day.
