Winter
"In blankets of snow,
The world takes on a glow
Of a time of the seasons
With ev’ry good reason
To take out your skis
Swoop down mountains with ease,
Or find a froz’ lake
And skate ‘til you break,
From exhaustion, or freeze,
Or, God forbid, start to sneeze.
But, after your play,
There is more to the day,
‘Cause then everyone gathers
For a little thereof after.
So you take off your boots,
Settle down with the group,
Build a fire with some logs,
And drink plenty of grog.” JM
Christmas Essence
“The rejoicing of Christmas
Is majestic and spiritual,
No boundaries, no barriers,
Just caring and ritual,
And that feeling of oneness,
Which evolves from it all,
Is that of its essence up above,
O’ so tall:
Celebrate unto others,
Thy friend, family and stranger,
In brother’ hood and fellow love,
As though then by that Manger.” JM
Awards & Rewards
Awards are offered by the universe and rewards offered by the Divine.
Bet on Yourself
I have often thought that, when we have faith and act with our natural human courage and instinct, we are taking a chance on betting on ourselves and our talents. One who frustrates this natural instinct, by refusing to act courageously, and creatively bet on himself, is one who could be a candidate for fulfilling this natural need in other, less desirable ways, like gambling tables... Faith and courage are natural instincts and one feels a need to express them in one way or another. Let's bet on something, so why not ourselves!
Holiday Ingredients
"Laughing Holiday Throngs,
Loving Holiday Mirth,
Exuberant Holiday Song,
Bring Holiday Togetherness on Earth!" JM
Power
True power is the ability to motivate, love, encourage, and help people recognize who they are.
Roaring Christmas
"Lions have a mouth like a grin
And a throat like a bin,
And they let out such noise,
That you really take poise,
‘Cause at first you just think,
That the world’s ‘bout to sink,
But then you think, WOW,
What a grown up MEOW.
Then you simply realize
That all Lions take pride,
And it’s their funny way
Of putting on display.
But, aside from all that,
Lions are merely just cats,
Just standing around,
Making overgrown sounds,
Which if thought of just right,
Could be their fun delight,
At their extroverted uniqueness
Of wishing all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!” JM
Intuition Listening
The best way to open your intuition is to listen to it, and heed the messages! I have paid for years when I did not heed my intuition messages. It is worth the listening.
Images & Pictures
The images you hold of the past often put limits on the future you are envisioning for yourself. These past pictures hold you back from manifesting your greater potential. Let go of pictures of your past that do not support the new pictures of success and abundance you are creating.
Inspiration & Renewed Enthusiasm
Surrounding yourself with inspiration and a constant and a renewed enthusiam is a road to success. Then bond and commit to success and let it take you wherever it takes you!
Majestic Enlightenment
There is little question that the simple personal power in humming clears the palate, as it were, and opens all doors to a personal and positive energy. Listening to voices joined in chorus, whether trained voices or not, has another primal energy force. It joins the community of fellowman in a community of common values and goals. It is not to be underestimated what this does for the individual, as well as all participants, in joining each into one harmonious party. It becomes immediately clear that singing touches the deepest soul of the universe, while it also caresses and embraces its life. This singing when combined with the heavenliness of exceptional vocal beauty can often further radiate a majestic enlightenment.
Advent to Epiphany & More
As we know, the meaning of Advent is 'in preparation' and Epiphany is the day Jesus was 'revealed' and 'manifested' to the Three Wise Men and to the world. I have preoccupied myself with the theme of "Advent to Epiphany" for some time, and, in my adoration of Christmas, I have sought out delicious, often lesser known, song repertoire, which, during my world travels, I have included into some of my themed recitals. I find the international public response, whether in Vienna, Brescia, Nice or Düsseldorf..., to be enthusiastic interest in hearing wonderful works from various composers and poets, often having won fame for other creations of theirs. Some countries of our Western World observe "Advent to Epiphany" on different dates, but the love and spiritual devotion is, none-the-less, similar and a wonderful basis for lifting barriers to universal and communal celebration. I have recently put together a CD recording of the 'grace and poesy' of these various works and more, to be forthcoming soon. I like to think my themed recitals also add to bringing us all universally together.
Practice Without Pressure
The technique of "shadow boxing," or "practice without pressure" is so simple, and the results so striking, that some are inclined to associate it with a sort of magic. Needless-to-say, the performance quality result is worth the relaxed effort.
Diva Territory
"Utmost territorially and quite gloriously,
Divas command their territory quite notoriously.
With colorful leadership and confident flare,
Divas offer an exemplary debonair,
And, though not intending to annoy,
Divas emit confidence as a ploy,
Inspiring another to his personal worth,
Not to emulate some other's impersonal girth." Jane Marsh
Hope
“As a Goal for the Soul,
To motivate and to conquer,
Hope is like Dope,
To better see ourselves stronger;
It is not that we can’t,
Just that we don’t understand
That the obstacles help us
Stay on track in command;
And some lessons are learned,
Through the difficult fracas,
Most noteworthy are they,
That they really do take us
To a personal freedom
Ourselves to win steely,
To achieve our Goals cleanly,
Completely and freely." Jane Marsh
Power of the Voice
Talking brings people together, but singing touches the soul of the universe.
Mountain-Climbing Over Molehills
It has been said that, "Mountain-climbing over molehills is the greatest cause of ulcers." Not a bad concept and worth thought.
