December 2020 is gifting us with the potential to let go and open to our Divine Potential. It is preparing us for 2021 and our possible future.
On a spiritual note, the frequencies of The Divine Mother are all around us and if we pay attention, get quiet and open to Her, we can absorb the highest frequencies of Love and Wisdom that have entered our planet.
Our lives are the sum total of the moments we experience and savor, so let us become especially available to receiving these downloads.

This Thursday begins the Holiday of Hanukkah. For those of you who do not know what this Holiday symbolizes, here is the meaning.
Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods like potato latkes (pancakes) and donuts.
In Jewish mysticism, the number eight represents pure potentiality, transcendence, infinity. During Hanukkah we light eight candles. We enter into a time of miracles, a time of potentiality, a time of pure transcendence, a time of infinity.
In the second century BCE, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian Greeks), who tried to force the people of Israel to accept Greek culture and their beliefs. Against all odds, a small band of faithful Jews, led by Judah the Maccabee, defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G-d.
When they sought to light the Temple's Menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously, they lit the menorah and the one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity.
So, at this time we celebrate the reemergence of light in times of darkness. On each of the eight nights (even if you do not normally celebrate Hannukah), light a candle and set your intention to be the Light and to shine brightly in the world.
Bringing light to the darkness created by Covid.
Bringing light to the darkness of our climate crisis.
Bringing light to the darkness of racial and religious injustice and intolerance.
Bringing light to the darkness of any prejudice.
Bring light to the sorrow of having lost a loved one.
Let us commit to shining our light throughout the year.
Many Blessings,
Barbara
