So many people are asking the question "What will happen in 2012?" Oh course none of us really have the answer, though there is a great deal of prediction and speculation. This is an exciting, yet nerve wracking time. Change is happening rapidly and the old "Rank and File" here in the United States and in other countries as well, are trying desperately to hold onto the old way of business, as Americans and other nations are finally coming out of the LONG winters nap! 

The Occupy Wall Street movement has been instrumental in bringing awareness to the majority. Speaking out about issues facing the American Middle and lower class today. While we have been lulled into believing everything our government does for us is good for the majority, many have lost their jobs, their homes and their faith. While OUR government has helped line the pockets of the BIG Banks and Corporations and in turn their own pockets have gotten fatter!! 

Our government is too big and needs to fail along with the banks who have gotten this country into such a mess. Oh wait our government is failing! Congress can't seem to agree on ANYTHING and President Obama with all his promises has been ineffective. To add insult to an already insulted population, the long time plan to go into Iran on behalf of Israel is heating up, despite the fact that more than 70% of American's don't want to be at war with anyone and wants our troops home.

This is where we have a choice. Our people, our country, our planet are on the brink of collapse. Can we just sit in front of the TV watching American Idol and the Patriots? 

We are waking up. Waking up to the knowing we have been asleep for a long long time. During that time, Chemical and Energy companies have been allowed to poison our food supply, pollute our air and water, clear cut forests and destroy our environment. While the banks along with the IRS have stripped us of our hard earned money and our homes.

Despite all of this, I believe there is still hope. Hope, that there are enough individuals who are awake and more waking up every single day, to make the conscious choice to create change.  We had begun this journey of radical change in the 1960's, only to get too caught up in sex, drugs and rock and roll to follow the movement for positive change to the end. 

Once again we have the opportunity to create radical, positive lasting change. We are coming into an era never before seen by any of us, or even by any of our ancestors. As we move closer to December 21, 2012 we all watch with great anticipation and with possibly some fear.

Many indigenous cultures around the world believe we are at a crossroad and our future is teetering, just waiting, watching. How we chose may very well define our survival or our extinction. 

Will we wage war? Will we make peace? Will we change our habits to save the earth? To save ourselves? Will it all be in vain? 

Will December 21, 2012 be our last day? I like to think not. So than what, if anything will we change? Or will we continue to be led down a path of self destruction? It's all up to you. It's up to us. 

One of the Laws of the Universe is-what you think about expands. What are you thinking? 

I encourage you today to be mindful of your thoughts, deeds and actions. I encourage you to inspire others to take care of the earth, to lend a hand to someone in need. I encourage you to let your government know we are tired and we are not going to take it any more.  I encourage you to be a shining light of hope.

Together we can make a difference.

With Heartfelt Love,
