My beloved husband and I, who never go out on New Year's Eve, decided this year would be different and in light of my new focus on joy, I decided to join him in a Kirtan that ran from 9pm to beyond midnight.  Kirtan is the chanting to the divine using sanskrit which is an ancient language which carries very high frequencies.  We were sharing energy with Grandfather Martin from the Hoppi and it was an honor to share space with him as he could have chosen to be anywhere that night.

At one point the room had to of had over 100 people in attendance chanting in unison to the divine.  To be bathed in the joyous energy of unison was something I truly desire every one to experience.  The joy of being in the moment and letting go of thoughts of "Am I in key?", "people will think....." and so on.  A true experience of letting the personality fall away and allow the true aspect of self to come to the surface.  Allowing the body to move to the energies of the chants that are produced in the body and then reverberated by the other people in the room was intoxicating. 

A smile on just about everyone's face was abound in the room, one chant after the other for three hours and then the new year come to be and cries of joy and laughter, hugs and kisses were shared by all.  It was truly the best New Year's Eve party I have ever attended and was so glad to have taken part.

I learned that no one really gives a hoot about what the other people are doing much less me and how freeing that is.  The diversity of the golden age is here anchored in the life experience where everyone can be themselves and still be respected!

I wish each and everyone of you a joyous 2012 and beyond, the promise of a new year, a clean slate, a new creation, your creation.  What will it be?  Is this your year to claim yourself?  The truth being, we all have that opportunity each day of the year, yet on this planet we play with the concept of time and calendars so why not enjoy the focus and create something totally different this year for yourself!
