Perhaps some of you have seen the children’s book called ‘Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’. In the book, this little boy has numerous upsets during his day from slipping on his skateboard when he got out of bed to not getting to sit beside the window in the car on the way to school. He concluded that this was definitely not a good day.
From our adult perspective, we can see that Alexander had lots of good things in his life-caring parents, a bed to sleep in, a car for transportation and many, many others. But there were bumps along the way and that is what he based his conclusion on for it being a bad day.
I have heard people talk about 2020 as being a rather ‘terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year’. And, frankly, many people have experienced things that are much worse than what Alexander did. From the pandemic to economic hardship to health problems and deaths to environmental disasters and more, it was a rough year in many ways.
And yet there were blessings and certainly opportunities to help us learn and grow along the way. I have definitely gained an appreciation for things I often took for granted.
Now we are beginning a new year and naturally we want it to be ‘a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful, very good year’!! Hopefully, external circumstances will support that. But much of it depends on our internal choices on how to move forward and how we choose to interpret and see things that happen.
May we all embrace the gifts of 2021 and do our part to create a very good year!
Blessings, Mary

Dear ones, my beloveds,
I am holding you in my heart, as I always do, as we enter the new year together. You are never alone, no matter what is happening in your lives. Your friends and helpers in the Divine Realm are ever near, assisting you in seen and unseen ways.
Old systems are crumbling, even as new ones are being created and emerging, like the Phoenix arising from the ashes. Look around you and within you and you will see this dynamic birthing and rebirthing happening everywhere.
Hello, good-bye, hello. That is the flow of the universe. That is the flow of life on earth and everywhere. It is like a river. Your choice is whether to let the current carry you or to resist and fight it.
You are co-creators of what is coming into being. You are not spectators. You are active agents of birth and change!! Your choice is whether to do it with a smile or a frown, fear or faith.
Ask for help. Ask for guidance. Ask for wisdom and discernment. It will be given to you in abundance! Ask and you will receive. You are loved beyond measure by your friends in the Unseen Realm. We walk beside you and love you every step of the way.
You are loved, dear ones! I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.
