Diamond Wind

Winter diamonds dance the snow,
Cold wind blowing letting us know,
Winter is here, beckoning beauty,
Whispering gusts bring quiet solitude,
Warm inside we glow,
Previous wonderment burning brightly,
Loving memories calming,
Marching towards Christmas,
Old love and new,
Sharing,
That special time of year,
When all is good,
And all is forgiven.

In the Power you have
To control your own life,

Believe in the strength
That you have deep inside,
And your faith will help
Show you the way,
Believe in tomorrow
And what it will bring,
Let a hopeful heart
Carry you through,
For things will work out
If you trust and believe -
There's no limit
To what You can do!

Scientific Remote Viewing Affirmation
I am a spiritual being. Because I am a spiritual being, I am able to perceive beyond all boundaries of time and space. My consciousness is ever present with all that is, with all that ever was, and with all that ever will be. It is in my nature, as a human, to be able to perceive, and thus to know, all that there is to know. Everwhere, at all times, I seek to learn, and thus to evolve. To further my own personal growth, and to assist others in their growth, I direct my attention to a chosen point of existence. I observe what is there. I study it carefully. I record what I find.

Full moon winter light,
Crystal circles beaming,

Entwining us together,
Swirling one with nature,
