My Dear Reader,
This is my first day home after spending a week at a Monastery. I was in San Francisco at a wonderful and serene place called Mercy Center. I felt a few days of quiet contemplation and prayer were the best way to ring in the New Year. The funny thing is, that I wasn't the only one to feel this way. After a bit of solitude, I met several others there and wonderful conversations flowed about the general experiences of confusion and frustration that are effecting many of us at this time. It seems that many Spiritual people are sensing a heaviness or darkness, not only in their own lives, but in society as a whole.
I must tell you, dear reader, that the clarity and joy that I experienced, as I stepped out of the world for a little bit and focused on my own illumination, is indescribable. I felt and still feel as if I were falling in love! What a joyous rush and I am blessed to get to experience it again and again. Know that the MOST important thing you can do during this time of challenge is to deepen your experience of the divine. It is the only thing that remains as this world transitions from one phase to another.
Many Blessings,
~Andrea

Greetings to you. I understand and I am glad that you were able to nurture your internal calm. Solitude takes on a different kind of meaning when we search for the divine. Each of us has the divine within. I am glad that your awareness of the divine has been effective. We, all of us live in a complex world, made more so by others with vanities and personal issues that interfere all that is good.
I wish you many rich blessings, if time permits, perhaps you would like to read some of these thoughts, you see, I believe in miracles too.
