If you bought Archangel Book of Days but haven't started reading it yet, this Sunday would be the ideal time to begin. The messages of daily inspiration start on Sunday, so why not read the first one on the first Sunday of a new year?! If you haven't purchased the book yet, this would be a great time to do so and move through this year with an angel message every day. If you're local, we still have a few signed copies to sell. If not, you can order from Amazon or other online booksellers. Those who buy the e-book version also get the bonus of 14 of Diana’s angelic art pieces inside.

Here’s the book description:

“In the quiet of the heart and the wonder of the soul, the divine voice whispers pure love and light for all to hear. This book shares inspiration, hope, and blessings for those times when the chaos of the world or concerns closer to home seem to silence or dampen that eternal divine song. Archangel Book of Days brings messages of love, wisdom, empowerment, grace, inspiration, and blessing from the seven primary archangels for each day throughout the year. The latter portion of the book provides meditations, invocations, activities, and techniques for connecting more fully to each of these seven archangels: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel, Chamuel, and Zadkiel.”

Looking forward 2025

within the midst of December’s darkness
behind the shuttered fastened door
the remnants of a closet wardrobe
clothes tried on, worn and ignored

memories of friends, come and gone
and incidents throughout the months
filtered through our tinted lenses
and foggy now what was clear once

vivid reminders of sadness and joys
closing the door on ups and downs
let not our losses turn to rust
but burst forth into new compounds

time for outreach to family and friends
perhaps left in negligence or in rush
rekindle the bonds for future connections
before smoldering flame fades to blush

leave behind the last 12 months
enter a new year with childlike mind
become the beacon meant to shine
and tighten the threads that intertwine

for if days ahead challenge our grit
kindness communities can be our grace
and in mirroring our own reflections
find humanity in each other’s face

let us be the lights of compassion
for those alike and on differing tracks
seek in shadows a common accord
begin repair with benevolent acts

If you can, remember to pause amid the holiday preparations, find a moment of stillness, and give yourself a space of grace. In this world that too often seems dark, your light matters. Your voice, your heart, and your beautiful spirit mean more than all presents under all the trees across the whole planet. Be as gentle with yourself as you are with those around you. Every soul needs solace sometimes. Every heart requires love and kindness. Know beyond a doubt that you are dearly loved.

From our hearts and homes to you and yours, we wish you blessings at Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and throughout the holiday season. —Diana and Drew

Winter Wishes

A whisper of snowflakes,
Moonlight echoing across the sleeping trees,
Clouds caressing the horizon,
Quiet, nameless wonders revealing themselves
As we exhale our sorrows into winter's chill air
And embrace the stillness.

©️ 2024 L. Diana Henderson

May harmony and peace flow gently to you tonight. May love pour its graces to you and through you during this Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, and holiday season.

At Thanksgiving and always, we wish you grace and harmony. 💛

Hank Fisher's novel *Presumption* is not your typical Western. (Think Larry McMurtry more than your usual classic Western.) Hank's writing is beautiful, and this book is full of heart. This compelling novel gives you a deeper look at the Old West through the eyes of a foreigner who carries with him the threads of his ancestry and the gifts of his spirit. For those who love romance, Presumption definitely offers a story that will entice your senses and pull at your heartstrings. This novel may even imprint a better understanding of your own spiritual journey. I love it and just gave it this five-star review!

Realization Press is pleased to present our latest release, Marbles in a Fishbowl, by Kathy Lamsargis. Anyone who reads this jewel of a book is likely to love it. Order your copy of this beautifully written book today from online sellers.

Grandparents hold the keys to the mysteries of the past. They carry the treasures of stories and times long gone, of secrets and family histories. Weekend visits and summers on the Mississippi with their grandparents, Jane and Roy Bode, shaped the lives of Kathy and Karen. They uncovered surprises, learned to fish and bake, and created memories that would sustain them for a lifetime. *Marbles in a Fishbowl* invites readers to journey through time and experience the vivid moments of a bygone era against the rich backdrop of the great river. Grandchildren rarely get a chance to explore the early lives of their grandparents; this book pays homage to Roy and Jane Bode as people and as children.

*Marbles in a Fishbowl* offers many gems of wisdom and speaks to children and their parents and grandparents. In the back pages, the author shares family recipes and study questions for use with children so readers may build their own memories and come away with a deeper understanding. A profound, abiding love graces the pages of this book, leaving readers with a wistful sense of longing for days on the river with grandparents whose very presence enriches the lives of their descendants.

new year new poem

watching, another year has stunned;
is the fabric of our world
unraveling, coming undone?
or maybe it’s just unfurled

is some of what we’ve come to expect
not to be trusted, not fully true,
CG’d for some cinematic effect
fudged from another or one-sided view?

and with what truths can we freely align
on a globe wracked and torn and strife-split apart
blindly we choose perception only from mind
with only a token, fleeting reference to heart

do not turn away in another direction
from what we ignore in front of our eyes
the actual vision ought to rely
on a more universal, nuanced connection

examine with breadth and better hindsight
listen with open hearts and less biased ears
rekindle, recapture your deep shining light
courageously face your shadowy fears

ignite a kindness chain reaction
spread the joy of warm-hearted compassion
offer someone needy a hand for support
then safely convey this traveler to port

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to one and all!

May all hearts know sweetest peace;
May every soul’s troubles cease;
May gentler days lie ahead;
May kindness upon all spread.
