Thank you Rebbie for choosing this theme today.

I feel the symbolism of the Christ Child is also a reminder that the child comes complete with all he or she needs to make their journey on earth. their easy and natural access to the realms of imagination and joy and energy are their birthright. I was fortunate enough to have my magical side nurtured by my parents, although schooling and society smothered it for a long long time. I have reverted to my connection to Sprit and thank my parents for making this path clear for me as I have done for my son. At 14 he is a powerful being: sure of his gifts and talents, beautiful in nature, well-balanced and incredibly wise to live with. How we impoverish ourselves by smothering the divine magical nature of the children of the world and rob them of the gifts they could unfold for not only their own joy and sustenance but for the betterment of the planet. I do believe that the strength of the souls now manifesting is such that repression will not be an option for them. Blessing, Peace and Joy to all.

Hi Rebbie
And a Happy Christmas to you as well. As Louise stated

You can't help feel you have been cheated and you don't even want to give an opinion on anything. Very tired of the criticizing.

I feel the exact same way. You get rather drained living this way.

Thanks for this important topic. I, too, remember being labelled "different" as a child,because of my spiritual experiences, which I shared with friends, so I learned to hide who I was and what I really thought. Only with my mom and my Bubbie (grandma) did I show who I was–at least some.
AND NOW I no longer hide who I am.
Wish I could have been where I am (openly spiritual) when our daughters were young…now living in the present, enjoying each day, especially our gradson who is a very spiritual being!

I am now 60 and grew up mostly in the upper midwest where I was free to roam woods and field unattended from an early age.Nature was my main teacher and it didn't take too long for me to realize that most adults didn't know much and were not to be trusted very far.They didn't even seem to understand that creatures had 'feelings'.So if anyone tried to shame or intimidate me into complience when my inner self was refusing strongly, I wasted no time removing myself, and none questioning if there was 'something wrong with me'.I was quiet and shy, creative and resourceful, and just knew Pipi Longstocking was my inner twin.Later, as young womanhood beckoned, Rima, from Green Mansions, personafied my Inner Magical Being. My main struggle has always been,what am I doing here?The culture at large hasn't a clue so they just project onto me what they will and I either accept or reject it, like a roll they want me to play. Playing out the scripts of others has been the most difficult.But now I'm getting to better scripts because as we age, we're given more leeway to be excentric and joyful for no particular reason, so I edit the scripts. And there's nothing anybody else can do about it! We'll make astounding Grandparents and Elders.
A wonderful, blessed holiday season to all, and let hope and good will cover the world like a blanket of new fallen snow, all pristine and sparkly.

Happy Holidays to you Rebbie!
I am so Happy and grateful now that I am following my dreams and goals and All is well!

I too, was told when I was a child that I was "different" or "crazy". Now I realize that, that is a good thing. I'd much rather BE a Rhino than a cow!

Thank you Rebbie for your heartfelt good wishes. Having reached my 6oth birthday a few weeks ago. I bask in the warmth of the beautiful relationship I have forged with my beautiful 19 year old daughter, and am filled with gratitude that I had the foresight and wisdom, to treat her with loving respect from the moment she was born. Rather than copying the misguided actions of my own parents and family. Though I have moved far in learning to love and accept myself, the wounds of childhood still come to visit. sometimes my heart bleeds for those children who are, even in this day and age being abused in various ways by misguided adults.
How bitter sweet is this life we lead.

Hello Rebbie, Thank you for the Holiday Greetings, and thank you especially for the reminder of how wonderful children really are. As a piano teacher for over 40 years, as well as an almost full-time volunteer at an elementary school for the last 12 years, I am very aware of the beautiful spirit each child brings to Earth, as well as their willingness to share it with us IF we are receptive. If we truly respect and value children, they know it instantly. The greatest gift we can give to a child is the care and respect necessary to allow their sacred sense of Self to remain as long as possible. It doesn't take much to wound their souls -harsh words, anger, criticism – these are under the control of the adults who often live with them, and sometimes teach them. We need to realize that children can be guided wisely, not harshly. They then have a chance to thrive instead of retreat. If our world is to become more civilized, it will depend on this.
