Here is a new prayer that I've written. I hope it helps you to "flow" freely with life by letting go of your need to control life. The flow of the Universe is natural and life-affirming I am an essential part of the universal flow I free myself to flow forward in every positive way I free myself of all self-imposed constraints I let go of all demands, expectations and assumptions And I flow with the Universe in my rightful place And I flow with love, peace and purpose And all is as it should be, all is well. Amen.

Hope everyone has a very Blessed Christmas and Holiday Season. Remember to let go of expectations. Accept each moment and every person as they are by not demanding that they be as you want them to be. If you accept the moment as it is you will find joy in it. If you accept others as they are, you will find beauty in them. And if you accept yourself as you are you will find joy, beauty and complete peace!

Or "I'm American,” “I'm Iranian." Or "I'm Democrat,” “I'm R epublican."—“Why can’t we all just get along.” The list could go on an...
