Ioanna's Christmas Message....

Treasured friends,
 

as we fast approach the festive Christmas period, I urge you to take a step back from the artificial trees, the shiny baubles, the rush to get he best gifts at the best price, the lure of the extended shopping hours and to pause and reflect on what Christmas truly means.

Irrespective of what religion or faith you may or may not follow, the Christmas message is about birthing faith, hope, miracles and love.

Some of us are lucky to be part of loving families and are able to feel safe, secure and content but sadly there are many of us for a multitude of reasons that do not experience this reality.

For many of us we may be estranged from family, we may have family that lives overseas, we may have family members in prison, we may still be searching for our birth family, we may be in blended families or we may have lost family members that have passed into the spirit world.

I recently had the pleasure of having my parents and beloved aunty staying with me from interstate; as i reconnected and shared in childhood memories I was struck with the realisation that the greatest gift we can give anyone - simply is time.  Your time, your love and your ears as you truly listen to what they have to say.
 

So this Christmas make time to listen, to be with your friends, your family or whomever you choose to celebrate with.  If you know someone is alone, reach out and invite them to share with you but please don't be offended if they chose not to participate - often it is easier for them to close the door and emerge after Christmas.

For those that are grieving at Christmas, perhaps it is your first Christmas without your loved one present, take the time to light a candle and send a loving thought to those that can no longer be physically present with you.  Send them a prayer or special message in your thoughts and know that they will receive your love. 

With much love,
