Hi yall I'm taking my grandkids, whose mother died in January, on an Alaska cruise in June, that leaves out of Vancouver. I booked a hostel for us to stay in and just got a notice that they won't allow the 17-yr-old to stay there. Any suggestions about a very reasonable clean hotel near Canada Place cruise terminal? Thanks It's only for 1 night and doesn't have to be fancy.

Today is Christmas, a day of gift giving and remembering the birth of a master teacher, Jesus, who was all about love. Many people in the world join together on Christmas to celebrate the birth of the one we refer to as Jesus the Christ – in whom the consciousness of divine identity was fully realized. For many of us, our family celebrations are a bit of holiday music and a lot of hustle and bustle. So, it's a good time to pause and remember the spirit of this holiday - to awaken, to "rebirth" the Christ Light in you, to remember that Jesus was not the great exception, but rather the great example. Ernest Holmes, founder of the community with which my community is associated, tells us: "Christmas is for remembrance. The love manifesting through our gifts to each other typifies the offering of Life, the givingness of Spirit to its creation. The hands of the Eternal are outstretched through our hands, and the heart of the infinite beats in the human breast. But the giver must give of him or herself, for "The gift without the giver is bare." It is not, then, in lavish gifts that we find true giving but in the sweet simplicity of remembrance, in the kindly thought, the tolerant mind and the gentle act ... if we are bringing our gifts to the altar of love, nothing less than the best will be acceptable, nothing less than all is enough. May the real spirit of Christmas - the giving of self to life enter and abide in you now and through all time." I would like to remind you how very brightly your light shines and contributes to making the world a little brighter and a bit more loving for myself and others. May your days be filled with all the joy and love that I feel in my heart every time I am in service in any way,everytime I enter the LTC Ashram and see all the love and light and growth being discussed here, as well as each time I encounter your beingness – be it in person, on a zoom call, or seeing a message from you. May your heart overflow with joy as you participate in whatever rituals you have planned around Christmas eve and Christmas day. May your light shine so brightly that there is no mistaking that the real spirit of Christmas is truly showing up as Joy to the World! Joy, BLISS, and Blessings to each of you on this day filled with love and light!

I was prompted by that still small voice within me to get into the Ashram and share my experience with Living the Course so that those of you who are not part of that community, or those who already are, could make a decision for YOU and either join or sign up for another year. I am a minister and have done years of work on myself. I have lived on this planet for 75 years, learned a lot and experienced a lot as well. One of my most fabulous experiences is the LTC community and all the love and trust, honesty and open-mindedness that exists in that space. In this season of gift giving, give yourself the gift of spending time with people who are like-minded, people who desire to raise the consciousness of this planet, people who desire for all people to realize that it is LOVE, JOY, and PEACE that are real and all the rest is how we are choosing to see something other than the Divine. In full disclosure, no one has asked me to do this and it might seem a bit too preach-y for some of you, AND, I am absolutely certain if you really desire to be the best you in 2024, that LTC is one path that works! I just wanted you to know that. BTW, if finances are an issue, email info@livingthecourse.com I suspect there is a way that you can finance it or get help because I know Mark and Aaron want everyone to be a part of this amazing 365 days of life lessons. Joy, BLISS, and Blessings to each of you!
