Christmas is almost upon us again. I can help but feel excited, hopeful, nostalgic and grateful that a new year is about to begin. And that is incredible! The holiday season is such a special time, a new opportunity in life to start over, to work toward our dreams and let our light shine.
I was recently reminded by Jane Taylor words on ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’... how beautiful the creations of this world are- even the stars in the sky are made for us. We’re not alone in life.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon, then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark, how could he see where to go, If you did not twinkle so?
In the dark blue sky you keep, Often through my curtains peep for you never shut your eye, till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark, though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
- Jane Taylor.
