Greetings! ThresholdWorld Fam, I love how  Hanukkah  (which means dedication in Hebrew) is celebrated with eight nights of reciting blessings and lighting the menorah. Then about two weeks later the action of giving is celebrated with multicolored lights, decor, the birth the Jesus Christ and the message of love as a light to the world. The very day after is Kwanzaa . An African American and Pan African holiday celebrating family, community and culture. The Seven Principals, Nguzo Saba are celebrated by lighting a candle each day which has a specific meaning.

Happy Holidays! These events may not be televised but they will be live. There may be drummers drumming yet no pipers piping. Some ladies may be dancing but forget the other stuff.

The branch will be collecting books for their Holiday Book Driv...

If every time we speak creation occurs, what happens when we manifest the life we desire? Happy December 2018. Life itself is an amazing gift from creation. Our lives are filled with ideas, information and inspiration to spur the world into positive action. I share my experiences here on purpose. The Oculus at the World Trade Center, NYC Today I write  ✍️ to encourage us and to build my writing stamina. When we start to work on those things we’re passionate about we also manifest the greatest good in us. Our actions not only bless us individually but the lives of others. I honor I Am for always being within me. I honor the life of all those that have taught me. I Am the seed that grew up to experience all that I have on purpose. Now I go forth and share and bless others forward.  It’s amazing how just when you think you’re done with all the pushing and pain there is an additional movement. It comes about a half hour after giving birth. If in stirrups it j...
