Christmas is where love is
Merry Christmas from my place of love
and light. This Christmas is really special. I feel so grateful to be
celebrating Christmas here. I was not sure whether I could come here this year.
I feel very blessed that it worked out. As the holidays approached, many people
asked me where I spend Christmas. Naturally, it is assumed that I spend the
holidays with my family.
When I think of family, two very different emotions
start to emerge within me - pain and unconditional love. I hope that when you
think of family all you think of is love and that your family means the world
to you. To tell you the truth, when I think of my biological family, or let’s
say certain members, I feel sadness and pain, feel neglected and hurt. A visit
there is a struggle and means stress and judgment; the house feels cold and
empty emotionally. No, I do not wish to spend my holidays there. I will tell
you more about them when I feel ready. For now, let us focus on the positive, after
all, it is Christmas – a time of light and love!
There are places and people in the
world who make me feel loved, welcome and cared for. These are places that
resonate with my soul in every sense. From the architecture to the culture,
from simple kindness to unconditional love that seems to go around. Love is in
the air there. I feel home. When I go there I feel like I am coming home. More
familiar than with my birthplace, I know my way around and feel as if I belong
there. People feel like old friends. People here feel like family even if they
are not. When this happens, souls recognize each other as familiars from other
lifetimes. Someone not related to you can feel more like family than the family
you were born into. A place can feel more home than the place of residence. All
happens on the soul level; all happens where unconditional love comes from. Visiting
here for Christmas feels like coming home for the holidays and enlightens my soul.
Houses here are filled with love and
light. Here I feel home. Strolling down Bahnhofstrasse, hiking up the hills in Adliswil,
being inspired in Felsenegg, praying for peace and tolerance in the world in
Erlenbach, and finally, sitting by the lake in Kuesnacht being in complete admiration
of the never-ending twinkling lights along the shore and the stars above on a
clear Christmas night, deeply touches my heart. This is a very special place on
our beautiful planet Earth. This is a place where I call the people here part
of my soul family. This is a very spiritual place. I always feel so good to be
here. I feel home.
As I thank the Lord for allowing me to
celebrate Christmas here, I send up prayers to the heavens to my soul family,
the special people in my life near and far. You are my family. We might not be
related or even know each other. All I know is that I love you from the bottom
of my heart – unconditionally - and that I am grateful that you exist.
I hope that wherever
you are spending your holidays, may they be with loving people surrounding you
in a place that enchants your heart.
Happy Holidays from a
place of light and love,
Barbara
