I posed this question on Facebook, “What are you giving to 2018?” Then, I realized the word “to” should’ve been the word, “in!” You responded with strong posts, your intentions of giving to self and in the universe. Then, GS was blessed to receive a poem by Gloria Lawson Sylvester that invites us to go to a holy place 365 days a year, to peace. Yes, we have Stepping Stones for 2018. Thank you! –Victorine
Emily Emfinger Johnson – I’m not sure what all 2018 is going to demand that I hand over (2017 took a lot out of me), but I am going to give myself the gift of grace more often than I have been. Can’t keep giving to others if I don’t give to myself too.
Melissa Blankenship-Parker – I’m going to let 2017 have all my worry, stress, strife and negativity. 2018 will only get love, compassion, belief, faith and positivity.
Susan Peters – In 2018 I’m going to GIVE UP the notion that I have to struggle to have my efforts bear fruit. I intend to welcome and embrace the idea that through GRACE I can Co create with SPIRIT to more easily manifest my dreams. No more forced effort- I am connected to the Universe

Holiday Holy Day
a time set aside
to honor the wholeness
found in all humankind
Holiday Holy Day
a time to give thanks
to honor the lavish abundance
the one song of the universe.
Holiday Holy Day
three hundred and sixty-five
a time for daily appreciation
for all that life provides.
Holiday Holy Day
a time to sanctify
our hearts and minds
for one mission
to know and radiate peace
first from inside
