This is a short and sweet post as the muse seems to have gone on holiday without me over the holidays.\u00a0 Oh well, I guess muses deserve a holiday once in a while\"Full<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, here\u2019s wishing my readers and friends a year filled with inner peace, joy, access to your inner knowing and meaningful activities that contribute to your purpose in life.<\/p>\n

On a global level, I hope that 2012 will see a kinder, gentler, more generous and peace-filled world. I know the people in my family and social circles embody these traits and share them with the rest of the world, and it\u2019s inspiring to be around.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n

What do you wish for yourself and the world in 2012? How will you be part of the change you want to see?<\/p>\n

On a parting note, I want to share the following links with you about two inspiring souls in the San Francisco Bay area who epitomize gentleness and generosity (A hat tip to my good friend R for sending me these links):<\/p>\n

The first story is about a \u201crebel\u201d<\/a> whose cause is loving kindness, published in the e-newsletter Daily Good by an organization called ServiceSpace.<\/p>\n

The second story is about a young philanthropist, Nipun Mehta, who started a restaurant, Karma Kitchen<\/a>, based on a gift economy and that consistently demonstrates people\u2019s generosity and willingness to pay it forward.<\/p>\n

All the best for an inspired and enlightened January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
