What a year it has been.   Who would have imagined that 2020 would bring us the global COVID-19 pandemic and all that resulted from it \u2014 the deaths, the infections, the social isolation, the economic impact locally, nationally and globally?   Who would have imagined how contentious the U.S. 2020 Presidential election would be and that we\u2019d have a sitting president long after the electoral college met and voted fail to concede the election to his successor? Who would have imagined the long overdue cry for racial justice and equality here in the United States rising to a fever pitch and challenging all Americans to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement?  Although I haven\u2019t enjoyed all of the social isolation; nor the ugliness and shadow we were all faced to deal with within ourselves and observed in others; nor the economic impact this shutdown and continued responses to curtail the spread of COVID-19 has wreaked upon the livelihoods of friends, family, and neighbors; nor the suffering and struggle those who came down with COVID-19 went through; nor the sadness, grief, and pain those who lost their battle with COVID-19 went through \u2014 many isolated and alone without family in the hospital and the grief their loved ones left to mourn them had to go through \u2014 many not able to gather together in person with their larger family and clan to celebrate the life of their loved one who died of COVID-19, 2020 will always be a special year for me.  In the last hours of 2020 I have to look back and realize 2020 has not been a total wash out for me. I hope I can keep the awareness and knowledge I\u2019ve gained in 2020 to help shape all the New Years ahead 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024\u2026. May we all take the awareness and growth gained from 2020 and do our part to make all the New Years ahead better and better and better. As I said last year, I have a strong feeling that 2020 and the decade it will define is going to be a tremendously blessed time for humanity, for light workers, for the cosmos as we all grow in awareness and raise our vibrations to the higher realms. I can think of no better way to close out 2020 and eagerly anticipate 2021 and the decade that is bursting to unfold within the cosmos than to imaginary pray Alice Bailey\u2019s \u201cThe Great Invocation.\u201d   I hope you will be able to participate in this imaginal prayer as 2020 comes to an end and 2021 begins.  Regardless of if you are able to do it literally as 2020 ends and 2021 begins are several hours, days, weeks, months later \u2014 I know the collective power of all the intentions and imaginings of light within the cosmos will energetically illuminating the hearts, minds and souls of all within the cosmos. Please join me.  ","author_name":"Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope","author_url":"http:\/\/angelsofthenativity.org\/speilumina","html":"
