My dear friends, we love you so very much,

As you approach the end of a year unlike any other, ask yourself, "What do I want to take with me as I move forward into a new year?" As challenging as this year has been, the gifts have been many.

If you focus on what you are vehemently glad to be leaving behind, you will energetically take it with you. If instead you focus with appreciation upon what you have learned, how you have grown, and all the gifts of grace that have emerged from the seeming chaos, then you take those gifts with you. You can pick up the gifts of 2020 and bring them into 2021, or you can carry the baggage and bring that forward.

For all its challenges, this year has changed humanity's future for the better in ways you cannot yet see or imagine. At the beginning of this year, you lived upon a planet where many people were becoming increasingly disconnected, texting more than talking, rushing instead of taking time to relax, be, contemplate, and create from the inside out.

You lived on a planet where Mother Nature was taken for granted by a large portion of the population, as were many of life's simple pleasures. You lived on a planet where a large number of people who support your society remained the quiet and unsung heroes while those who amassed wealth and celebrity were celebrated. You lived on a planet that had become apathetic about racial injustice, and where many remained unaware of the preciousness of their own neighbors.

And then along came covid – a thoughform introduced by a group of scientific beings from another dimension, in the hopes they could stir up enough energy to maintain themselves. Long ago they lost their experience of love and connection with the Source. Nothing, of course, can be disconnected from the Source, but when an individual, or a race of beings, ceases to feel emotion and ceases to love, the connection to source cannot be felt. They became parasitic, able to live only upon the energy of others – a virus so to speak. And thus covid-the-thoughtform was introduced into certain minds upon your planet who were seeking to understand such things, and who had no idea what they were playing with.

As the virus of fear was propagated, the thoughtform became a thing, and infested both minds and bodies. Your planet became obsessed with death, but in reaction, a light began to shine brightly within you as you also became obsessed with coming to life. In your separation you craved connection. You no longer took relationships, toilet paper, groceries, delivery people, clerks, or even your own breath for granted. You sent out signals unto the heavens that your hearts truly wanted to be #inittogether. And then, all that separates you began to surface, for when you send a cry for light it cannot help but shine upon the darkness. Your racial divisions became too obvious to be swept under the rug, and millions more sent out a cry for an appreciation of diversity – a cry that has been heard and responded to, and has initiated movements in human hearts that will create change for decades to come. Most of you will live to see a world where differences are celebrated.

You will see a world in decades to come that harnesses the forces of nature to create clean energy, has cleaned up the former messes created, and has come together to value the planet upon which you live. You will see cities with far more greenery in, and between buildings. You will see people coming together to create more old-fashioned communities, parks, gardens, and neighbors assisting neighbors. The world will become your neighborhood.

Your world is changing for the better, even though you can only see the seeds of change. Believe in these seeds dear ones. Believe they will grow. Believe in the better world to come. We see it in your future.

So as you move into 2021, know that the seeds are still germinating beneath the soil in the cells and souls upon your planet. The tilling of the soil is still in progress; the birthing of your world, still in stages of contractions. There will be great and sometimes vehement disagreements about what constitutes freedom. There will be clashes between people who believe their solution to the world's problems is better than others. Through all of this, dear ones, you will start to realize as a human race that each one of you has an inner compass that guides you like the Christmas Star to the Christ within.

There is no one right solution to any problem. There is only one right for you.

So as you move forward into the New Year, take the time to review 2020 and all the ways in which you've grown, changed, learned, and felt your ever beating hearts. No parasitic energy will ever claim dominance over the human race, because parasites need lower vibrations to live and thrive, and with your ever beating hearts you are still strongly and dearly connected to the Source of all love, all creation, and all that is good and growing in grace.

Happy Near Year dear friends. We are holding the vision with you for your unimaginable and amazing future.

God bless you. We love you so very much.

Hi Everyone,

I went back and read the new years' newsletter from January of 2020, and was floored to see the angels' words:

"In the face of the world’s contrasts you come to know and love your own perspectives even more clearly. Rather than looking at the world and judging others as “right" or “wrong," “good" or “bad", instead use the diversity of opinions and activities as a backdrop against which you can more clearly see and acknowledge your own heart and your own truths."

They also encouraged us to live and let live, and to focus on our own hearts and dreams rather than getting sucked into what the world was doing.

At the time I channeled it, I didn't have any idea how clearly those words would be needed in a year that inspired so much divisiveness and chaos. It was quietly been festering under the surface for a long time. We used to turn a blind eye to many things, but in 2020 we had to look at everything a bit more clearly – 2020 vision indeed! We started to look through the eyes of our soul. What do we value? What is really in our hearts? What do we want to create in the future?

It was hard for anyone to hide from their own hearts in a year that threw us out of our minds and drove us deep into feeling.

Ultimately that is a good thing.

I have never seen such resourcefulness and care as the quiet heroes came to the surface to be noticed and appreciated. Neighbors sewed masks when there were none. Grocery store workers, delivery people, nurses, doctors, teachers and others who have quietly been pillars of society were appreciated in a whole new way.

We were put into quarantine and got really creative about how we connect. We started to take more charge of our minds and our habits so we wouldn't feel at the mercy of our bodies.
We came to appreciate Mother Nature in a whole new way. We were motivated to deeply appreciate the simple things in life. I will never be able to walk past a stack of toilet paper in Costco without wanting to dive into it headfirst with gratitude for its presence!!

More importantly, the appreciation of diversity has taken a huge leap forward as large corporations began to take seriously the need to get rid of systemic injustice and represent all races and perspectives more equally. I know we are far from where we want to be. There is still horrific injustice to be resolved, but there has been more progress in acknowledging diversity this year than I've seen in my entire life. It is about time.

We have changed, and mostly for the better.

With our heart's calling for better, we have used our free will to mobilize the heavens. Angels and supportive other-worldly beings are beaming high vibrational frequencies to the planet. Amazing children are being born who will help us bring our mother earth back to balance, and show us that we're all God's children. Amazing parents and teachers are creating the space for these souls. Amazing leaps in science and social justice will be made during the course of our lives. More people are in touch with their hearts, and with the heavens. The veil seems thinner. The desire to connect stronger. These are exciting times!

2021 could be a challenge if we get sucked into the world's view, and choose to look at it as a challenge, or it can be a wonderful year. We can use all our spiritual tools, go within, create, and trust in the power that breathes life into universes can help us move our dreams forward in creative ways.

Whether we quarantine or not, we have the company of angels and the Presence of the divine within.

Whether vaccines excite or upset you, we have a light within that can protect us more strongly than any substance, and a will that can choose to take in only the energies that help.

Whether the economy goes up or down, we can give thanks for all we have and thus tap into an abundance that is independent of human economy.

Whether the world seeks to suck us into fear and divisiveness, we can quietly live in love with life and remain undivided within our own spirit. We can get up, appreciate the sunrise and each new day. We can go to bed and give thanks for life.

And we, in our understandings of a world based on energy vs effort can create a wonderful vibration within that will be reflected without.


Here are a few pointers to move into 2021 in grace:

1. Count the blessings of 2020

For some it was your best year ever, for others the toughest. In any case, you can look back and start to list the many blessings – great and small – that resulted from its challenges and contrast.

Maybe you had to look at something that requires change. It might not have been easy but it will lead you to happier life now that you dare to dream.

Maybe you found you could work from home and even when the world opens up you'll choose to create a new way of working that feels balanced and good to you.

Maybe you explored new interests – took online classes, learned to bake, or learned to zoom so you could attend virtual happy hours!

Maybe you got outside more and came to appreciate mother nature more.

Maybe you appreciate the little things more.

Maybe you learned to care about the perspectives of others more.

Maybe you overcame fears.

Really spend some time to acknowledge yourself for all the blessings and ways you have grown.

2. Thank yourself

For each of the ways in which you've grown or improved, stop and thank yourself. Acknowledge yourself. Say something like, "I acknowledge and appreciate myself for growing. I acknowledge and appreciate that I have grown by..."

Really take time to bless yourself with your own appreciation. It took courage to be alive this year and to remain on this earth. You are mid-wifing a new world for generations to come.

3. Examine who you want to become

Instead of the usual new year's resolutions (or in addition) ask yourself, "Who do I want to be at the end of 2021?" Imagine your personality as you'd love it to be. Imagine that you feel excited and passionate about your dreams. Imagine you are gracious, kind, non-judgmental, kindly powerful. Imagine you have learned the art of compassionate boundaries, self-acceptance, and self-appreciation.

Imagine that you have learned to discern rather than judge. Imagine that you no longer care about what anyone thinks so you can live according to your inner compass and listen to the Divine within. Imagine you feel abundant in all ways. Imagine you are in love with life.

What would this feel like? Imagine you are the person you wish to be. There's no need to imagine the circumstances around you, just imagine instead, the kind of person you wish to be, and how you want to feel about yourself and life.


I've talked to many of you in 2020. I've seen your hearts, your courage, your struggles, your joys, your fears, your creative inspirations, your hopes and dreams. It was a year for letting whatever was lodged deep inside come to the surface so we can decide what to carry forward into a new reality.

Be gentle with yourselves as you move forward. Envision a post-covid world, but not one where the virus is merely gone. Instead imagine a better, kinder, cleaner, and clearer world – one in which we truly embrace the fact that we are all different, all guided, all cared for, and all here with a desire to expand and experience the Love that gives us the very breath we breathe.

Happy New Year. You are all bright and shining beautiful lights!
Ann

Recipe of the Week
Citrus Marinated Salmon
Recipe of the Week

This is one of my favorite holiday meals and very easy to make! The recipe is flexible, feel free to modify as you wish. If you don’t have wine or champagne, substitute one or the other or broth or any other liquid that you think would add flavor. And if you want to cut it in half that’s fine too, just adjust.

1 whole salmon without skin, cut into portions about 4 oz each
3 small or 2 large lemons, cut into thin slices
1 large or 2 small oranges, cut into thin slices

1/2 c sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
3 extra tablespoons of oil from the tomatoes or olive oil
3/4 c champagne
3/4 c white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 T dill

salt and cracked pepper

Grease a 9×13″ baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Line the bottom with sliced citrus. Its OK if you have a double layer. Salt and pepper the salmon and lay out over the citrus.

Mix the sun-dried tomatoes, oil, wine, champagne, garlic, and dill together. Dump over salmon. Bake at 375 for 25-27 minutes till salmon just flakes. Great served with any potato side dish, and steamed asparagus, wild rice, and a salad!
