February is the month for Candlemass, Imbolc, Valentine's Day and President's Day in the USA.  This year, we are also watching a new President in his first 100 days in office.  As I sit and watch this man on TV I often wonder what is going through his mind. The first black man to hold this office in the history of our nation. This is a proud time. It is also sad that his race is even something think about, but they do. 

We have come so far and yet have just begun the journey. This year, I ask that as you go about your day, please think of all those people who have fought and died for our great country. For those still fighting for others. For those who have done their duty and returned home to their families and tried to rebuild their lives. Let them feel our love and support. As spring approaches, lift up your prayers in hope, thanksgiving and love for our nation. So many people have lost jobs, yet so many have not. Many of our members seem to be able to hold on for now. I pray that also continues. So, instead of buying that rose or those chocolates, give the one you love a hug and let them know how much you really love them. There is no better way to tell them.

Blessing in the name of The Divine
