One of the things I’ve learned over the years is that how important someone is to an individual may not correspond to the frequency of contact. My cousin Helen is a great example. My only contact with her over the years has been her Christmas card and accompanying letter. Each year I would receive an amazing card from her filled with great vibes and amazing messages “. In her letter she would share her special experiences from the year that passed which always included the volunteer work that she did during the year at Prisons. She is part of a ministry that meets with inmates and helps them by awakening and strengthening their spiritual energies. Knowing that I’ve worked with inmates, she has sent me some terrific books relating to the potential healing power possible in prison. I always wait for her annual card which would arrive a day before Christmas and on Christmas Day I’d write my message in response and send my Holiday card to her. This year I eagerly awaited to receive that card, but it never came. So on New Year’s Day I’ll take the time to write to her and send her a card. I only hear from her once a year, but that communication is so important and so special. Thinking about it, getting her card is similar to the feeling a child feels on Christmas morning knowing Santa cared enough to pay a visit.
