As I was transferring information from my 2007 logbook to the new one, a handwritten note fell out from the pages. What was written as an affirmative prayer for the year 2007 has turned out to be an oracle of the times to come in 2008 and beyond.

The note read, “Dear God, May your thoughts be my thoughts, may your words be my words, may I be open to receiving what is the best and highest good for phenomeNEWS, its readers and the world and may I be open to receive all the blessings.”

2007 was a year of revelation, changes and exciting new possibilities as I let myself flow into new directions.

The spiral is used often in spiritual teachings to indicate that as we come around again we do so at a higher level than before. Even though the scene, people and places seem the same, somehow the energy or essence of the experience is at an entirely different level.

phenomeNEWS is moving into a new and broader expression of itself this year. The angels certainly heeded my little handwritten prayer and sent their best messengers to help guide this next higher phase.

Over the next few months, we will be re-designing and expanding our web presence, www.phenomenews.com. It will be taking on a new fresh look and have more features and interactive sections.

Next month, we will preview our new online community, a social network of people who are consciously aware, people who are on a journey of spiritual and/or personal growth and who want to learn, share and grow. This is your vehicle to link up with other like minded individuals throughout the world.

The classic text by Ken Keyes, The Hundredth Monkey, illustrated the power of critical mass, which simply stated means when a certain number of people start thinking and acting in concert with one another, it shifts the rest of the clan to act in the same way, becoming in unison with the greater whole. This transforms the world from within.
As we are still gestating the new vision, I won’t reveal too much, but I can guarantee you this. Just as you have received your spiritual food and upliftment from each monthly issue of phenomeNEWS, this new vehicle will take you to the next higher level. You will be able to read and interact with phenomeNEWS authors, your favorite A-list personalities and each other, not only through the website, but through any computer, cell phone, iPhone or ipod, throughout the world. We are going global in the truest sense of the word.

We are on the precipice of something truly phenomenal (no pun intended!). The opportunity for major moves forward and profound shifts in consciousness are unlimited.

This is one of the most exciting times to be alive on this wonderful planet of ours. With the technology available to us, we can and will be able to affect change in a huge way.

phenomeNEWS has been a beacon for many on their search for who they are. As we enter this 30th year of publishing, phenomeNEWS now moves higher on the spiral, providing a deeper, richer and more personal heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul connection for its community and the world at large.

We warmly invite you to open yourself to the next highest version of you. Watch for the exciting unveiling in future issues. Welcome to your future filled with possibilities!
