Book Cover & Preview Text
Week 10 Kindness There is a gentleness that is present Within each and every one of you. It co-exists with strength and courage, For both are often needed In order for you to exhibit kindness or compassion. There appears to be a perception here upon this plane that kindness evolves from weakness, from lack of self-worth, from being an easy target, when in fact, the exact opposite is true. For often, showing kindness and compassion requires you to take a step away from the crowd and to act alone. It often shows leadership and resolve, a willingness to set the tone, to teach the lesson, to show the way. Do not forget to show this during your daily life. It requires you to step out of your comfort zone at times. It requires you to be aware of your surroundings. It requires you to be present in the moment. And is that not what we have taught you time and time again – to be present in the moment? For the present is all that is. It helps to create the future and heal the past. What you do in this very moment is setting the stage for the next one, while releasing hold on the previous one. Ah, if all could only start each moment anew, think of how the world would change! No regrets, no grudges, no expectations. Life as it is in all its nakedness. Life in the now. It is time for you to be kind to yourself, also. You have this season of giving in celebration of a birth, a season for celebration and reaching out. But should this season not be part of every day in your life? We do not quite understand the focus on just one time of year. Should not your every moment be one of celebration, giving and reaching out? There is a great need at this time to spend time in silence and meditation, if only for a moment every day. It is during these times that you can connect with your Source, to renew and regenerate, to receive the loving kindness and embrace of the All. Do not forget to do this, especially at this time. This is our gift to you; your gift to yourself. Time spent sitting and breathing, walking and breathing, eating and breathing. Being aware. Being of One. Being of Love. These short meditations can raise your spirit, raise your energy, and raise your connection. And that is sorely needed at this time. Allow the joy of you, the joy of the All to rise within each and every one of you. Celebrate your very existence, your every breath. Let us help you by allowing the connection to strengthen between us. Be kind to yourself. It begins with you. You deserve it. You are worthy of it. And as you grow, the world grows brighter, the Universal song is louder, and the energies rise higher. Sit in silence, walk in silence, eat in silence. Love yourself and exhibit kindness towards yourself and others. For the gift is you.

About the Author
Born in a small town in central Pennsylvania, Celine’s childhood was marked by her unique gift of sensitivity. As a kid trying to put a name on something she trusted but couldn’t really explain, she articulated the experience as the presence of imaginary friends she named her “Tovarysh,” (pronounced, Toh-VASH), which is the word for friend in the Slavic language. These divine messengers, her Tovarysh, have remained a benevolent presence to this day, guiding her through all aspects of her life. After receiving a biology degree from Bucknell University, Celine pursued a career in medical research both at Stanford University Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center. She has over 30 publications in infectious disease, biochemistry and cardiovascular scientific journals. Twelve years ago, Celine realized a lifelong dream when she became a blueberry farmer, in addition to pursuing her professional career. Now retired from her research career, she continues to hone her farming skills, with her bushes now yielding over 3000 pounds of blueberries each season. Following the guidance of her Tovarysh to share the divine wisdom passed down to her, she started a blog five years ago, TheTovaryshConnection. Later, she assembled a collection of these messages as a practical tool for readers and published her first book, One With All of Thee: Growing Your Sacred Connection. One With All of Thee: Sowing the Seeds for Change is the second book in the One With All of Thee (OWAT) series. In it, Celine shares another year’s worth of gentle and comforting messages she has received from her friends, The Tovarysh. This collection of practical wisdom continues where the first book left off, speaking directly to the challenges of a time of great change and spiritual growth. It guides us to the next level of personal development with tools designed to support us in our spiritual evolution. Celine speaks and teaches locally in the Raleigh-Durham area.
