Colorado Currents

For years starting in 1989 I wrote an inspirational Christmas letter, until the year 2001. I used to snail mail it out to about 150 people, family, friends, acquaintances, many of whom kept the messages on refrigerator doors, or passed them on for their inspirational value. I loved writing them. After I moved to Boulder, Colorado in 1990, the newsletter was dubbed "Colorado Currents".

After 9/11/2001 I thought that God had left the planet, and that no amount of inspiration would ever bring her back.

After a 3 year hiatus in 2004, I finally wrote another Christmas letter, but did not have the courage to send it out. Christmas 2005, almost the same thing happened, and it dawned on me, that it is I who lost my inspiration to send out the message.

I want to create and re-create what that message was all about for me, for others, for the world. My talents are God's gift to me, what I do with them is my gift back. I firmly believe that we are here, all of us, to create heaven on earth, and hence that all of us are meant to be angels to others.

Click here for this year's letter, from my heart. I hope you will enjoy it, and that it will inspire you, to do all you can in 2006. You all have inspired me, to do all I can.

Love always.

A little known fact about the Boulder, Colorado area is that we get an average of 300 days of sun per year, a far cry from the 300 days of cloudy overcast weather my native Holland gets !

Thought for today
Be the change you wish to see in the world.     - Gandhi

It is so easy to lament the state of our lives, the world. If only circumstances were different, then life would be perfect and we all would be happy.

But true change starts within.

Let us return the world to love, one person at a time, beginning with me.           - Marrrek
 
My Vision
To be a force for good,
to leave this world better than I found it,
to do all that I can,
with what I have,
in the time I have,
in the place I am.
         - Marrrek

I want to inspire and motivate others to do the same, to create heaven on earth, together.
