FAREWELL 2023

The year 2023 has almost come to an end. As you know, we all currently live in the common era. Yet 2023 refers to 2023 AD. Basically it’s been 2,023 years since the birth of Jesus Christ. Also in the Chinese culture, 2023 is the year of the rabbit which began January 22, 2023. I hope you all had a wonderful year. Now as we the travelers journey toward a new year, let’s keep the message of hope within our inner soul. In the Chinese culture, this year was predicted as the year of hope. So, let’s in union bid farewell to 2023, the year of hope as we travel ahead with hope into the year of 2024.

I hope you all had a year filled with hope, peace, and prosperity.

Even in the dark, look toward the glimmer of hope. Don’t be pulled backward by people trying to take you back through negativities. Let go of the past and move forward with only positive vibes. If a person could travel to the past and live there, I am positive they would want to be at the most positive place possible, not in the darkest place possible. Hold on to the friends and family members who take you to the land of hope, peace, and prosperity. Let go of the hands that pull you back, because then you will fall backward. Be strong and stand on your own feet holding on to the hands of hope and peace.

Let go of those who only criticize and place you on the defense all the time. There is no need to defend what you believe. Don’t go back to the place that had created the rift. It’s healthy to forgive and move on with hope of a better future. Let’s all believe in positive manifestations. Come hold my hands and in union let us all manifest a hope-filled, positive, and peaceful new year. Yet we must do this by forgiving the past and letting it go. So, do the breathing techniques with me and let go of all the negative people and thoughts and breathe in only hope and blessings.

Remember where there is hope, there is a way.

So, you can walk and make all your dreams come true with hope and taking the journey towards hope. Dreams are just that, only dreams until they become your reality. We can all dream of a better future and then it will manifest through our positive thoughts. Believe in it, for it’s true.

Life is a journey where we don’t have any guidelines given to us at birth yet must follow basic moral values. For this, we at times depend on scientists, at times our intuitions, and at times our dreams. Remember when you the humans are given vivid dreams during your REM cycle, keep them written in a diary and don’t share them with any negative person. They will not understand dreams are given in fragments and at times are given over years for dreams are just a part of the whole picture we are not aware of.

Dreams are very confusing and at times will create a rift between friends and families if not taken with caution.

Only share with similar dreamers who too are having vivid dreams. Always be patient and wait for the dreams to show you the complete meaning during the daylight hours. People will only judge you and reset your life according to their views. Be it a dream or any new idea you have, be cautious and wait to pursue. Don’t make a mistake and share it with the wrong people. They will criticize you and maybe prevent another scientist or a singer or a movie star from being born.

I was told by a psychic friend in Jamaica she never shared all her thoughts or the thoughts of others she could hear and see in her mind. I thought at the time what was she saying, but I later realized she spoke of the truth as she had passed away at an early age. She had shared the prophesy of her passing with a couple of friends including myself. She could read minds and could heal people through reiki. She was a person I had admired with all my heart. She saved my life as she sat near my feet doing reiki when I had dengue fever. Yet at her time of death, I was far away and did not even know until it was too late. As a Hindu, she was cremated and so I had no place to go and lay flowers at. I remember her last words to me were she believed we were sisters in another time. She had said if she does pass away, not to worry as she will reincarnate and be back soon. That thought and her last words to me kept me going as I know she probably is back somewhere.

Her message was to live with hope and always know there are like-minded people who will appreciate you.

Just wait and be patient.

Also, don’t hold a grudge when you do disagree as that’s what will hold you back. Try to see it through forgiveness as then you can move on.

Sometimes when you go back and get in touch with the people you have severed the relationship with, you realize why you had severed the relationship in the first place. I had tried to have a conversation with some family members who I love yet realized after I got in touch with them, why we had lost connection. I realized they were still the judges not also the judged. I always say let us the judged not be the judge. People think and act differently. It’s all right to do so. Yet all I heard on the phone was now don’t do this or do that. They were not interested to see if I was all right or if I called because I missed them, but they were back in the past. If there is no understanding in between or just giving life a chance, then like I said in my book of poetry Melodies Of Humanity: The Golden Keys, “Walk Away For Peace.”

Live your life through your eyes and be happy where you land.

Not all dreams, the nighttime ones or the daydreams, will be what others expect of you or from you. You just dream for yourself and be the wise not to share any of your dreams with others who will only wipe you off through their unjust thoughts and minds. Life is a journey where not everyone will agree yet let’s learn to disagree and still be friends. We all know not all dreams and not all ideas will come true. There is a difference between expecting reality and waiting for a miracle.

I had a dream as I wrote in my book Spiritual Lighthouse: The Dream Diaries Of Ann Marie Ruby, in which I saw this world would have a deadly virus that would be treated through vaccines. Yet this virus must be eradicated and investigated as this might be the worst nightmare for this generation.

I had shared this dream in my book, and some had asked, “How would you know?”

Yet I became aware and remained calm.

I thought I should not have said anything for I didn’t know what it was as like I said, we never get the complete pictures in our dreams. We only realize the meanings after the events become our reality. Yet in 2019, years after the release of my book, we all saw as firsthand witnesses what my dream meant.

So, I say dreams are just that dreams, until they become reality. Don’t let them become the way of life but keep them in a diary, as this diary just might become a way of guidance for the future generations like a candle of hope. Dream big during the daylight hours so you can plan for your future. Yet during the REM cycle, try to be guided through your dreams of the night.

This year, I had planned to do much more and achieve much more than I did.

I did travel a lot this year and made the best of it. Now let’s look back at what I achieved this year. I believe I had done what the Lord willed and what I tried to do. Everything in life is not calculated but it is what it is. I am happy I was able to travel and meet a lot of you this year. Sometimes our plans in life change and when we get lemons instead of oranges, we just make lemonade.

I released three books this year.

The Immortality Serum: Vows From The Beyond is the seventh book in the Kasteel Vrederic series.

A magical paranormal family saga where the Kasteel Vrederic family members go looking for their future daughter-in-law who is a mysterious ghost from centuries ago. How does a woman survive when everything had burned down through a devastating paranormal fire in Malibu? Read this book and know miracles are a part of this life and they do come true if you only believe. Don’t give up on hope as she never gives up on us.

Melodies Of Humanity: The Golden Keys, I had released with a lot of love for all the people suffering from various humanitarian crises.

A humanitarian poetry book, where I talk about catastrophic humanitarian issues plaguing this one Earth. Read this book of poetry and maybe you too will find an issue that resonates with you. Then do give some time to the issue that resonates with you. Maybe then you will be the hope these people were all praying for.

Shattered Wings: Diary Of A Child Bride, is a very emotional book.

This humanitarian crisis affects one in five women around the globe, yet no one talks about this. No one gets involved to do something about this as again, it’s not their problem. So, my magical paranormal pen wrote a paranormal novel about this very serious humanitarian crisis. Maybe what a child could not do through her muffling cries of help, my magical child Ahana Roy will achieve through this magical book.

A reader (Erica, The Reading Wife) said, “Her gift for storytelling in such an amazing way is nothing short of brilliant. I found myself wanting every single child bride to be reduced by people like the Kasteel Vrederic family, and more people to care the way they did in this book.”

This book is emotional and very powerful, but also a paranormal novel where like all my books, I will make you cry and make you laugh and enjoy the ride. Yet I want all of you to wake up and be within the group of people who will say to all humans across this world, to end the child bride crisis. Let’s be the hope these children are seeking.

Messages of hope I had sent with three very different books to all of your homes.

I want all of you to live life, laugh in life, and be happy through your life as you open the pages of my books. I hope to gift all of you hope, prosperity, longevity, peace, and love through the pages of my books. If you search for my books, you will find a Dream Diary which guides you through dreams. You will find Eternal Truth where I let you know through my eyes all race, color, and religion are same. Just see through the eyes of all the people around the globe, not just your own. In my books, you will also find how I had urged all to end the World Hate Crisis years ago as I knew otherwise, we would all be a divided Earth. I have written my books Spiritual Songs, two books of prayers, for all of you, as Erica said she always goes back to this book when she just needs a break.

For all the children around the world at the end of last year, I had gifted my children’s book I call Enchanted Tales, an all-colorful storybook that takes you around the globe through the seven continents of this world, where your children and you will help superheroes to solve mysteries as you learn about the cultures of your neighboring countries. My hope is this book will unite all the children of this world through miraculous children from Enchanted Tales.

I hope you found some things you too were proud to archieve this year.

Maybe a trip you were saving for. Maybe you bought a house or moved into an apartment which you love renting and not buying. Maybe you went to your child’s first game. We all finally went back to dining outside and that in itself is a huge achievement.

It’s what you like to do and are happy of doing. Those are the greatest achievements of your year. If you did not achieve anything and know you must try harder, I believe that’s an achievement. I know a lot of people have lost loved ones. If this year you have lost a loved one, remember not to lose their taught hope and carry it within your inner chest as you walk broken heartedly yet with hope and a lot of wisdom and strength toward the new year. Let hope travel with us to the new year as we carry the messages of hope within our innermost hearts. May the message of hope not end as the year of the Water Rabbit ends and takes us to the year of the Green Wooden Dragon.

We are all set to enter the year 2024 which in the Chinese culture is the year of strength, power, and energy.

Let’s all celebrate with one another versatility and accept all different cultures and religions into one home. Everyone celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, my blessings be with you. Muslims celebrating Jumada al-Akhirah, my blessings be with you. Also, Hindus celebrating Vivah Panchami, my blessings be with you.

Everyone, remember to respect and love all humans alike. No one person is greater or lesser than the others, as we are all like different fingers of the same Creator. Be the human with humanity and let’s in union celebrate a better and happier new year as we enter the year of strength, power, and energy. Those are what is said the year 2024 is and will bring. Also, for your information, the Lunar New Year will be on Saturday February 10, 2024. Wherever you are and how ever you celebrate the new year, even if it is taking a dip in the cold shivering waters of the North Sea in the Netherlands, my blessings be with you all.

So, let’s all in union say, Farewell 2023, The Year Of Hope!

Happy New Year

Our hearts filled
With hope,
Let’s all now
Be content.
Let life guide us
Through our eyes.
May we be able to accept the sorrows,
The devastations,
The loss,
The grief
Through
Pouring the tears out.
We will just
Let them fall
And will not try to catch them in the dark.
We won’t hide them
Anymore by
Looking away.
So, we will not prevent
The tears from falling.
From now on, we will
Just let them fall.
The salty waters will
Guide you
To safety.
They will allow us to
Be the judge
Of our own life.
We will
Walk by ourselves,
Even when no one follows
For our footsteps
Will take us
To our destination,
As our journey
Will end at
Our destination,
Through our footsteps,
Not the footsteps of the others.
For all humans
Have different destinations.
Our own belief
Is right for us.
Even if we fall
And no critic or judge
Is there to pick us up,
We can get up.
We can heal ourselves.
We can walk to our destination
With our own judgment,
Through our own will,
And with pride and honor
As only then, we will be
The strong,
The intelligent,
The powerful,
The knowledgeable,
The learned,
From within
Our own selves,
For ourselves.
We will be the guide
For all others
Who too will
Be on the same path
As humans will
All travel
Upon this path
Where we must
Learn to walk
By ourselves,
For ourselves.
We were born as
An individual,
So we shall not
Look backward
To only be distracted
By the words of
The critics,
For we are the wise.
We walk with wisdom.
We walk with hope
To gain good luck.
Now everyone,
Let’s wipe off,
The bad memories,
Keep the good memories,
And
Dream of a better future
As we will now
Enter with hope to the house of
Luck, wealth, and power.
So now, let’s all in union
Say,
Happy New Year!

Sending blessings from San Francisco. Happy New Year everyone,
