------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LETTER FROM HEATHER O’HARA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Readers...
As this joyful holiday season touches our lives once again, I am reminded of the song title “Amazing Grace.” Just take a look at this incredible list of countries where grace abounds!
Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Ghana, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mauritius, Namibia, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America.
Now that is Amazing Grace!
I would like to thank each of you for being an important part of the song of enlightenment. Because of you, in just eight months this little newsletter has reached out and touched people in more than a quarter of the world’s countries! Together, ...we did it! And together, ...we can do more!
I just love the Law of Possibility—all you have to do is create a vision of what you want in your life, acknowledge that it is possible, believe it and receive it―and because it is a no-fail law of the Universe, it works every time!
With this law in mind, let me tell you about another vision of mine; another exciting “possibility” that we are going to manifest in 2006...
How would you like to co-author a book?
Yes, a beautiful book that we all create together! A book that is a collection of your inspirational stories, articles, poetry, letters, quips, quotes and affirmations... anything of an enlightening nature! A literary gem to be shared—one that will help to empower others to take just one more step toward a happier life, a brighter “now” and a better world for us all.
I listen intently to every email I receive from you, and what I hear you saying is that you want a bigger part—you want to do more... and this is your chance! The door is wide open for all of you who would like to participate in a project that will inspire many and be heard around the world!
This will be one of the many Quantum Journeys that we take together and I trust you will share my enthusiasm! I will be accepting submissions now through June 1, 2006, at which time I will choose one hundred of the most inspirational pieces and turn them into one incredible eBook. In November 2006, it will be given to all newsletter subscribers and you can forward it to others or make as many copies of it as you want and give them away!
This book will also be available on the Quantum-Grace website as a free gift to new visitors and I will also offer this book to other authors to be used as part of their bonus packages. A “Quantum Soup for the Soul” book, as well as a journey to be remembered.
I have no idea just how far your words of enlightenment, encouragement and inspiration will go, but I do know that there is only one way to find out—and that is to gather them up and aim for the center of the target!
And no, you don’t have to be a seasoned author to participate in this project; you just have to have something to say!
The time is now, so please reach deep into your hearts and begin writing. Let’s create a book that will rock the world! (Submission guidelines are in the “Resources” section of this newsletter.)
This final newsletter of 2005 is the magnificent beginning that emerges from every magnificent end and, once again I have included many inspirational quotes just because I love them so much!
And, because she is an extraordinary woman who walks with extraordinary grace, I have borrowed all of this month’s quotes from Anita Bergen’s beautiful book, “Life and Other Options.” An astounding collection of more than 400 quotes that Anita has spent years collecting—this book is an exquisite treasure! And, should you be in need of one more holiday gift or one more empowering quote for your holiday speech, this delightful eBook is available on her website, www.inspirationonline.com. (For those of you who wish to know where I go to get inspired—this is one of those places!)
One last thing before I go...
Many of you, who have been with me from the beginning, know that a wonderful man named Richard Daniel has been an integral part of what makes Quantum-Grace.com the beautiful website that it is. Besides managing his own successful business, Richard also spends time helping children and adults in need, while also being an outstanding volunteer community leader—and, even with his busy schedule, he continues to contribute hundreds of hours to the growth and success of Quantum-Grace.com—and if not for him, much of what you see there, would not exist.
For the past three months, Richard has been very ill and I would like to ask you all to take a moment today and send him your most powerful “healing” thoughts and prayers. Richard has spent most of his life helping other people and now it is his turn to be helped. Because of an acute condition of asthma, he is having a difficult time breathing right now, so please... send Richard “breath.”
For you who would like to send him a personal message (which he would love), you can email him at, hkohara@Quantum-Grace.com. Please remember to type “for Richard” in the subject bar and I will forward your messages to him.
Once again, I thank you all for your tremendous support and encouragement. This has been an incredible year for me, as I trust it has been for you. May we continue to learn and evolve in many wonderful ways as we journey onward and upward together.
Know that you have made my life remarkable—and as an expression of my gratitude and appreciation, please don’t miss the “special gift” that is waiting for you at the end of this newsletter. Because it is intended as a special gift from me to you, the attachment at the bottom of this page will be removed from the online version of this publication, so please download it as soon as you can...
May it find you well, happy and at peace.
Love & Light, ...Heather O’Hara

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ POEM: “JUST IMAGINE” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUST IMAGINE...
That you have come to Earth to do nothing more than write a story.
And that you know your story is more important than anything else because it is your only purpose in life.
Just one good story.
And so you make it as beautiful as you can, knowing it is the only reason you are here.
Just imagine.
― Heather K. O’Hara
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ARTICLE: “THE SONG IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Song is Impossible Without You
An Article by Heather K. O’Hara
Who knows what essence of a written or spoken word is absorbed by the mind and the heart or what imprint these words leave upon our souls. Like tiny pieces of an enormous puzzle called The Song of Life, perhaps its lyrics are scattered, here and there, throughout history--preserved by time and waiting patiently for the perfect moment to join together as one extraordinary, yet very simple, message.
I’ve often wondered what influence our voices have on the world as a whole and what it would sound like if many voices, past and present, came together as one song. Would the great secrets of our distinguished universe suddenly be revealed if the tiny bits and pieces of thought and language throughout time could be gathered into one melodious statement? And, is it possible that one such statement could apply to all of humanity--every person on Earth--no exceptions?
What if The Song of Life, in its entirety, is but a single statement--a statement so euphorically brilliant that even the masters marvel at its magnificence? And what if that notoriously elusive mystery we call “our purpose in life” is as simple as each of us bringing one unique word to that statement? What then? What great truth would emerge if we all suddenly knew what our “word” was, and someone came along and fit all of the words neatly together, revealing the secret of our existence with one, life changing statement--a statement so bold, and so pure and so powerful that it would light up every dark corner of the world?
Perhaps because I am a poet, I find the composing of a lyrical destiny not so very difficult to imagine. If it is true that we have come here for a reason, and if it is true that the reason each of us is born is to give something of ourselves to the world, adding to the spiritual evolution of humanity--then assuming we each carry one word of the song, or one piece of the puzzle, is not an uncommon thought at all.
Envision this: before we are born, we are each given a word to bring with us to Earth. Our only purpose for being on the planet is to express that one word--just express it, nothing else. We don’t have to figure out how, or when, or where it will fit into the great Song of Life; all we are required to do is know what it is and hand it over to the “Song of Life Department” with unmitigated trust at the perfect point in time, and BINGO, the great secret of life appears in one, easy-to-understand message.
Now envision this: somewhere along the path of life you lose your word. Or you forget what it is. Or you know what it is, but you have “expressing-it" issues, or worse, you have “I-just-can’t-let-it-go” issues. Bad news--The Song of Life Department needs every single word or no one gets to sing the whole song, and regretfully, we miss the message that is intended for all of us.
Suddenly it becomes very apparent that every word counts. Every single word is important--your word is just as valuable to the composition of the song as Gandhi’s word or Buddha’s word or Mother Theresa’s word. Never underestimate the value of your word by thinking that other words, possibly bigger words, are better than the one assigned to you. All words are created equal, no exceptions. So, if you’re thinking your word doesn’t count, know that it does, and in a very big way! The spiritual integrity of the entire World--all of humanity--is counting on you and your word.
There is not one word that can be replaced with another, so if you’ve lost yours, please ask someone to help you find it and don’t give up until you do. If you’ve forgotten it--focus, focus, focus! You’ll remember what it is--we’re all cheering for you! If you know what it is, but you have “expressing-it” issues, simply close your eyes, take a deep breath of courage, and stand up and say your word!
And if, by chance, you have the dreaded “I-just-can’t-let-it-go” syndrome--please, for your own sake and the sake of humanity, give it up! Believe me, after you’ve carried it around for the better part of a lifetime, that one word gets really, really heavy. So hand it over with enthusiasm and grace; your word is part of the greatest message on Earth, and it was given to you because you have the ability to express it more beautifully and more eloquently than any other person in the world. Let it be your gift of strength and courage to others.
The most important part of the message is in your hands, your heart, your soul--and it always has been. It was given to you before you were even born; you’ve had it all along and sharing it only makes it more valuable, because the song is impossible without you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY MESSAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I received this eye-opening message last week and wanted to share it with you. Its author is unknown...
“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...
You are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change in a dish some place...
You are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...
You are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation...
You are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear or harassment, arrest, torture, or death...
You are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
You are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...
You are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder...
You are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing that someone was thinking of you and furthermore...
You are more blessed than over 2 billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Have a good day. Count your blessings. Pass this along to those you love to remind them of how truly blessed we all are.”

Remember, there just can’t be too much light in the world!
Inspiration is meant to be passed along to others; share this book with love and love will come back to you. May the voices of many empowering people enhance your life and inspire you to live your greatest day every day.
