Looking Up
Happy New Year,
In a 20 month time period from the fall of 2003 until the spring of 2005 I wrote three of my four books and almost 200 articles. Then I quit writing new material. I wasn’t really bored, or tired, or anything. I certainly hadn’t run out of things to say. It simply wasn’t “calling me” the way it had.
You see, I only write when something deep within me or maybe it’s something divine from outside of me… when something powerful, spiritual, sacred, and bigger than myself tells me “It’s time to write.” Then I drop everything and I write. I have found that if I write from a normal everyday frame of mind, then the words just don’t move people, they don’t inspire people – so I made a rule for myself that I would only write when I have that powerful force flowing through me telling me what to say and when to say it.
For the last three or four months, I’ve had that feeling again, but have been so overworked and overscheduled that I cannot find the time to write. So I have been telling you that I’m going to write again, but I could not seem to block out the time needed to do so. Today, I stopped everything and wrote the first piece that was trying to come through. Today, I started writing again and so you have a brand new feature article.
I’ve also decided to make a major change so that I can free up more time for writing. About a year ago, I took my newsletter and broke it apart into six different themed newsletters. I thought that more people would sign up if they could opt NOT to sign up for things they really didn’t want to read. The weird thing is, less people signed up for the newsletters over the last year than before. And when new people do sign up, they usually sign up for 3 or more of the different newsletters. It seems that I’m wasting a lot of time monitoring and maintaining 6 different mailing lists when more people wrote positive fan mail when it was one big mixed up newsletter about all kinds of different things. So, starting today, I’m putting them all back together again as the original “Looking Up” newsletter that I started sending out back in November of 2003. It will go out every Monday morning like it used to. (The lesson learned… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!)
If you decide that you don’t like the newsletter this way, then you can cancel your subscription by sending a blank email to Remove@TomorrowsEdge.net. We won’t ask you why and you don’t have to tell us if you don’t feel like it. (Yes, even negative feedback is appreciated if you chose to share it.)
So anyway, thank you all for putting up with all of our growing pains for yet another year and for not throwing stuff at us when we screwed up. I know I don’t always respond to the wonderful emails, notes, and letters that many of you send, but please know that they mean the world to me and they are what keeps me going on those days when I am ready to throw my computer through the window and give up and quit.
I’m inspired to write again and am looking forward to wonderful positive things in the new year.
take care,
Skye Thomas

Feature Article of the Week:
The Dawning
It’s New Year’s Day 2007 and half of my household is still asleep from last night’s festivities. The skies are grey as I look out my window trying to tie a rope around some wayward thought that haunts my mind and begs to be put down on paper as this morning’s feature article. The birds seem to be coming back – huge noisy black crows this time and they create such a distraction as I try to concentrate on not thinking so that I can let go and allow this to flow as it is meant to and not as I might force it to. And the word comes through and it calls to me like an old childhood memory from somewhere in the back of my cluttered unorganized mind – integrity. This is the year that “integrity” stood tall. That’s what they’ll say about 2007.
A couple of years ago, a group of like-
This year, I am asking on a larger scale… pray for “integrity.” Let’s bring integrity to the forefront of everyone’s mind. Why integrity? Why not compassion, or love, or justice, or peace, or enlightenment, or some other perfectly lovely concept? Because it is time for integrity. Everything has its time and its season – and this is the season of integrity.
What is integrity? Morals, ethics, honesty, a predefined right from wrong? Yes and no. Integrity does not need a religious figure to threaten eternal retribution. Integrity does not need a moral majority to define itself. Integrity does not stand rigidly labeling things black or white. Integrity is an energy that flows through us. When I get an add for subliminal advertising telling me that I could hypnotize my readers into buying whatever product or service I tell them to buy…. and without the fear of a god’s anger, without a government telling me it is illegal, without my children looking over my shoulder waiting to see which path I take… I decide instantly and alone that I will not be using that method of advertising. Integrity is saying, “No, if I am to lead them somewhere, then I want them to have their eyes, their hearts, and their minds wide open and aware. I don’t want to trick them into following me down some path that they may not even recognize or need.”
Maybe it’s the Capricorn in my birth chart. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m over forty
years old now. Maybe it’s because I have teenagers watching me and making me walk
my talk. Maybe it’s because my words find their way into desktops all over the world.
Maybe it’s because unity, harmony, and music are theme words that I wish were more
prevalent. Whatever the reason, to me the definition of integrity is “doing the
right thing, because it’s the right thing to do” not because someone told you “It’s
The Law and therefore you MUST do the right thing whether you like it or not.” Integrity
is simply self-
You cannot self-
Integrity is those decisions we make when nobody is around to see us. Integrity is the choices you make when you forget to be afraid of an angry god. Integrity is how you conduct yourself when you are absolutely certain you won’t get caught. Integrity is the authentic real you. Integrity is your real code of ethics that you pick and chose minute by minute of each and every day. It has nothing to do with religion or politics or fidelity or leadership – but when it’s missing from these areas of our lives, then everything falls apart. We cannot live to achieve our highest good, if we are not keenly aware of integrity and the truth of who and what we are.
As individuals, as families, as businesses, as governments, as countries… I challenge each of you, all of us… to look at integrity and what it means to us as a people on this planet. Without integrity there can be no real trust, no real harmony, no real unity. In astrology, Aquarius rules over networking and connectivity. The Age of Aquarius is all about having an “all for one and one for all” mentality. Without integrity, that cannot happen. So this year, I pray for “integrity” to reveal itself and to stand tall.
