The Christianville Spirit
The Spirit that Inspires The Soul
January 2nd, 2025 – TCS # 883
Welcome Back, My Readers from an Amazing Holiday Season! Time to Get back in Our Routines Again! As do I!
It is Always My Honor to Welcome You to Another Year of Uplifting, Compassionate, and Inspirational Newsletters to come! But, First, Happy New Year and Welcome to 2025!
Ah Yes! 2025! I feel like This is a Scene from a Movie in which You are at a Party with Your Close Friends but, like that That One Friend was Invited that You, Your Yourself have Never Met but, Your Best Closest Friend who's at The Party says that Their Cool but, Your Still not Sure. Think of This as Sort of an “Introduction”, Your Friend says! Well, That Friend literally showed up annnd Is at The Door Right Now!
It plays out like This:
(Knock at The Door) Hey Y’all! It’s Me, 2025!
Then People start clamoring for like a 5 Minutes (that seems like Forever!) Dishes Clanking, The Hosts are like “Honey?! Where did The Gouda Cheese Go?!”, and The Guests are Gossiping Loudly
And, Then, 2025 Comes In The House and
It Seems like The House goes Stunningly and
Deafeningly Silent for like a Minute and a Half (Which is like Forever in This Instance, At Least to a Person like Me!). People are Whispering and Wondering, Who’s gonna make The First Move! I’m sitting there, thinking, “Good Lord, Can Someone just say Something?!”. And, then, The Joker of The Friend Group (who was Outside during All The Commotion earlier), They come up and like “Oh Hey! It’s 2025! Welcome!” .
That’s It?! People whisper.
The Joker Friend, Let’s call Him Sam.
(Sam) Hey 2025! Do You want to hear a Joke?!
(Sam Continues) What is Funnier than 2024? 2025! HAHAHA
(Editor Note) This is a Spongebob Reference that Young People like Me did not Realize would be So Funny. But, I’ll admit that When I told My Mom This Joke on New Year’s Day, I laughed Hared than I realized
The Whole House erupts into Laughter. And, Yes, In Case You are wondering, 2025, “Honey” found the Gouda right after that.
After that, The Friends Group was like, “Come on in 2025!”
Sam, The Joker and Apparent Peace Keeper of The Friends Group, Let’s adjourn to The Fire Pit and Let’s get to Know Each Other!
Oh and (To The Hosts) Put on some 80s Music, but not too Loud, Okay?!
“Honey” is on It!
(Sam) Oh and Get some S’mores! We can tell 2025 some Campfire Stories!
The Rationale Person of The Group, We’ll call her, Jen.
(Jen) 2025! We’re not Sure about You, right now. But, like Grab a Seat! Here, Have a S’more, They’re Really Good!
The Party Continues and Sam assures us that 2025, will be a Good Friend to know, Laugh, and Joke Around with. And, Yeah, They are Rationale Friend too, so Don’t Worry, Okay, Jen?!
Seriously, Welcome to The Gang, 2025, can’t wait to get to Know You and Have some Good Fun!
So, Let’s Start with The First Order of Business to Open a Year, The Tagline of My Newsletter, The Christianville Spirit.
It has a Tradition here at The Christianville Spirit since This Newsletter started to do a Tagline after The Title of The Newsletter, as You see above in Every Newsletter that I write. For a Long Time, It used to be just a Tagline. Well, Not JUST a Tagline. But, at The Time, It was. It was a Tagline to make My Newsletter cool. After a Few Years, after I followed another Tradition of Polling Friends and Family for New Taglines, It kind of took a Life of It’s Own. My Taglines started becoming The Theme of My Newsletter that Year and More on The Theme of That Year.
So, Of Course, It goes without saying that The Year 2025’s Tagline is The Spirit that Inspires The Soul.
This Tagline was a Last Minute Entry, that is Credit to My Mom’s Gal-Pal Linda (Code Name: G.P Linda)... Actually, This a Co-Shared Entry, because It is Credited to Both of My Mom’s Gal-Pals, G.P Linda (Of Course) and Gal-Pal, Diana (Code Name: G.P Lady Diana). by The Way, Refer to The “My Friend, G.P Linda” Newsletter, You have not heard Me talk about Her. And, Yes, I probably should do a Newsletter about “G.P Lady Diana”.
What does that mean? Or What does that Theme mean?
Well, The First Thing that come to Mind, is that Sometimes, The Human Body (or as Dr. J-D calls it “The Meat Suit”) gets Inspired but, The Soul, which is Inside “The Meat Suit” doesn’t. I have heard that You know whatever You just Read or Heard reaches The Soul because It is like You feel a Big Pull on Your Heart. Honestly, Alot of People whenever This Happens, They don’t know what to Know or Even how to React to that. Do You Cry? Do You Laugh Awkwardly? Or Maybe, You are, “Okay, What was That?!”. Some People even Crash for a Minute because They don’t know how to deal with that. In All Honesty though, We should have Some Moments where Our Soul is Inspired because In This Weird, “Ugly Crying” Moments, is even When We feel most Alive in Our World. In Life’s Storyline, In a Way, It kinda gives us all Purpose.
Ya Know, as Much I don’t like seeing People upset, I know that There are Times when I know that I am Inspiring of PTLS Family Members when They see that I am doing Just Fine; I am Walking, Talking, Socialable, and Capable of Many Things that I set My Mind to. Do I let People Pity Me? No! And, Will not accept Anyone in My Life who does! Do I let PTLS Define Who I am? Nope. I am aware that I have PTLS, It is One of My Identifiers (My Term to mean, that You know that It’s Me that You are Talking to and/or want to get to Know) but, PTLS is Part of Me and I’m part of It, but, It does not Define Me! And, I would like to Believe, that is One of The Many Things (Trying to sound Humble here!) in which I Inspire The Soul of People and Honestly, It is what I love Doing. And, Bonus! You feel Good when You Inspire The Souls of People. And, Who knows, Maybe The Person that You are Inspiring, Can Inspire You! It’s a Win-Win!
Now, One More Order of Business to Take Care of Opening The Year! It is another Tradition here at The Christianville Spirit. Every Year, I Make Goals with The Best Heart in Mind Goals with Love, Heart, and Of Course, with Giving.
I have Learned that You can plan Goals and Destiny at The Time, says “Not Yet”. So, Maybe I should have My Goals more toward Where I want or Believe that Destiny wants me to go. I will still have My Goals but, This Year I am Letting My Angel Director of Destiny and Of Course, My Guardian Angel lead The Way because They know Where I am headed and Not what I want but, What I need!
So, Here are My 2025 Goals with Love and Belief in My Heart!
++++ I Know, I said This Last Year but I feel It is Time that I Deserve to be with My Forever Romantic Person. It is Formal Term that could mean Soulmate, True Love, or Life Partner. Soulmates are rumored to Come, Give You Lesson, and Leave. At Least, That is a Theory that I heard. A Forever Romantic Person is The Kind of Love that makes you Complete as well as Love that You can perfect over The Years. Love that makes you Fall in Love over and over, and You never get Tired of It; that Laughing at Something really Mundane kind of Love; Lay Underneath The Christmas Tree together or like Laying on The Grass looking at The Stars, with only The Christmas Lights at Night kind of Love; Singing to Our Favorite Song kind of Love; and, The Kind of Heart that will Love You No Matter what You look like or What You are doing kind of Love! Someone that is as Christina Yang of The TV Show, Grey’s Anatomy said “You're My Person”. Director of Destiny, “Ma Take The Wheel” with This One!
++++ Personal One: Quit Accepting “Fake Love” as Being Okay with It! Seriously, People should Love Me because They genuinely want to, Not because They have to.
++++ Maybe have Faith’s Daughter teach me to Paddle Board. I would believe that Faith, herself, would still want me to at least try it.
++++ And, Finally on The PTLS Front,
2025 is The 18th Year since PTLS was Named and The 12th Year since The PTLS Foundation was Started! So, I will assist The PTLS Foundation in My Own Way! Support My Young Adult PTLS Friends, and Of Course, Believing in and Inspiring PTLS Family Members and Friends!
So, Those are My 2025 Goals! Kind of Hard to set Goals after a Few Rough Years! However, I am looking forward to a Year of Inspiring The Soul, A Year of Big Events, and A Year of Happiness and Good Things! Welcome 2025! We have been waiting for You!
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. May 2025 be filled with Soul Inspiring Events. Inspire The Soul!
