GREETINGS for the Holy-days, our end of the year update,

First, we are thankful for the opportunities and blessings of this past year and look forward to 2023. We both have experienced Covid twice (December 2021 and July 2022) and recovered well with an upgrade to our health.

We continue to live in Bristol, VA/TN (please note our new address is Post Office Box 1901, Bristol, TN 37621) and we remain advocates for Jeanie's Dad who has now had to go into assisted living. The Covid in Dec 2021 advanced the symptoms of his Parkinson's and Dementia and he no longer can walk. We visit him several days a week and do what we can to assist his mental and physical well-being.

We still care for Arya Reign Shaw (our granddaughter) 2 - 3 days a week, part time now as she is in pre-kindergarten. We believe she is enlightened far beyond most people not just 4-yr olds. She is primed to be a true healer and is an awesome teacher for us, to remain as BEING (LOVE).

We gained another granddaughter in September 2022, Michael Jay and Jami Ryce brought Kaylee Jo into the world. We were able to go spend 10 days with them in Kansas City, MO in October. She is a true light as well.

Christa and Aaron Poole have two beautiful girls Adeline and Avery (they are now 11 & 2) and they still live in St Louis, MO. We were able to spend a few days with them in October as well during our trip northwest.

Rylie and Jacob Shaw (Jeanie's step-grandchildren, 13 & 9) live in New Jersey and we have not been privileged to spend much time with them.

We wish we were closer to all of our grandchildren to be an influence in their lives and vice-versa but that is not the case.

We took a much needed vacation the last of August for the first time in 5 years - no agenda and lazy beach time. And then we found there was a natural Hot Springs about and hour and half from us here in Bristol so a couple of weeks ago we took a weekend trip there to just soak in the minerals.

HeartLand, our teaching center in MO, saw it's last summer season in 2019. It was a full season for michael (Jeanie stayed in Bristol to care for Dad and Arya) but then Covid happened early 2020 and we have not reopened. And we are not traveling, so our finances have felt the strain. Yet the expenses go on there: the upkeep and taxes and such, one building needs a new roof asap. We have started a HeartLand Maintenance Fund Raiser to help us with those needs. Go to our website at https://whyagain.org/heartland-maintenance-fundraiser/

michael did a Laws of Living intensive at a center near Bristol in 2020 before Covid hit, since then we have done services, workshops and intensives via Zoom and it has worked well. For example the monthly StillPoint Breathing membership, the book club and the radio show. We have converted our DVDs into streaming MP4s for a lesser price to you the consumer. Lots of changes in the way we do things.

We have the HeartLand Aramaic Forgiveness APP that is FREE and continues to expand, please update your version to get all the newest components. AND, we created two NEW videos to help navigate both the website and the APP. Check it out https://whyagain.org/instructional-videos-to-navigate-website-and-app/

We are distributors of a profound wellness device called the AVACEN. It is a medical device, non-invasive, through patented thermal therapy and microcirculation enhancement, is cleared by the FDA for pain relief and muscle relaxation. We use it daily ourselves and have seen powerful results. It is like a physical form of forgiveness. Listen to dr michael ryce explain the impact of the AVACEN on the Para-sympathetic Nervous System (MP3 format, 24 minutes).

See details below or contact michael or go to our distributor page www.AvacenMedical.com/MindHeartandBeing.

As of December 2022, we have a volunteer from the bookclub wanting to translate "Why Is This Happening to Me ... AGAIN?!" into Mandarin (Standard Chinese).

We are excited with all that is happening as the work moves forward. Michael is doing more podcasts and interviews and you can find those links under MultiMedia and News on our website.

If you haven't visited our YouTube channel PLEASE DO SO: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelRyce_WhyAgain. Another way of supporting us is to subscribe and click "like" when you watch a video. YouTube will monetize our channel but we must meet their criteria. First we need 1,000 subscribers and right now we have 963 (so close). While we have had over 47,000 views on our channel many of our videos are short (10 min or less). However we have now added the Book Club archived videos and several workshop videos which are a couple hours each. To be monetized, YouTube requires 4,000 hours viewed and we don't have near that. It will support you in learning and us financially if you click on a video and stay there for more than a few minutes, stay for an hour viewing and click "like". This doesn't cost you any money, just time, and it gets us closer to YouTube financially supporting our work.

Someone said we include too many items in our newsletter but what interests one person may or may not be of interest to all so just click and read what you resonate with. We either include as much as we can in one newsletter a month or we send multiple emails and then people don't read or complain because their inbox gets overloaded. This is our choice of how to best get it all to you. Read it in more than one setting (and do worksheets) if you tend to go into overwhelm.

We hope your homes are filled with Love and Laughter and that your Holy-days are Blessed. michael & Jeanie
