How long a year can be?

A year ago I started a blog about how I was going to find myself but I couldn't talk about it or write about it because it was such a personal journey.  Needless to say I went to the edge and almost didn't step back. 

Now with many of my powers back and the future being neither a forgone conclusion nor a complete mystery, I can blog about life from a different perspective.

In the last year I learned:

•  I do believe in vampires.  Not the blood lust ones from the books and movies but the kind that suck the energy and life right out of people until they are all but dead.  These are people who give nothing back to society, relationships or humanity.  They take but never pay for what they are given freely. 


• I also learned that I am stronger than I ever thought I could be.  Grief and loss takes time to heal and each of us does it in our own time and in our own way.  It can take years or I may die trying to heal from some loses and that is okay too.


• I am not my job nor are my colleagues my family.  It is work.  I get paid for it and no amount of pay is worth the pain some jobs can cause in a life.


• I can not do everything alone, as much of a super woman as I want to be...I can not, we need one another for support.


• I am fragile like very thin glass but strong like titanium.


• I remembered how to cry.


• I remembered how to forgive.


• I am blessed daily, hourly and every second.  Each breath I take is a gift and a prayer all at the same time.


• I am grateful for life, and being able to live like there may not be a tomorrow.


• Dis-ease is something many of us manifest because of self-hatred.  I refuse to hate myself for my past, my present or anything I do in the future.  I have always done the best I could with what I have been given.


• True Love is unconditional and should never be taken for granted.

Rejoice with me during this holiday season...for I have learned much and more.
