Looking Back on a Rough Year

Wow what a year! So many blessings and challenges. Plus at times, feeling like we are totally in the unknown.

During the unknown is when we are challenged to pull from our Spiritual beliefs and ancestors the most. Ancestors, because in many cases these are the people and experiences that we have learned the most from. Whether it was time spent in prayer, playing games, being abused, abandoned, loved, adored, or misused, the experience brought us something to draw on for perseverance and persistence in all times of our adult life.

Now our experiences are talking with angels, finding soul parts, learning and knowing to love and cherish ourselves, as well as meeting people who love and cherish us. As we age and mature we learn the new aspects of being that help us pull the fortitude and love to overcome any challenge we face. My doctor just told me that I have taught her how to ask questions in a different way. She sees me as a woman who takes health issues in stride and often ignores some of the pain and information I need to share to get help. She calls me her tenacity patient because no matter what I am facing I just say, "Ok, another one to get through, here we go." This may not be the best way to be in terms of health but it is the way I have found not to crumble under medical and life challenges.

What is your way of dealing with the tough times? Do you need to go inward and be alone? Do you need to fall apart and get a lot of support around you? Do you ignore the situation until you cannot anymore? Do you embrace it, knowing there is no out for you?

What ever way you choose, know there is no wrong way. Deciding to move forward and embrace what is happening, not becoming the victim, empowering yourself is the key, however you approach it. The process is only that, a process.
