I hope it's less awful than you fear and better than you wish for, in manageable ways, of course. 

Just seeing this...

To you too Brother...

Thank you, ebone. 

... and to you. I am interested to know how 2015 was for everyone? Check in...

@ebone - Happy New Year to you too.

@Mystress - 2015 was a lot of painful but necessary growth - humbling, exhausting, and yet life-affirming!

As I focus on grounding, spark, Goddess has it handled and surrender, I feel better.  Things  change and continue getting clearer and easier for me.  I'm getting what I need and more of what I want.  The lessons become concrete, more real. 

I'm finding that as I do regular energy maintenance, I'm less bound by other people's stuff.  I inhabit a larger, more robust space and am more flexible.  I like that.  It's getting easier, too, to make my way in the world while being grounded and mindful.  Enjoying the benefits of that, too.

I'm seeing more clearly, especially when I'm mindful, that I don't compete with others.

Grieving personal loss, underscored by the recent loss of my dear, beloved sister.  She was a blessing to many and did a lot of good.  And, the recent diagnosis of serious illnesses in two cousins.  Also accepting and surrendering that the closeness of a formerly close friend and colleague continues being focused elsewhere.
   
Am more uplifted and empowered from FST chats.  I've come away with more knowledge, insight and skill, more balanced and with my grounding deeper and larger.  Plus, the value and benefits of hanging out with Mystress cannot be measured.

 

@ Sigmund- You're welcome!

@ Gopi- Thank you very much.

@ Mystress- I accomplished most of what I set out to experience, mainly self sufficiency. Ma has provided every step of the way. So many times in fact that now, whenever faced with anything, I do not panic. I surrender to the present knowing that all is handled. If I an meant to experience something nothing can hinder it. It has made life much easier and I am grateful. The greatest lesson of this year has been to be clear about what I want, continue the "work" and embrace what comes, without stress. In this next year, I want to discover exactly what I am meant to do with my life. I want to make a living for myself that centers around my relationship to Ma that allows for me to work from home and control my time.

Also, my ego is begging me to ask humbly, Mystress, if I am ready.

Tried to hold it as long as I could...

*shrugs*

Love to all...
