End of the year reflections.
This is a special time of year, when we are gathered around our family and friends. It’s also a time of quiet reflection on what we’ve been through, learned and experienced throughout this last year.
If you’re a listener of my BlogTalkRadio show, you may recall as we crossed the threshold into 2011, I asked my guides what this year would bring in the way of lessons. The answer was, in no particular order, Relationships, Forgiveness, Tolerance and Family. It’s amazing, looking back, to see that these have really been at the forefront of everything that’s happened for me in the last year. *Note that I use the words ‘for me’ and not ‘to me,’ as everything that happens is for a higher purpose…even what we deem as bad or unnecessary!
Going through the process of my divorce over the past few months has clearly been a lesson in ‘relationship’ and ‘forgiveness’. I’m now back in Massachusetts with my family, which brings us to the fairly obvious ‘family’ and ‘tolerance,’ lessons. I could not have predicted everything that has transpired and frankly I wouldn’t have wanted to. I chose to come into this life to experience it, and that I have.
You may have noticed that my online radio show is on hiatus, and that my blog posts have been dwindling. The reason is simple. There comes a time in everyone’s life when we need to pull back, take inventory, and allow ourselves to go within to heal. The past couple of months have my time for that. As I’ve written in past posts, Bear is my totem animal, and Bear people often find themselves going into hibernation, retreating into their solitude. This is my time.
Although I’ve not been doing my ‘work,’ there has been a lot of other work that needed tending to, so it’s not as if I’ve been in total stillness. Like most of you, my focus is a moving target. I want to emphasize to everyone that during the times in your life when things feel most turbulent, it’s most important to continue doing your inner work. Continue your meditation practices and never forget that your Spirit people are there for you. My People have been so patient with me during this time of rebirth. I could not have made it through without my connection to them.
I anticipate an amazing year coming with lots of surprises for everyone. The planet is being reborn and all of us are gifted with being a part of its evolution. Continue living from the heart and always remember that when you come from a place of love it is impossible to make a mistake.
Blessings to all of you and I look forward to many new and wonderful posts coming in 2012~ Thanks for hanging in there with me! ~
With Much Love,
Nicole
