The Small Is Beautiful Manifesto

31 December, 2007

Wrapping up 2007... Here comes 2008!

Well, those of you who have read my blog this year, would realize there was a very stretched and tattered mystik momma on the other end of this monitor. I would say 2007 was the worst year of my life and I never want to repeat it. I do acknowledge there were lessons learned and happy memories made, but I also know they came at high costs to several parts of my life.

Areas that were affected: intimate relationships, family bonds, childhood upsets, personal health, physical living accommodations,finances, job security and potential raises, broken promises, automotive problems, loss of a child, and the list goes on. Truly, the mishaps and sacrifices this year put me over the edge and it took all my strength to hold onto the good things I do have.

I recognize I have many good things. I do have shelter, transportation, food, my health is finally back, my two boys smile every morning and give me a ton of love, and my husband has been a protector and dreamer with me. There are many who do not have these in their life and I recognize I am blessed. I also have many friends who have been able to support me without my asking. They knew exactly what to say and for a person who tries to do it all on her own, what a HUGE support they are to me. I cherish them dearly.

2008 is full of change and promise. I feel the shifting of energy coming. We are ready for it and accept the newness it brings. My husband and I plan on perusing through several magazines with our boys tomorrow to find pictures and words that describe what we want our life to be. We are making our dream board tomorrow as a family to place the power of positive creative thinking center stage in our lives. If we all hold the image in our heads and hearts, our souls and spirit will know what to attract. We truly want to find our place in this world and create a warm hovel to call our own. Something to feel security and love among the laughter and hope.

May 2008 bring you and yours the very best!
