Happy Boxing Day!! How is everyone today? I hope Santa was good to everyone and that you all had many blessings. I was thinking about this past year and the lessons I have learned. While I have had many blessings and cherished moments, it still has been full of loneliness, grief, heartache, rejection and disappointments. I sometimes amaze myself with my strength and the ability to carry on in a good way despite the negativity in my path and the people who put it there. I often do not understand the hatred or negativity some people feel towards me. Its okay though, to deal with it, I have learned to do a self evaluation. Did I say something hurtful or mean spirited? Were my actions and behaviors out of line? If the answer is yes, then I own it. I do that by swallowing my ego pride and making amends as best I can. I am not perfect and I sometimes hurt people. It is never my intent but I guarantee those I hurt, if we can work through the pain, if you can forgive me for my mistakes, our friendship will only deepen and strengthen. We will develop healthy boundaries and have a friendship that is real and true and built upon the seven grandfather teachings ~ honesty, respect, truth, love, humility, bravery & wisdom. If the answer is no, then I will not take the negativity projected towards me personally. I used to do that a lot in the past and its a more painful and destructive path to walk. My big ego, eh, thinking its all about me. Lol. But its not always about me and its not for me to guess their story. I just know they have one and they hurt somewhere so I forgive and pray for them instead. Its the only thing I know to do that gives me peace. I dont need to be liked by everyone but I will still respect and honor others spirits, even if they choose not to like me. Id rather send them back some positive healing energy and carry on with my life. :) I know if it were not for my family, close friends and my knowledge, respect and understanding of the spirit world, this path I have been walking on would have surely caused me to stumble to the ground more than once in the past year. Everyday I have had blessings, despite the negativity I sometimes felt. Paying attention to the little things really has brightened up my path as well. My grandchildren are amazing and really shine a bright light for me since the passing of mom. The things I do with Ashley and her children, I remember mom doing with me and mine. I am grateful for the teachings mom passed down to me, she taught me how to love, forgive, understand, trust, care, share empowering stories and help others. I am blessed because of her.
