2022 – a year in reflection

Reunited with eldest sister after being estranged for seven years

Big birthday milestone – 50!

Reexamined my desire for my own family

Released my sense of responsibility for mom’s happiness

Closed a chapter with Russell

Made an intention for self care/self study with registration to vipassana course (had to postpone due to mom’s fall)

Three friends diagnosed with cancer

Lessons learned:

  1. Actions and Words must align to inspire trust in one self and trust with others.
  2. Let go of others who are already gone.
  3. Let go of my former self. I can’t go back to yesterday.
  4. Don’t follow. Lead my own way.
  5. Sometimes we have to retreat to reassess our position before we can move forward in the right direction.
  6. Being open to new ideas doesn’t mean that I accept every idea but that I entertain them.
  7. Our bodies are sacred and we need to live life fully present not knowing whether we will awaken the next day.
