Goddess Guidebook: Final Words for 2009

Goddess...it took me a while to get enough gumption to close out 2009.

I know I was holding on to a lot of the negative feelings that were associated with last year.  But the last two pages of the 2009 section really helped me see 2009 for all that it was.

Before I share the last two sections I've worked on, I wanted to explain (mainly for myself) why it took so long for me to get to this point.

2009 had a lot of ups and downs, lots of changes, huge confessions, sarcophagi flies, and new lives.

Truly, a lot to process.  A lot of the negatives were so heavy, they linger longer in my thoughts.  But the little positives were also there, just cloaked behind heavy fabrics.

All my gratefulness on 2 pages

For our holiday card this year, my boyfriend and I celebrated all the experiences that 2009 brought to us.  It was almost like I knew I needed to be able to reflect on this as a constant reminder of all the amazing things that happened last year.  Putting them together in a collage really helped to put 2009 into perspective even before I realized it needed to be put there.

My Final Words

As stated in my letter, I'm hoping that I can still continue to process all that was handed to/dropped on me, and that I can continue to learn from those experiences as well.

Now, 2010, I think I'm finally ready for the adventures you'll bring.  Can you hold my hand first?  Just for a couple of steps until I find my footing?  Thank you.
