A New Year....

Yes it's 2012.  But what does that really say?  It's just another year right?  On December 31st we think that the next day will be different.  That the new year will hold promise and great beginnings.  But does it?  We look outside ourselves for so many things..things that never materialize and then we get angry or disappointed that they didn't.  But are they really outside of ourselves?  Aren't we the Master of our lives?  Don't we get to choose what happens or doesn't happen?

I often wonder....I love all the Law of Attraction stuff.  I'm sure you've noticed.  And I love the Ho'oponopono teachings that I am undertaking but when the bad stuff hits.....what do we do?  We go through the initial stages of "what the heck just happened" and you sit there in the crud of it and wonder what to do next.  Then you pull your hair a little and vent at the Universe (if you're anything like me) and then you sit and realize that it's all up to you and that no magic lamp is going to fly down from the sky for you and fix everything.  And then you start to move towards fixing whatever is going on or just dealing with whatever is going on.

Some of us, lately, have gone through some horrific things.  Do I have all the answers as to why these things have happened?  I do not.  Am I going to sit here and tell these people that because of them...these horrible things happened?  I am not.  I wouldn't want someone to tell me that or even to insinuate it.  Bad things happen.  And until the dust is settled and the pain is weakened, we can't see the silver lining in it.

So...if you're wallowing in something right now.  Wallow.  No one should judge you for it.  And if they do, they don't really deserve to know about it.  Your life is your life.....do with it what you will.  Are you angry?  Be angry then...be the best angry you can be.  It's ok....it will pass.

I wonder often....when I am gone...will my being here have made the planet a better place?  Was I part of the solution or part of the problem?  I hope for the former....we do our best.  We take each day as it comes and we continue to look for the silver lining.  After all...we are only human...I am only human.  I do what I can......and I'm sure you do the same.

May this year be a better year for all of us....
