Welcome 2015!

 

As I sit still and reflect on 2014, I feel that I must pay homage to the hardships and struggles that many of us have had to endure.  I give thanks, and I bless these struggles with love, in order that I may learn and grow from them.

My friend of 25 years lost her husband in May and my Mother passed in July.  There were many deaths this previous year, for many people, giving pause to a lot of grieving.  Societies around the globe are crumbling under the weight of such sadness and lower vibrating energies.

I found myself swimming in the murky pools of shame and embarrassment.  Shame because I had considered myself to be a loyal friend and a loving daughter.  After these two losses, however, I found that I may have been just the opposite.  I got caught up in myself, my plans, my life, only to learn again, that all we have is this very minute.  I had to take a huge step backwards and allow myself time to grieve and to allow my heart to heal.

I don’t believe we ever truly “get over” the loss of a loved one… we simply learn to go on.

And, so it goes, with the New Year upon us, I would like to take this opportunity to direct all of you to the truth of our being.

If you want love, you must be love.

If you want peace, you must be peace.

If you want gratitude, you must be gratitude.

If you want trust, you must be trustworthy.

You get the picture.  Anything you are wishing for in this life, you must be. This is the law of attraction.

May your New Year be filled with perfect health, abundant wealth, and more joy than you have ever known!

Happy 2015 Everyone!  --Mai Calev
