Gratitude for 2024

The month of December went fine. And by that, I mean it kind-of was ‘regular’ for me, and us. Well, it started off that way! We weren’t having the holidays with kids, as this is the ‘off’ year (where they spend it with significant others’ fams). So, it started-off as a mellow month but two weeks in – plans changed.

Now, we are suddenly going to travel and hang-out with some family that will be several hours away. We start to feel the ‘scramble’ to get some things done… or all-the-things done because we haven’t done anything!! We were staying home; thus, it was chill, casual, and nothing needed to be ‘done’.

At this same time – our dog started to really show the signs of being ‘old, sick, and tired’. We lovingly call him old-man and these last couple of months – he’s been proving this title pretty accurate. We are taking things one-day-at-a-time with him because, to me, the signs are obvious: he has decided it is time to leave planet, the process has definitely begun. I fully know and believe that pets come and go through our lives – not just to teach us things, and for growth - but for their soul growth as well. I feel that his contract is up. I have accepted this with the cats, our sweet boys, who have passed-on; as well as all our pets we have had over the years. Their sweet souls bringing unconditional love to us is such an amazing thing to experience.

As for Solstice – We did get dumped-on with about a foot of snow right before! Then the warming and melting right after! Makes for quite the mess! It’s been a few years, for us, to be home and NOT traveling on the actual solstice. I, personally, was loving it! And immediately I was like: I can tell it’s already staying lighter longer! LOL! It was also, most definitely, the light bouncing off all the white snow! I don’t care what the ‘science’ might have been in regards to all that – the feeling and vibes of good-mood and already feeling ‘lighter’ as the frequencies shift (during a solstice) was strong!

As for the year as a whole… I really did have a great year! It was really nice. It did start off rough in the spring – when I did lose my precious Mo-kitty! That sweet boy… love him! It made this year a little different in various ways. I really noticed it this summer, when I didn’t have any garden-buddies hanging out with me. And we both noticed it all year – when we had to actually set mouse traps in various places and spaces! The passing of time throughout the months was adjusting to the emptiness of officially no cats, it did take a while, and it still affects me. I miss the cats and not having one around… but we’ll wait until later next year sometime – and just see how the flow goes for us.

Since I am always in a state of working on any/all healing aspects (when they pop-up for me); when I tackle them right then and there (or sometimes… it takes a few months) – it brings a next-level, a new layer, of liberation, freedom. This always brings new growth, deeper Self-love, appreciation and consciousness expansion. It truly is: priceless!

When processing the Self, everything around you becomes lighter and life can be in flow; better flow, better places and spaces. I am not saying I wasn’t hitting speed bumps this past year – because, I was! Hello right foot and ankle!! But the desire to dig deeper with any issues is where healing can begin. I struggled with my right foot/ankle for the entire second half of this year but I continually observe - and want to gain a deeper understanding of wtf is going on here???!

I am working the levels and layers of the TLC needed for healing my right side, in general, because it’s not just about the foot and the ankle. That is just where the ‘straw broke the camel’s back’. As this year was/is closing out – I continue to notice improvements and this makes me happy! And happiness spreads! <3

Thank you December. Thank you 2024. Thank you Body. Thank you Earth. Thank you God and Universe.

Onward and upward into 2025! May it be blessed! <3
