Starting anew & love links

I'm starting anew
just twenty four hours a day
one day at a time ...



This has been the most difficult period yet since my love passed. I never knew how hard work grieving could be, it was just a word!  I thought it would be a process to get through not one that would keep re-surfacing in stronger, blacker surges... I recently had a lovely gift of words from my on-line sister friend who encouraged me via 'Wild Woman Mystery Cards' to take a stand with myself and acknowledge my power... Yes I did vow to be a 'warrior woman' I remember ~ Warrior Woman Detour but this trial has brought me to the ground... The wise card spoke about realizing our place in the world and turning our own power into action...
So I am starting anew taking some small action daily as my friend encouraged  to "let my power lead".  I have never given up on myself as each morning I am blessed with the most beautiful sunrises in my new abode which always reminds me to be grateful and I am for 'gratitude saves' hey? And so I continue to be grateful for my sweet sister friends here on-line, each one a link of love and with that in mind I would love you to trip on over to ~

 Gotham Girl Chronicles  who has published a beautiful post on 'trusting life's process and reaching out one person at a time...
Happy New Year to you all, my words are ~
 'stand in my power, trust the process, one day at a time'

Oh I know it seems unending! It's okay to be brought to the ground! Happens to me all the time :) It's okay to surrender and just allow life to be what it is for as long as it takes, because there is no other way... And try to rest in the womb of inner stillness and love that holds and embraces you, even in the darkest of times. I say pour your heartache out, let the tears flow. Don't try to bypass this experience, or be strong/powerful. Just be with however it is, as you say - day-to-day, one day at a time. Don't try to change it into something else. Let the grief take you where it wants to take you, where you need to go. The grief will show you the way, and will transform itself when *it* is ready... And gratitude will arise naturally...
Many Heart Hugs to you... Christine

Dearest Sue, yes, how grateful I am to have our paths intersect and carry us forward until we sit down together, either here in cyberspace or even some day in person! Starting new each day, I loved the quote from Thich Nhat Hahn on GGC about starting each day with a smile. Yes, to that too. Yes to where ever life takes me, as I pick myself up again and again and find that I have help all along the way... much love to you and your beautiful home that holds you!

What a beautiful posting to start the year Susan. I also loved reading what Mystic Meandering had to say too. I'm working on two years without my father...my very best friend ever...and even yesterday I found myself sobbing as I miss him so. So many memories...but I'm going to let those 24 hour periods guide me too. Thank you always for your visits and wonderful words. So appreciated. Here's to 2016 and I so look forward to following along!

A beautiful pink and yellow sky. It seems like a huge cotton candy.
I am beginning my 8th year after losing a twin daughter to an accident.
Grief never leaves one's heart, and I still have bouts of crying.
But its as it should be. Crying relieves the pain, so that we can
continue on with our daily life. Loss of a loved one definitely changes
a persons perspective, but we have to lay it all down on the new path we follow.
Heartache, unfortunately, is a fact of life. I am so sorry for yours. I send hugs.
Time does not heal without scars, but I promise you, time will make the hurt softer.

a trailblazer on the path of love.

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
