Something so lovely happened last night. I finally got to talk to my new friend that lives in Petaluma. We are sisters in this breast cancer journey, and she is an amazing woman. I have come to realize throughout this long road to health that I have been blessed with strong, beautiful women to guide me, inspire me, and support me. I don't know why I didn't figure this out much sooner. The relationships I have with the women in my life have sustained me through this difficult time. My next goal involving friendship is to stop playing phone tag with my new friend in Florida. I will talk to her by the end of the week.
Speaking of goals and learning, let's get to step 3 of our new year work.
Step 3:
Close your eyes and project yourself to 12/31/15. While in your meditative state, write down how you feel. Make sure this is done with gratitude for everything you feel and see for yourself, you career, and your life.
Here's my projection:
It's 12/31/15. I'm at home cooking a wonderful meal with all my loved ones around. It's a major party. All of my kids (including the ones I didn't give birth to) are here. My close friends and my parents drop in and out throughout the night. My house looks beautiful, shiny clean, and the kitchen has been totally remodeled just the way I want it. The backyard is landscaped, and the kids are hanging out around the firepit. Both of my cars have been fixed up just the way I want them. The Challenger has more HP, and the Expedition has been lifted and has really cool rims. I've had a great year at work and made a huge difference in the classrooms that I support, so much so that my contract has been extended for 5 more years. My blog has gone public, and many women have felt supported through their own journeys with breast cancer. Both men and women have also tried out the exercises I have posted and have found peace in their lives due to exploring their inner selves. I have written my first children's book, and it is being published. I feel healthier than I have ever felt before. I run, strength train, practice yoga, and meditate daily. My new boobs make me feel whole again, and I have started the tattooing process that will make them works of art even more than they already are. There is a special man in my life, and I have never felt so loved or so accepted. I can't wait for 2016!
That was so much fun! I can see it!! This gives me something to aim for. I'm going to read it every day, so that I remember what I really want and what that feels like. I really hope you try this out. You will feel amazing. I promise!
