What a year 2012 was for me! I'd have to say my most memorable season(s) were Winter & Summer. My winter was actually The Philippines' Spring season (January-February 21, 2012) -- while it was cold and rainy out here in California, I decided to get away, spend time with my loved ones while basking in the warm Philippine sun. My grandma pulled through a health threat giving her a second chance at life. Allowing her to reach her 97th birthday on November 10th -- that in itself is a miracle. That carefree vacation from life and witnessing grandma's miraculous recovery set the tone for the rest of my year. This year I learned how to surrender in order to grow.
I ran into a few "roadblocks" through out the year which gradually made me permanently change my way of thinking from "why is this happening to me?" to "What do I need to learn from this situation?" This simple change helped me step out of the box and open my mind to discovering me hence loving myself completely. The spring season seem to level--only to anticipate what summer had in store for me. It was definitely a "Summer of Love" for me. I have to admit this past summer was eventful and one of the best since Chris died--for that, I'm thankful. As the summer came to an end, so did my summer love. I learned that I still had room for another in my life--and when the timing is right, Mr. Right and I will finally meet.
Fall brought me back to one of my fave "flings" - Vegas! I had the time of my life and there are some "normal" pics to show for it (so no, I didn't break the code ;o) Thus, I'll leave Vegas where it belongs...in Nevada, enough said. The Fall season brought with it newly weds, renewed love and just plain love in the air. Now, we are nearing the end of the year and as I've mentioned in one of FB status posts, in light of the bad, I still believe in miracles, in goodness.
So My Loves, I bid you all a very Merry Xmas and a Blessed New Year! My wish for You, as always, is Love, Light, Blessings & Compassion.
