Cloudy with some bright periods

The past year has been cloudy, sometimes battling through thunderstorms but there have been many bright periods. When you have friends and family that believe in you, it’s an immense blessing and it is with gratitude that I thank those who have helped me weather the storms and celebrate the bright periods. There might be a few more cloudy days, but the sun will always shine.

Yes today, March 2 is exactly a year since my life changed, from having a job, being able to pay my way and enjoy life. Now there is no job, very little money and enduring stress created from a drastic change. A real life-altering situation, from all to nothing, but from all to the greatest blessing.

I do not think I would change this for the world, it might have been a lean year, but it was also a year of growing, learning, and endurance. Through the learning process, I have come to understand that life is not a competition but rather a process of realizing who I am. I am who I am, changed from a confused egotistical human being into the power of light. I have come to realize that it's not only me but every living being on earth that are all created in love and connected to the source of life. Thus, I found that love is the greatest force and through love, forgiveness is a blessing.

When I realized that my enemies are my best teachers, I grew and found the peace that passes all understanding. I found life, love, joy, happiness and above all, I found myself.

I know I still have a lot to learn and each moment will present an opportunity to grow and that my journey on earth is now an everlasting journey of peace.

I will always continue to pray for my fellow beings, even though some are still living in the "human being" state, they too will come to realize that they are a "loving being". Thus when we come to realize who we really are, universal peace will finally be grasped.

It is my prayer for all beings to accept who they are and live in the light.  We do know that many prefer the darkness, and are nothing more than prisoners of their own making.

Seek with all your heart, it is right inside of you and stay in the light.
