Though my intention was to post regularly the reality is that I am just not that type of girl ... as one can clearly see by the absence of any posts in the last year. We'll see what eventuates this year but please don't hold your breath waiting, just in case I falter once again.
I thought however I would make a start and share with you something out of the current book I am reading .... "A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences. Piece by piece, those decisions help to form the people we become." I love reflecting on words like this and applying it to my life, or at least seeing how it can be applied, because obviously the choices/decisions we make not only help form the people we become but also touches those around us.
Throughout 2018 I was fortunate to have held many Grief Recovery workshops as well as one-on-one sessions and I continue to be grateful that not only am I able to share these tools with others but I use them on myself. Let's face it, it would be silly to rave on about how great the program was if I didn't go through the process myself. As recently as last week I had to sit down and work through the recovery components to complete the pain of a loss associated with my work. Sometimes I can be a little slow though so I wallowed for a couple of week and grieved a lot until finally I decided enough was enough and began doing some work on myself. When going through the process it became very clear to me how "pride" (my pride in my achievements) was a stumbling block. The decision I made to complete the pain of the loss and the choice to honestly work through it provided me with more clarity and peace than I have had in weeks. A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences.
I trust as you go into 2019 that you are able to look positively at the series of little lives you have every day and that you see them full of challenges and adventures and that you live them with no regrets.
Please feel free to message me about the Grief Recovery Method program should you be interested or know of anyone who may wish to begin their journey towards completion of pain and loss.
With a heart hug to all, Doreen
