"Choosing Succulence is a deliberate act of personal revolution. It means waking up! Embracing your true self, studying your patterns and letting out your most alive self . We all have one!
(SARK~ Succulent Wild Woman)
I have gotten all my SARK books out and am feasting on them now. They make me smile, laugh, and believe in things that once upon a time, I would never have dreamed. It is a joy*full and wonder*full day!
I have a new haircut, my little car is full of gas, my larder is full of good things to eat, and my little sanctuary is clean, warm, welcoming, & cozy. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I have all my windows open and there is a slight breeze. I can hear leaves falling off the trees, it is a sublime sound.
Today is the 4th anniversary of my divorce and I intend to celebrate. (Not sure how yet, but it is going to happen! *LOL*) This has been such an incredible time in my life. I have said it before and I will say it (I’m sure) again, I am so grateful for my marriage and divorce from Michael. I know without a doubt, I had to go through it! I would not be the person I am or be WHERE I am if I had not had that gift.
I’m not saying it was easy by any stretch of the imagination. There was a great deal of pain, confusion, despair and at times feelings of complete hopelessness, Not only did I survive, I THRIVED!
My life now is not perfect! I have a few problems and dilemmas with which I am dealing, but I am happier now than I have ever been and that is extraordinary gift. I have such abundance in my life (again, which has nothing whatsoever to do with money). My heart is full, I have what seems to be a perpetual smile on my face, and I am at peace.
I bought my turkey last night…HUZZAH! I am starting my own tradition this year. I am going to have my very own Thanksgiving. Last year was my very first Thanksgiving all alone and it was horrible. Not to mention my oven died about an hour after putting the turkey in. THIS year, now that I have the first one over, I am ready to celebrate! I can fix all my favourite dishes, watch what I want, listen to what I want ….heck I may even treat myself to a movie(I really want to see Déjà Vu). I have so much to be thankful for this year!
Next weekend I will be decorating for Christmas and begin my baking. I have not done any holiday baking in years and I am just itching to get started!
Well, time to decide what to do to celebrate today. Have a marvellous weekend. Be sure to do at least one thing that makes you happy and brings you joy.
Love, Light and Laughter,
Ame
