Its been a sucky year, lots of disappointments and heart ache. - Tabi

Just because something works for every one else does not mean it will work for me and that I am different. The fact that I am different has been a recurring theme.

When a man says he loves you it always is a lie. Have a good year and I hope all you women gain man status, mentally as well as sexually.

life and death.

On the energetic plane, I received attunements in Golden Triangle, Ra-Sheeba, an initiation in Violet Flame. Especially the last one seemed to level the undulations in my daily life. But I found I resonate more with Ra-Sheeba. I joined various discussion groups on Yahoo, and found that there are people out there who want to help and heal others out of...Love, I guess.

On the human plane, I lost my father this year, and a few weeks back, we found out that my father-in-law has metastated cancer.

So, in short, this year has been one with ups and downs, in circular motions, just the way the Universe works. The most important in all of this, I believe, is to stay tuned in the present, and except that life is perfect...for all of us. in Love and Light

This entire year has been spent dealing with various health issues and still have some other things that are coming up. So, I should really be cleansed for the start of the new year and new beginnings. Have ended up in the Hospital 3 different times,1 surgery, 1 to go,fighting a staff infection that started in the sinus cavity and went down my whole right side causing my right bronchial tube to close, bacterial pnemonia, and settling in my liver,not good since I am a liver transplant patient. Now my right hip is disintigrating and the ball of the hip needs to be replaced. So this year.....a total patience tester and one that I am having a hard time handling. But I trust in the universe that all is in divine order and this coming year will bring much relief. - Jean

my last year has been very busy busy with online healing, my site of teaching spiritual development, volunteer work with psychiatric survivors, studying child psychology.

I have learned so much and hope this growth will continue next year,let gods angels guide you to perfect health.

MY LAST YEAR WAS ABOUT being pregnant for the first time late in life, pregnant with I still know not what ('pregnant pause', 'pregnant possibilities'). It was about the thought of birthing, and the ever-present reality of re-birthing...of having to choose my own 'adult' life, for which I still fight, over that of my 'damaged' child.

It was a year of difficult choices, and having to make them alone...and never being able to know if I made the right ones. Thus, it's also been of year of trusting, and then not trusting, and now having to learn to trust again ~ trust the Universe, trust the opposite sex, and most importantly trust myself. I don't know what is collectively being birthed into being with the Harmonic Concordance, since that is when my child was due...but those of us still here in this Dimension, who have endured our own labor pains, still have work ahead...the work of continuing to heal ourselves, to push through the postpartum depression, to more consciously create, to spiritually parent future generations into which we ourselves may yet be born... - Four-score Maiden ~ Childless Mother ~ Not-yet WiseWomanCrone

While thinking about how to respond to this request, a song popped into my head that pretty much described what has been happening in my life this past year.

"I can see clearly now the rain has fallen.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that passed me by.
It's gonna be a bright, bright, sun-shiney day."

It's been a year of clearing myself-of unhealthy people I was allowing to clutter my life; emotional baggage that I've been digging at for some time and fear-based resistance to new life paths, while longing for them all the same.

It's been about closing my eyes really tight, taking deep breaths and just jumping.

Although, I couldn't see anything or anyone there, the Universe was waiting with wonderful new people to add to my life who respect and support me; new and more highly developed skills and support for the life work and passions I was hiding under my basket.

I've had some huge emotional releases that might not have happened without this new direction. It feels very good to be on the other side and see hope that I might finally accomplish ridding myself of "other people's stuff" that I no longer want to hold for them.

The new people in my life became family in just a couple of weeks and I know they will be my spiritual and physical support forever.

When I look backward, I can see how the pieces to the puzzle fit and as I've become more attunded to my life, see the pieces approaching to fill in the gaps.

In the midst of this transformation, I received an e-mail that had (yes, another song) the words from Desperado."It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you. You better let someone love you before it's too late." I've hung it on my desk to remind myself to accept that into my life and try to stop doing it all myself-to depend on assistance from all the wonderful people that have been brought into my life. That's been a big one for me because it is connected with all the emotional stuff I was trying to dump...

And then, my Ah-Ha moment.... That's all we really need to do along our life path....see a little beauty and let our hearts be filled with bliss.

There will be no more looking over my shoulder. I'm increasing acceleration. I've still got a lot of work to do, but not as much as before......It is my intention that it be sun-shiney all the way! - Lillie Ruby

This year I lost my job with a new mortgage and 37000 debt...On the verge of divorcing because of debts --- Sooooo unhappy but comforted because I know this is a personal wakeup call from Spirit to seek a different path and rely solely on Spirit ... - Jeannie

THESE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN ONES OF CHALLENGE AND GROWTH FOR ME:

I HAVE LEARNED TO CHANNEL MY FEELINGS IN MORE APPROPRIATE WAYS; I HAVE LEARNED TO ACCEPT MY SELF AND OTHERS FOR WHO WE ARE; I HAVE LEARNED THAT MY ANGER CAN BE HEALTHY AS LONG AS I FIND PROPER WAYS OF EXPRESSING IT; I HAVE LEARNED THAT I AM A GOOD PERSON; I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS MORE THAN "OKAY" TO GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE, RESPECT AND KINDNESSES; I HAVE LEARNED THE ART OF BEING SECURE IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND; ALSO THAT A SEPERATION OF SORTS IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE;

I HAVE LEARNED THE ART OF BEING PATIENT; I AM LEARNING TO LISTEN TO AND TRUST MY INSTINCTS; I AM LEARNING TO ASK FOR AND EXPECT TO GET WHAT I NEED; AND IF I DO NOT GET IT, ACCEPT THAT WHATEVER I ASKED FOR WAS NOT RIGHT FOR ME IN THAT TIME ; THEN ASK TO RECEIVE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ON MY PATH; I AM LEARNING TO FORGIVE MYSELF AND OTHERS THANK YOU, JESUS AMEN :0)

IN 2004 I AM LQQKING FORWARD TO A BRAND NEW ME AND A YEAR FULL OF MY HOPES & DREAMS COMING TRUE BECAUSE I KNOW, NOW, THAT I DESERVE IT ! - ZAP

When I look back at all of the events that have occurred to me this year, I find myself ,asking the same question "How did I get through it". I sit back and I re-evaluate all the good things and all the bad. I do not imply that mine was the worst of everyone's, but I do know that I have learned a great deal. Not only about myself but also about the strength of my belief in God and my Angels.

When I find myself in that horrible deep ditch; so cold; so lonely; so dark. I look to obtain strength from my Angels and I pray to God. Please don't mistake me for a religious freak. I am far from that, but I have a deep emotional attachment to all that is beautiful.

I am a single mother with two very lovely children. My emotional attachment to this type of beauty has also been my saviour, as I owe it to them, my reason for removing the thought that has so often plague my tired mind, that the only solution to my life is to take my life. When I find myself having taking a few pain killers and a few glasses of wine, I need only to think of my children and my obligation to them. They need me here, they need my love, they need my support and guidance, and I have promised myself never to have thoughts of taking my life again!

This year has been a year of Soul Searching for me. A year where I was determined to find answers for which I have been asking the questions for a very very long time. Do not think it has been an easy year for me. I have had emotional and financial strain, and as I look back now, I smile to myself and say "you did it Sabrina". I have worked hard to improve my financial situations, my love life is great and I am doing something for myself! I am studying full time for 2 years. I am not a spring chicken anymore but "I am going to do it".

Through all my mistakes and events that I have endured, I have learnt to Never Give Up! believe in yourself and focus on what will make you happy. Most of all be a good person and show your love to the people dear to you. - Sabrina

this year has been one of great sadness and also great joy..lost loved ones and also great new friends and happy vacation time..a BLESSED wedding for my daughter and hope and faith for me..regrets about a war torn country and grief that doesn't seem to end..overall many things to be thankful for - PTL.MIRIAM

I just had to submit something for this. It's calling out to me. Even if you do not decide to use it, I wanted you to know how much you touched my life with your gifts.

I received my first reading by you and Rose in 1999. In that reading you talked about 3 very difficult steps I would need to go through, that would make me wonder WHY ME? Then the golden door opened and you saw me with a man, my true love, and things would be good from then on. You described this man and he did not physically match my then husband so I ignored the information. I received a similar reading in 2000, where you told me among other things that as long as I stayed in my house, I would not heal and progress as there was bad karma. You saw me in an apartment, at peace. Oh how I longed for that 'peace' ! And then another reading in 2001 where you saw me leaving a controlling man for someone who supported and truly loved me. And I kept ignoring these messages, plodding through my life feeling very much 'alone'...

When 2003 started my intuition 'knew' this would be the big year of changes. I knew I could not live in this state any longer. And once I made the decision to follow my intuition and not go against it any longer everything you read for me happened. I left my husband and it was very hard as he is disrespectful, violent and aggressive; but this new, wonderful man entered my life, he matched the description you read for me in 99, 2000 and 2001. I never knew what it was to truly love someone and be loved for who I am until now, in my 34th year of life. And it happened just as you said it would, that I would leave my controlling husband and the new man would help me heal, find peace and happiness and protect me. When you first told me this information I was very upset as this did not correspond to my 'principles', but I followed and trusted my intuition years later... I have changed so much this year, for the better, and things are getting better every day. It all started to happen when I decided to trust my inner voice.

Wendy, I take great comfort in the readings you have done for me in the past 4 years. So, my last year was about trusting my own intuition to guide me to make the best decisions for ME. This was a revelation and I am truly a much happier and more fulfilled person because of this. I know my Guides are looking out for me and am anticipating a happy, serene future after all the difficulties I have been through. Thank you so much for everything, - Annette

Courage. Simply out, that. It involved literally going to the far away China and back to the long-abandoned hometown. It was about trusting one´s impulses and intuition, accepting both the destructive and beautiful consequences. It was about watching a dark beach at sunset and crying due to the beauty of it, and crying after a painful experience on a dark hill.

Sometime nature nurtures and destroys. I went up Cerro Caracol ("Snail Hill") in Concepcion, Chile (where I have been living through some student exchange program since March) at least 6 times; the first 5 times were beautiful...

The last time I was raped. It was awful but sweet. It was at the moment of the full moon eclipse. November the 8th. It was unexpected, as all awful things seem to be, yet expected at the same time. And the man´s awful face was one I seem to recall having experienced many times with fear, far before the stupid senseless moment. In the end we went down the hill as friends. I had been studying profesional theatre in this provincial south american town since March, cultivating many things. And if nothing else, studying theatre taught me 2 things: 1) risk is the essence of everything and 2) everything must have a SENTIDO LÚDICO; meaning every last thing that happens to you must have an element of play in it. The dramatic sense of a moment, no matter how lovely or awful, quotidian or transcendent, is what makes it matter. Every small motion contributes. Every large situation defines the tone of one´s future experience.

One very useful thing a nice acting teacher taught me was to measure your physical posture above all else. When you are thoroughly exhausted, you must forcefully put yourself in a happier physical posture. Replace the slouch and the half-closed eyes with a brilliantly straight posture and wide-open, grinning eyes, You will find your own energy level rise in order to accomodate itself with your physical stance. Try it sometime, next time you feel destroyed by someone or something. I guarantee it works.

Which also reminds me of something I learned LAST YEAR, working as a Customer Service person for a credit card company, something one of those over-eager smarmy HR people tried to induce in us. Her words of wisdom: "A fake smile is better than a real frown". Later she expounded more seriously upon that theme. The minute you lock yourself into a frown, she said, you are immediately absorbing everything the poor credit card "loser person" is saying in a negative way. You digest everything the cardholder is saying precisely as they want you to absorb it. In other words, as they say down here in Sudaka Concepcion Chile, "mala onda". You in the end regenerate the "mala onda" and the whole thing sucks for everyone involved. But if you smile,. according to her, a whole metaphysical alchemical process takes place and things are bettered for everyone.

You learn that the awful things that happen to you are the same ole awful things you´ve been afraid of your whole life long, and once they happen they almost make you laugh cuz they are SUCH NOTHINGNES. Such nothingness compared to the fact tha you DO go on living, and go on laughing and loving in spite of yourself and all else. Nothing, because nothing, in the end, really happened to you. The only thing that happened you you was the STRENGTH card in Tarot, the one that lets you tame the beast with your own hands. In other words, the thing that lets you take advantage of the predator´s lack of control so as to turn it around, something to the effect of "if you can´t beat them, join them" but at a deeper level.

...the learnings of this year are far from over, and I have something like a month left. We´ll see what we shall see. In any case, I can´t deny it all has been extremely interesting, and furthermore, LÚDICO. And for that, at least, am grateful. Lauryn

• accepting that things happen for a reason, according to the grand scheme of things
• learning that you shouldn't take anyone or anything that is important to you for granted
• learning that every action has a reaction...that you should position your actions so that a positive reaction will occur
• recognizing that opionions are just a bridge to judgements
• acknowledging and thanking our heavenly source for the gift of our lives and our souls

My last year.....well, it was the best of times and the worst of times. I have had several surguries and have been quite ill for most of the year. I lost my job due to my medical problems.My husband now has been forced to work many hours of overtime just so we can make ends meet.

The only saving grace in all of this is that God and His Angels blessed us with a wonderful, joyous grandson a year ago in June. When I have felt like giving up, my grandson has been my inspiration and light. He has made getting out of bed in the morning a much easier task.

I was upset when I found out that my daughter was pregnant, it didn't seem like the right time for her. But, I've come to realize that our Creator works in magical ways. I know now why she had this baby boy, my grandson. He is my "little piece of Heaven here on Earth". Before he came into my life, there were days when I didn't want to go on living. All that has changed, thanks to God's miracle. Blessings to all for a wonderful new year, - CloudWhisperer

This past year has been one of the hardest years of my life....I lost my son, age 26, to the other side of the veil....

I live in a perfect little world that I created my self...I started a plant nursery on 20 acres about 15 miles from town...it is not only a plant nursery but gardens that attract hummingbirds and butterflies....we have rescued cats that entertain our customers....paths to follow..I can close out the world when I lock the gate...it was perfect to me...then I got the call ...I could describe it as someone pulling the rug out from under my feet...I ended in bed with bad stomach pains...so bad I couldn't eat or sleep...finally drug myself out and got some natural healing ...

as I laid in bed healing I came across a program I never saw before...The John Edwards show....I would watch it and cry and cry as I could relate to those people...I hurt so bad...why me...what did I do wrong...and so on and so on....I spoke to a medium who put me in touch with my son and I had no doubt in my mind that he was standing next to me in my house...he described my house to a tee and even loved the memory cabinet I filled with his things...I never met the medium in my life and we spoke over the net....since then I have become very spiritual...I am at the beginning stages of seeing my angels...I know they are with me all the time and are guiding me everyday...they are doing such a good job I listen to all their suggestions...they have made my life easier and my nursery more beautiful with each passing day....I joined a medium in learning group and received a message today that said a bald tree that had shed its winter leaves was trying to bend over and kiss me...a message from nature....

last night I got word that my sister has cancer now and have gone thru some quick shock and have received messages to battle the new obstruction with love...for myself and for my sister who needs my love more than ever now...the words that came from my son said "altho I miss you in the physical world...I am so happy here" came days ago and it lifted the pain in my heart, as what more could a mother ask for and I truly believe the message came in time for my next hurdle...for no matter what happens to my sister she will be loved on both sides of the veil..cherish every moment every in love for your self and everything and everyone in gods world... tomorrow may be to late...- LoveNLight Kathy

Today Dec. 1st, world aids day 2003, has been most challenging.With a continued response of tcells staying steady, this commerates for me 3 yrs off of all hiv medication. It was a hard decision but listening to my higher power or inner voice led me to go for it attitude!!! In addition, being Hcv (hep.C) I needed to focus on a healing for my liver. This completed I will now continue assisting where I may and living with vigor and hard earned stamina for as long as I possible can. I will lie with truth love and commitment to staying healthy and alive for as long as I and God determine the time is needed to rest and feeling the warmth and golden light of unconditional love and support! *(with tons of kisses and hugs where needed) LOL As i feel the warmth and healing I must say Namaste~ and take my leave. - Love Debra

Hello. 2003 has been a year of learning and letting go. I hadn't been a romantic relationship for 6 years. A delivery man who I would see regularly off and on for the past five years at a corner store near my job caught me by surprise when he ran into me at a grocery store in my neighborhood. We chatted for a bit and I suggested that perhaps we could continue our conversation over coffee if he was open to it. Soon after we began dating and my relationship with him from the start was a whirlwind romance with plenty of anxiety and anger.

On our first date a voice in my mind told me he and I had a past life together and that he was the person who started me on drugs. I don't take drugs nor drink. He was an ex-drug user and alcoholic, as were most of the men in my life. I would feel so much tension around this person. I began losing weight rapidly and felt out of control when we were or weren't together. I knew he was not right for me. I found myself quite obsessed with him and had to have him, similar to a bad drug habit. He brought out emotions that I tried to suppress through the years. I found myself going through negative patterns that I've repeated with other men in my life.

I consistently prayed to my Higher Guide to help me through the emotional turmoil. This relationship was stagnant and wasn't serving me for my good or my self-esteem. I had to let him go, as hard as it was for me. It took me several attempts. Looking back I can say this relationship was a gift and lesson that only helped me see what I needed to work on within myself. - Mitzi

In this last year for me has been a very enlightening time of growth, awakening to who I am ,it has been a time of growth and experiencing, and being led from spirit to help others, at the same time help myself in understanding what true reality is about, not the Earth type of so called reality, but the other Realms of experiencing of giving to another to understand of what true Love is about and that kind of Love is called unconditional Love no conditions placed upon giving to another that is what part of my year has been about.

I have also made 5 communities on what it is to be a spiritual BEing, and how to live in this light that we are all apart of, because in the universal understanding of TRUTH we are all ONE Soul united but until we awaken to this truth we are still living in a dream or a separation from the Creator Source, so my own time of reflection and moving forward in truth has been wonderful. I know we all have this ability to do the same, it is when we have had enough of the pain and fear, that is when we awaken to whom we truly are the light of Love, God's Light. - LAVerne Robinson

Hmmm, this past year has been an interesting year to say the least. This past summer I separated from my spouse, and I'm currently living in the basement. This way I can still be near to my 9 y.o. daughter, who if I left her to my wife would be curled up in a corner somewhere cowering. Yes, I love my wife, 'cos she's the mother of my child, however she's mean spirited, conceited, and loves to put others down solely to increase her sense of worth. She is now with a woman, not that that means anything. It's interesting tho'.

I have learned through my spiritual advisor to increase my spirituality and I'm doing just that. I meditate and pray daily to my Creator and Higher Power, and I love who I've become. My creator is there for me as I am there for him. My spirit guides are constantly with me. I'm continually learning how to enhance my intuition and raise my vibrations to the point now that, I feel HIS energy mounting inside me. It's truly a wonderful experience.

I have also been able to help a close friend of mine grow spiritually within her. She has had some major traumatic experiences this past year and with my assistance I feel she's come a very long way to discovering who she is and why she's here. She is my Angel as I am to her. She knows how I feel about her and would love it, if someday, she returns the feelings where we can be together as one. With more prayer and meditation this may come true. I continually get messages from my Creator and feel HIS energy inside always. - Andrew
