Yesterday marked a milestone for my ego, who is as worthy of love and compliments as is my Inner Child and my Soul self.  The blog post yesterday has received 1k 'likes' and climbing.  That was in my wish list this year and in the last day of the year it has happened.  By the end of today 2000 of you will be sharing life with me online, connection in love and peace as Remembering Unity.

As I do at the end of each year, I am reflecting on the year that has just passed, the year that has been 2016 for me.  I could reflect on world events but the media will do that for me and as I watch the program I will give thanks for all that and perhaps shed a few tears over passing greats, incredible heroes, heart-moving tenderness and selfless giving.  In my moments of personal reflection though, I will keep it about me.  I like to reflect at the end of each year on my own passing greats; my own incredible heroes, my own heart-moving tenderness and my own selfless giving.  I like to reflect on my own first-hand experiences and achievements, my own losses, my own griefs and joys, my own successes and on my own growth as a person.  I like to compare myself as I entered the year to myself as I'm leaving the year and then to congratulate, commiserate, console, consolidate, and compliment myself over a year well done.  I've learned over time that even mistakes are jewels and gems.  Nothing I do is by accident whether I can see it that way at the time or not.  I've learned that heart ache and heart break open my heart if I allow it to.  I've learned that full surrender makes way for miracles and more and I've learned more humility and discernment.  

I first awoke to this type of end-of-year reflection in 1998 (which was also a 9 year of completion).  I had been keeping a diary to monitor the casual work I was doing and my then husband and I had written a small list of things we wanted to one day get for our home.  We'd bought a lovely house and wanted to add a few things like air conditioning and a new bathroom but like most people we knew, we were living paycheck to paycheck and were not seeing a way to change that.  We wrote a wish list in the back of my work diary and forgot about it.  At the end of the year I was transferring birthdays into the new-years diary when I came across this list.  As I began looking at it, remembering fondly the day we wrote it, I realised in amazement that without any further effort on our part, we had acquired all but two of the things on our wish list and, it was tens of thousands of dollars worth!!  I was stunned and after adding the two things to the top of a new list, we created another list.  It then became an annual tradition for me and I still have each list to remind me that manifesting is very real and quite easy, particularly if I let go of attaching to the outcome.  By making a list and not thinking about it again for a whole year, I let go of expectations and enjoy each moment instead.  I've learned to trust that whatever I need will come, no matter what money I have myself.  

There are many types of abundance I can manifest but none means more to me than love.  Love for me is the reason I live, the air in my lungs, my purpose for being, my strength, my courage, my all and my guide.  I have more than once given up all worldly things and more for love and have found such miracles within that surrender.  Love holds no equal for me and I cherish every single person who has had any kind of impact in my life.  To my Self, my Soul Self, my human Self, the me that I believe I am; to my Inner Child/my egoic child-Self, Parent Self and my Adult Self whom I live, love, fight and breathe for; to the amazing man I am married to who has shown me how to love myself with equal determination and tenderness to the love I have for others; to my incredible children who have taught me the true meaning of unconditional love; to friends who've stood by me when I'm difficult to understand or be with; to family who never stop loving me and believing in me; to persecutors who have attacked and vilified me; to perpetrators of all manner of abuse against me; to my spiritual and soul families; to acquaintances, people I have met and moved on from; to angels that pop into my life and pop straight out again; to those who serve me in stores; to those I only know online; to random people I might run into only once ever in my life; to those who follow my blog but never say hello - I cherish every, single one.  Each has made an impact on my life and at the end of each year I reflect on that, on what the impact is, and then I thank you and send you love.  You are the words in my life's story, you are the music of my heart that keeps it beating in time, you are the beat of the drum that I follow, you are the stars in my sky at night and you are the world as I know it.  You are who I see when I look in the mirror and I love every facet of who we are as one.

Thank you for being my world, my Body, my love, my light, my life, my IS-ness.  Thank you for helping me to write the most fabulous story ever told and thank you for being such a blazing testament to love and to life.  May the year ahead bring you as much love and joy as you have brought to me.  Happy New Year.
