What a fabulously vulnerable journey you took us on there. I'm sorry your 2024 turned out to be a kind of "Floor 13" year. But now you've deleted it you're free to move on, to drop the all of the baggage you were carrying and move on lighter into 2025.

Thank you for sharing this Aprille, it can't have been easy to choose to do so, I think it's a perfect addition to the challenge. I hope the fact that you went over the top leads to the kind of 2025 that you want to frame and hang on the wall to look back on for years to come.

Glad that they coincided! With any luck we will continue all year! All we need sometimes is a bit of encouragement and accountability and a challenge brings that for me, so the fact it does for others is a fantastic bonus!

Keep the raw emotional posts coming, they make reading so much more relatable when people share the bad instead of just the good!

I know this journey... this push and pull of others who want what isn't theirs and the fight to try to hold onto it through mitigations, meditations, all of the -ations of the legal system that never seems to actually result in true justice. When my Daddy crossed over, I got a mouthful and brainful and a heartful of the bullshite that comes with "death" being a financial gain and goal for others who I never saw in that spotlight before. It took years away from me, and off of me, but, after doing some deep dives into my "human" self, I found my SOULself (over lots and lots of time), I realized that this tumultuous territory I went through and was going through happened FOR me... not TO me. It was a place I discovered so much about ME, and who I wanted to be and who I never want to be. It taught me how to let go of things that would not serve me in the future, even though at that time, I wanted them so badly as a lifeline to hold onto the past. Everyone will experience this loss in their lives. NO ONE is immune to feeling the effects of death, and all will experience it differently. It's whether or not we can surrender (you have a yoga practice all about surrender!) to the unknown... let it wash over us and take us out to sea - not knowing where it will lead, but having faith that going THROUGH this choppy, swelling, rising tide will guide us to the wave our Mother Father God wants us to catch - the one we agreed to catch before we came to Earthplane - that will lead us right to the shores of where we are supposed to be in our next life chapter. We just have to get out of our own ways to experience the parting of the murky waters. I send you love, light and hope that you will find the peace you are searching for. It resides within you, and it's waiting to be set free when you decide you are ready for its liberation through the wretchful, angry, unfair... and then, one day unexpectedly, the beautiful acceptance of WHAT IS that provides us with that little superpower of SURRENDER. AND SO IT IS. Blessed Be.
