Today is the
last day of 2012 and I am sitting in my bed smiling. Smiling about how
wonderful 2012 has been to me. I am thinking about how this will be my last
blog post for 2012. I am meditating on the last words I want to write for this
year.
I am infusing
every word I write today with love, peace, joy, hope, faith, more love, more
faith… trust… believing… belief in all things… in all things that are good…
this is my highest intention for the words I put on the page today and how I
intend to leave this year… and live all of next year… filled with love, peace
and tranquility. The Universe, God and the Goddesses, the Angels, Mis Santos,
mi familia, my friends have ALL been good to me… they are always so good to me—and
to all of them I say THANK YOU… I am so grateful for this amazing year.
I feel happy
today!
I feel blessed!
I feel GOOD!
I feel STRONG!
Today I close
chapters!
Today I make
amends!
Today I forgive
ALL!
Today I release
all unfinished business!
Today I allow
all that needs to be DONE—to be DONE!
It is done… we
are done… I am done!
I have released
all of the old.
I have released
a past that I am done with.
I am no longer
carrying anything old into my future… it is out of my house and out of my life…
for good!
I have literally
thrown out hundreds of bags and hundreds of pounds of old papers and research…
I have cleared it ALL out… I have cleared out everything and everyone that does
not serve a greater purpose for my life.
I am happy.
I am complete.
I am whole.
I am safe.
I am free.
CLUTTER FREE!!!
I am making room
for everything that I do want… and everything that I deserve. Those things I
will allow in.
Today is a very
special day. This is a special blog… a special note of gratitude… this my very
last blog for a very long time… I have reached the end of this part of my
journey and am beginning a new one.
I am so grateful
to those who have read my words, followed my work and supported my craft.
Today, Monday,
December 31, 2012 I say good-bye to you.
I wanted to
share my last writers prompt for the year in hopes that you will do it with me.
Lets close this wonderful year out strong, filled with love and gratitude! Let's begin preparation for all that is about to unfold.
Part 1: Write a letter of gratitude to 2012
(set a timer for ten minutes and write about everything you are grateful for,
all that you have accomplished, all of the blessings you have received, your
highlights and low lights. Write without lifting the pen off the page… no
editing… allow it all to just flow… if the timer goes off and there is more you
would like to write keep going until you are done.) If you would like to share
it with me feel free to post it as a comment or email it to me at findingyourforce@gmail.com.
Set your ten
minutes on the clock and GO!!!
Here is my letter:
My beloved 2012:
I am so grateful for the abundance you
have brought me.
Creator, thank you for all the blessings
of Ogun, Olokun, Yemaya, Chango, Orula, Ellegua, Obatala, Oya, Ochun, Ochossi y
Osum que siempre me protegen… me siento tan bendecida. Thank you for bringing
me closer to my parents and family. Thank you for my ancestors who are always
with me.
Thank you for all those moments when I
was afraid worrying myself over where the money was going to come from yet it
always arrived from the most odd and unexpected places. Thank you for Renzo
Devia and Afrolatinos, a story that I am dedicated to, which has brought me so
many opportunities and blessings. Thank for the people that were sent and the many
friendships I have formed. People who have become my family and I am grateful
to those who have my back. Thank you for that very special visit from the most
remarkable Hawk, my guardian angel who arrived to support me, protect me and
fill me with messages and blessings for this next stage of my life.
Thank you for my beautiful daughter,
thank you for always protecting her and bringing her home to me safely. Thank
you for your continued guidance. Thank you for BET, VIACOM, NANOWRIMO, VONA,
Finding Your Force, I WAS BORN, the countless writers workshops I was blessed
with facilitating and being a part of. I am grateful to all of the colleges I
was able to visit in order to present Afrolatinos and share Finding Your Force.
I am grateful for my trip to Cuba and the Dominican Republic that strengthened
my spirit preparing me for all the good that has arrived in my life and for all
the good that is coming. I am grateful for Renzo Devia in my life, meeting him
and embarking on a journey five years ago and we have so much further to go. I
am grateful to all those who helped send me to VONA for their support and love
and faith in me… they made it possible. I am grateful for everyone I met during
that trip. For Mat who encouraged me to apply to Writing Programs and to Maaza
for facilitating a space where I could be a better writer and for all the
writing sisters I made at VONA. I am grateful for the special women who
attended my first 12-Week Writing Workshop, the Women Writing the World, and
Writing with Intention Workshops their stories are a part of me now and I have
learned and gained so much from them. I am grateful for the NYC Latina Writers
Group, all of my writing is dedicated to you.
What have I learned this year?
I’ve learned that when I answer my call
and follow my heart there are always favorable results. All I have to do is
take one step and everything conspires to help me achieve it. Doors open…
opportunities arrive… blessings are endless. I am grateful for the countless
conferences and panels that have brought so many blessings to Court and I, especially
for our brand new apartment. I met so many goals this year. It has taken me
such a long time to get here but I am glad we arrived. I have learned to enjoy
the process and I am enjoying ALL OF IT!
Thank you for all the love that surrounds
me, the people who hold me in prayer, the people who send me well wishes and
for those people who may not wish me well - - may they know LOVE… may they know
that I love them and am so grateful for them. For my Padrino Leo… thank you… he
has been light in my life… my angel on earth… a warrior that protects me… thank
you for making his play a success. I am also grateful for every blessing you
have brought the many people in my life, from new babies to engagements… to Broadway
shows… may the universe continue to bless all of us! There is more than enough
to go around!
And so it is.
