I decided I wanted to do something different this year which was to have more interaction and involvement from you on my website, so in my first Newsletter of 2010 I asked the following questions so that you could do just that!
My Biggest AHA moment of 2009 was… My Saddest moment of 2009 was…
My Happiest moment of 2009 was… My most amazing Triumph of 2009 was…

“My 2009 AH HA Moment!”
In the areas of Love and Money, my 2009 pretty much sucked swamp water in BIG WAYS… right from the start and right to the end. BUT near the very end of 2009 I realized that I’d spent most of the year chasing something and then waiting. I chased after everything that appeared to be “The Answer”, and then I waited for magic to happen. In that AH HA moment I decided that 2010 will be different. 2010 is my year of Conscious Creation. Instead of chasing anything and everything like a two year old grabbing for shiny objects, I am taking time to discover NEWLY what is most important to me, and Consciously Create those things into existence in my Life.

My happiest moment in 2009
May I say it? Really? Well the truth is meeting you and the whole crew at the camp was the happiest moment of 2009! The whole two weeks in Malaysia was the highlight of the year for me. It was the light at the and of two very dark years where I had fallen deep in the ‘victim trap’, naively thinking I could change what was wrong around me. What I didn’t realize is that I had to change me, not people or things around me! I finally had made the decision to quit something that made me truly unhappy and I went straight to the camp where I re-discovered happy feelings, deep connections with others and a sense of accomplishment I had not felt for so long! Definitely the happiest two weeks of 2009 and probably of my whole life!

“My Happiest Moment of 2009″ was WARRIOR CAMP which I attended with my husband.
It was during warrior camp where I realized that I no longer had to be ashamed of what happened to me when I was young. I have a history of Bi-Polar and always thought of it inwardly, thinking of it as a dark dirty secret. I carried this secret with me everywhere fearing that others would find out about it. Without realizing that there wasn’t anything to be afraid of because of where I am now. I’ve grown so much from all of my experiences, bad and good…I’ve achieved so much and learnt more from my failures. I leant with much relief that I didn’t have to get anyone’s approval but my own. I’m not afraid of being judged anymore…how others judge me has got nothing to do with me. It was such a huge breakthrough for me and I had my husband there to share it with me. I realized with much joy that I wasn’t the same girl who always thought of herself as a victim. I’m no longer afraid. It’s like big chains being released from my hands and I’m now ready to reach out and soar the skies…I know who I am now…and will never forget it!

“My biggest AHA moment of 2009″
came at the base of a rock climb where I had a choice of how difficult I wanted my climb to be. My first instinct was to go in the middle, then to the hardest because what’s life without a huge challenge. I saw taking the middle line as a cop-out, a way for sure success and then I asked myself a very important questions. “Why on Earth would I ever WANT to struggle?!” and my choice was made. I took the middle line and declared that I was going to achieve my success and flow through life, and up and down that climb, with ease and grace…and so it was and still is!
“My most amazing Triumph of 2009″ was coming into understanding of the essence of who I am, of how my heart communicates with me, how to be me and understand that is dynamic and everchanging; it’s formless in a physical form, limitless in a limited form and always present and being exactly what is meant to be in that moment.
