Vicki Monroe's SpiritBlog Archive January 7, 2008 Happy New Year everyone! That is my first and foremost message. I also hope that you are well, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You cannot have peace in your life without all three being in perfect balance. So, I wish you balance. Remember to think of yourself and give some time to your own personal health and mental care each and every day from this day on. In review of 2007, my own personal life had some very large obstacles to climb that all who live on this earth plane will probably go through, and though you may not believe you can deal with something like that when you hear it from another, when and if it happens to you, you realize just how strong you really are. To say it was a terrible year, well, I would never say that! To say it had its obstacles, yes, but were they overcome? I hope so, I believe so, and there are still most certainly obstacles to come, but I have a tremendous faith in the Universe and the Mother and Father that reside over us all. With that faith, I know the paths we choose are of our own making, and how we deal with them, well... you know the rest. I had three exciting trips to Europe this year, Italy was fantastic, and my husband and I plan on making that a yearly trek, a little piece of heaven for us on earth. We cherish this little corner of the world, and hold it with us wherever we go. Germany was very good to me, as were the people that work for the magazine that brought me there, and not once but twice, and I will be back there as well as in Zurich, Switzerland in 2008. Talk of appearances in England and Australia are in the works as well. So, the year ahead has many exciting events to take place and I will be happy when my third book, "Mysteries, Magic and Mayhem", is finished and in bookstores. I have gained many worldwide friends this year, and cherish my other wonderful friends from around the globe. I would be thrilled to return to the shores of Puerto Rico, as the people there have always been so wonderful and warm to me. In review, there were difficult times; times when I didn't know if I had the strength to keep doing what I do. Sometimes I receive threatening letters and e-mails are that are very troubling. Sometimes people whom you thought you knew and had done so much for end up leaving you by the wayside. I have learned in this life that helping is wonderful, but sometimes without them realizing it, they forget you and what you did for them, and the termination or lack of communication ends. We are all supposed to help others, and sometimes, even though it might sting for a moment or two, you need to let them go. All of you who have been reading my blogs know of my son and his struggle against melanoma. While my hope for the best remains, and he has taught me so much just by his actions of doing wonderful, he has thrived, and I pray every day that he will continue to do so. I do research on many alternative therapies in the hopes that he can continue to be well without a recurrence of the cancer. I also wish to thank all of you who send prayers to him, without you, I don't know if things would have turned out the way they did. Bless you all. We did lose a dear friend, my husband's dog, Dollie. It was a shock, but my husband is finding life with two labs can be just as entertaining, although Dollie was very special and will remain in our memories and hearts forever; she now resides with the family that has crossed. My grandmother also passed this year, and no offense to her, but "SEE YA GRANDMA!" She was without a doubt one of the grouchiest people I have ever met; she hated life, hated people, and just hated! I know she looks at me now through young eyes and laughs at the things she said. We didn't find them so funny at the time, but now, the whole situation has a certain humor to it. Children were born into the family, a lovely little boy, Cameron, and another on the way in the summer. No marriages, but I would love to be a grandmother (although I just can't get past that word). I just can't imagine it. I have two graduations that will be in May and early June, my daughter will be graduating high school, and my son will be graduating from the University of New England, beginning his life as an environmental scientist. New lives, new adventures, and yet I still find the peace and comfort of my old New England farmhouse. No matter what television shows that I do, books that I write or the jobs I do, home is definitely where my heart always comes back too. I hope when you open your door you feel that sense of calm and peace. Home should be that way. It's a place you don't want to leave, but to look forward to returning to. We will elect a new president in the United States this coming year, and with all the bloodshed and violence going on in this world, we need someone who can help us unite together and not fight amongst ourselves. Hopefully this will be someone who will bring our troops home, knowing they served us well and protected us. All of you know I support Barack Obama, but we all have our own choices and free will, so whoever you vote for, vote with the best intentions, not obsessions. All in all, the year has been good, for my family and those I hold dear. I wish you all the very best in health, well-being, good fortune, and most of all, finding peace within and without. Blessings, and a bountiful 2008 to you. In Light, Vicki This website and text copyright © 2007, 2008 Vicki Monroe. All rights reserved.
