The year 2010 that would have been plenty full with mothering, grad school, full time work and part time private practice. Those are the background for the year. The historic events were 1) hunting for and finding a more affordable apartment for myself and the one child who remains at home, 2) replacing that home and three cars lost in the flood of May 2nd - just 12 days after moving into the condo that got flooded, 3) receiving the most consistent support and connection I've ever experienced from the man I love, 4) transferring from working with adolescents full-time to the adult women's program to help my schedule be more sane, 5) watching my daughter deal with being assaulted then ignored by someone she loves and watching her be courageous enough to testify to it in hopes that he would get some help, 6) many hours of daily prayer and meditation, 7) attended first meditation retreat, 8) survived and actually had to help plan and carry out a large layoff at work, 9) said goodbye to my mother who died in November, and 10) allowed my heart to open wide for the first time and even though my loved one is unavailable at this time due to a relapse into illness, I wouldn't trade my open heart for anything.
thanks!
