Cycles
Cycles. Today I heard that another friend has passed away. That's four in less than 2 weeks. I'm thinking that there is a big project afoot and all of these fine folks are leaving the planet to do some work from the other side....
Just before Christmas, on the same day as the Sandy Hook shootings, two people I knew left also. It was really surreal to be mourning the passing of a friend's husband, and another friend's son, on the same day as that tragedy, and all of that happened in the same week that I went to another friend's memorial service.
I cried at the news of each one.... even though I know that death is a part of the cycle of life, I also know that I will never see these folks in this life as I know it, again. We mourn that which we feel is lost.
Luckily, I am also quite sure that we don't end at death - all that ends is the form as we know it.
The form as we know it. Life is full of cycles, of transformation from one form to another.
Right now, my life is not exactly easy. Remember the challenges I have been writing about? They haven't gone away. This time, we woke up on New Years Day to NO HEAT! It was friggin' 39 degrees out. Now, that may not be as cold as Boston, but for Phoenix, it's cold - and even colder when we were having weather in the high 70's a week or so ago.
We finally got hold of the landlord this afternoon, but who knows how long it will take? In the meantime, it's sweaters and a little space heater to keep it all bearable. My fingers are cold.
Other things are in flux - hopefully for the better in the long run, but dang, this current time is quite challenging.
My health is ... well, let's just say, challenging. My blood sugar levels had soared to around 500 last week. I was so scared that I finally went to an Urgent Care facility, and they gave me a couple of prescriptions that are slowly bringing it down. It was 284 just a bit ago.... Still high, but better than 500! I can feel the effects in my body... my fingers and toes, the neuropathy in my feet, my eyes.... and who knows what else is happening internally.
I have decided to take a bold next step and ordered some Isagenix products that will nourish and cleanse the visceral fat cells that are around my organs. This will help take a lot of the pressure off my organs, and with gentle weight loss, that should help blood sugar also.
Also taking daily walks, and jumping on the rebounder.
My wealth is ... even more dysfunctional at this time, but ... I am on the verge of an amazing opportunity to build wealth, and although I hate to get my hopes up, I am pretty sure this one is going to pan out for me. It's a different target market. It's not an MLM. In fact, it's a very legitimate company offering an awesome product, but any prospect has to have at least $20,000 in discretionary cash to get involved and getting involved will give them monthly cash flow. Their rewards will be great, but obviously it's not for everyone. I suspect that I will make over 6 figures this year, on this opportunity alone... and my personal goal is to make a quarter of a million dollars. WHAT A DIFFERENCE from where I am now!
So, even though I often have to choose between car repairs and healthy food, and I am often scrambling to pay bills before services are shut off, I am sure this is temporary and almost done.
Cycles....
Cycles of famine and feast. Cycles of death and life. Cycles of sickness and health. Cycles of despair and hope.
A myriad of experiences in this most interesting adventure we call life.
