Jorge Palma
Jorge Palma's song called Só (anlone=just) 1991Just because of existing
Just because of doubting
I have two souls in war
And I know that none will win
Just because of having two suns
Just because of hesitating
I made my bed at a crossroad
and I called this place home
And there's always someone there
Near that storm
Where feet have no ground
And the hands lose any reason
Only because of facing
Only because of destroying
I have the keys of heaven and hell
and I let time decide
And there's always someone there
Near that storm
Where feet have no ground
And hands lose any reason
Just because of existing
Just bacause of doubting
I have two souls in war
And I know that none will win, I know that none will win.

What will
the year ahead bring? Typicall today's the day when we start on New Year's Resolutions, if we bother at all. I've hardly ever, if at all kept mine; in a similar pattern I've very really achieved my goals so.....
At the end of "1111",and the beginning of 2011, I'm creating new pattern for myself by the baby step route.
How many times have we set goals never to achieve them? Whether it's weight loss (we'd look & feel so good in that dress, pair of jeans....); relationships, financial or another area of our lives we've never quite managed it. Today this Womb Twin Survivor has moved a little way on the path to achieving goals. (Just a little word of advice, the effectiveness of this technique, may depend on how far along your own healing path you are.) Ready for it? Ok, here goes.
If you're not setting goals for yourself (or even "things to do today") start now & start small. eg. "Today I will have a herbal tea at breakfast (rather than the normal black); text new years greetings to friends withtout clever wording; watch a tv programme that makes me laugh; get the kids to bed to bed within 15 minutes of my ideal time & tidy one drawer in my desk." And make a committment to yourself to get those tasks done.
This technique is setting yourself up for success as you give yourself a better chance of getting done those things to which you committ. After a while you'll start to realise you can achieve/get done those things which matter to you & so your sense of self-esteem improves.
I feel delighted to have got done what those things that I'd committed to doing. Now to keep it up! (If you find this isn't working for you it may be because you're setting yourself too big/too many things to do in the day; that they're not that important to you or that you're at a place in your journey where you're self-sabotaging.) Whatever scenario is true for you, remember you're in the right place for you right now; be gentle with yourself & allow your healing to continue.
Warm wishes for this Year.

December's Hello From Canada
Sorry for the late post, the holiday's have kept me well occupied.
Along with it came the usual emotional ups and downs that the season brings.
Remembering memories of bygone days.
The magic of Christmas and nastalgia heavy in the air.
My memories of those gone to the other side of life before me, my twin, Michael, my Mom and Grandad and sadly many, many others.
Carrying their memories with me, as I live the life set before, adapting , enduring and persevering with enthuiasm. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;P)
Running with it, as I plough through, sometimes with childish enthuiasm, sometimes not so much. Life IS for the living after all.
So the preparing for Christmas, the prime directive.
Volenteering and baking all the goodies set aside for THIS season only. The wrapping of Christmas treasures, random deliveries for Old St. Nick, and sharing lovely memories with the near and dear.
Making more memories and etching them in my brain.
Thankfully, the weather actually cooperated with us this year.
We actually had more rain at times than snow. It made easier for travel up hill and down dale, making all necessary stops.
The usual for this time of year would have made it near impossible to get around.
Truth be told I prefered the change. From the usual frigid temperature when it plummets down to the minus double didgets.
Today, if I didn't know better, I would say it seems that spring is just around the corner.
Happily there were a few beautiful snowfalls with those huge fat flakes that just lazily drift down from the sky like feathers.
For the first time in donkey ages during one of these snowfalls, my girls and I had a big snowball fight with the neighbourhood kids.
Sides equally gathered we let loose our cold projectiles and let fly.
I haven't laughed so hard in absolute ages. It was great fun.
I highly reccomend it if the opportunity arises.
I played like a child and felt my brother Michael right there with me.
Implanting strategy and defense to help in the foray.
Sadly alas, we lost and the other team was rewarded with a handshake,
a Merry Christmas, and candycanes all around.
My sincere hope and wish is that you have the opportunity to laugh like a little child,
dance like no one is watching, and love like there's no tomorrow.
Have a wonderful, prosperous, healthy, and peace filled New Years.
Live In Peace and Peace Will Live In You...
