WOW!  What a ride it has been!  From Samhain to Yule it was pretty bleak, but with Imbolc it brought in new beginnings.  I am so glad to be where I am now, while it was rough I would not change a thing.  We are given lessons and gifts all the the time.  What we do with them is up to us. 

I was unemployed for just over 6 months, I had given up hope.  I was getting desperate.  Thne a friend of mine, a former boss had an an opening.  I had followed her from one job to another.  This one looks promising, I can actually live comfortable, survive here and grow.

I am so grateful for this new job, I look forward to growing in it and one day  to retire from it.  I want to thank each and every one of you who sent me positive energy, or lighted a candle for my cause, or just for a moment held me in your thoughts.  Our community, intimate and vast has pulled me through the darkness.  Sustained me through my fears, and has celebrated with me my freedom from the oppression of depression.

I honor our community with the coming solstice, for all that we can accomplish - how we stand united, how we keep our faith, and how we bless our non-Pagan communities by being ouselves.

My love and heartfelt thanks to each of you!

Much Love & Many Blessings,

Mary
