~
tendrils of mist
swirl about my body
creating an aura of mystery
washed in nature’s veil
both refreshing and exciting
what lies ahead is not clear
the foggy valley beckons
I step boldly into the unknown

Christmas arrived early for me! Thanks to the feedback from this community, I have relaxed into the mystery of my life and my quest for purpose and meaningful work. I am letting go of the angst, viewing my writing as part of my purpose, feeling hopeful about my life, looking for paying work and embracing the mystery. Thank You!
Merry Mysteries and Christmas to All 🎄🎅
writing to freedom 
I read it three times, that’s how happy I am for you! I commented on your post ‘the messy truth’ that you made me think of the deeper things in life…. I did some pondering after that!
You made me realise that I am happy.
Thank you.

I’m positive writing through it and being part of a community of similar thinkers will be a big help.
I tend to follow the ‘why’ train of thought too often, especially when things are going the most right in my life, if that makes sense. Your words soothed me on that front!

I know all will fit into place Brad when we let go of wanting.. Then the Universe then stops us wanting that which we place our thoughts on so much..
A little like a woman who has spent years wanting to conceive and then she gives up.. How many times I hear when she gives up often that is when the miraculous happens.. 🙂
I wish you a wonderful Christmas Brad.. I know all will become clear..
Believe it and so it is..
Hugs to you
Sue xx
