My 2012 proved a fast year. I feel like I lived through a lifetime.
I have read tons of books and articles, and written lots of poetry.
I had two marriage proposals while in Ireland twice, both of which I refused.
I was in the convent for two solid months plus a week or two and I decided to come out.
I travelled to four countries within a twelve month period and had amazing experiences, including meeting amazing people.(Thanks to all my generous friends who help me out in these various places. Hug.)
I talked with people about jobs, and worked on a doctoral bibliography and gave up the project with God's insights as to what He really wants me to do. That was hard, as I love study.
I was healed of long standing anxieties and have come to trust in Divine Providence completely.This was easy as it was all grace.
I fell in love with someone who did not fall in love with me -well that was the end of 2011.
I started up my dormant blog again to great success which still amazes me.
I have made at least sixty new, excellent Catholic friends in many places.
I substituted in a great school for a short time.
I met saints.
I saw a friend of mine I had not seen for years. We laughed!
I gave up a book project and had discussions about starting a school. I talked and talked about Montessori.
I cooked and cooked and cooked so many dinners for friends, I lost track.
All in one year.....
And the list goes on.......
In 2013, I visited two countries and stayed with new friends.
I have had discussions on starting a new school, again, with different people.
I have met saints.
I have spent hours in McCafe doing my
blog.
I have cooked and cooked and cooked, but not as much as last year.
I have had my real vocation confirmed.
There is more....and it is only February 17th.
The only thing I have wanted to go and do and cannot at this time is paint. I love painting-acrylics and oils.....the year is young.
