#goodbye 2011

2011 has been a year that many might wish to forget, but inevitably will be a marker in our lives. The year of the quakes has changed the look of Christchurch forever, and changed the communities within the city for ever too. I notice that the comments on the pictures are nearly always about the good times that people had in a particular place, and my hope is that the bad memories about 2011 will fade from our memories and the sweeter memories of the community supporting each other remain. Goodbye 2011.

Like the blink of an eye it’s that time of year again… Do you feel the different energy each year brings? We all have personal year vibrations calculated from our birthday, month and year. We also experience the same universal year energy to some degree. In numerology 2011 comes to a universal 4 energy. If you put all the sides of a 4 together it forms a pyramid.  When you think of the great pyramids they were built from structure, hard work, perfection, security, learning, restrictions and unseen forces – this is the reality of a 4.   The 4 is good for business building, laying foundations, purchasing property or renovating an existing one, education and personal development. In a 4 year like 2011 you can feel restrictions with work taking on whole new meaning. 2012 comes to a universal 5 energy in numerology. The 5 is open both front and back and brings with it the energy of being open to new experiences.  This year will bring change to your life and create a turning point from restrictions and hard work of 2011.  Expect the unexpected. This is the year to travel, embrace opportunities and make new contacts.  It’s a year of rebirth however not adapting to the 5’s energies can cause things to go wrong. The 5 personal year brings freedom and gives you the opportunity to really do what you want – it just takes a little more concentration to sit down and actually do it. Yoga or meditation classes will help centre your energies and if you can make it to a retreat you’ll reap the benefits.   To welcome the new year in I’ve cleaned our house and reflected on what’s manifested this year.  My biggest achievement and culmination of a long term dream was the birth of Light Stays in October 2011.  It’s been a lot of work with unexpected delays but an amazing learning experience and so worth it. Burning sage is a great way to clear anything built up in your house - with an uplifting scent it’s almost like being in nature after rainfall.  I don’t think our cattledog Max is too impressed with it though! What do you want to bring into the new year? A child, better health or abundance? Maybe a new house or relationship? Write it down and feel it like it’s already happened. Would love to hear how 2011 worked out for you and what you’d like to see happen in 2012.  If you could be anywhere or do anything tomorrow what would it be?

2011 was a tough year for me. I realized that I wasn't moved on from the fall down I experienced late 2009 which means that little by little, I create a monster inside myself that slowly consume the Ellen that I am for the past 19 years. I have experience a deadly combination of self-pity and insecurity that slowly eating my confidence. This year aswell, I have learned so many lessons that I am glad to know like, you should really love yourself and never compare things.I also learned that you are the one who created your own destiny, there are external factor but 90% of it is in your hands, whether it's just simply choosing what color to wear or what bag to carry. All of that weights the destiny you are creating. My experienced this year thought me as well not to do things tomorrow if you can do it today, so you can use tomorrow for doing things you really love. I also realized that it's okay not to please everybody, not just because you really cannot but a No with justified reasons will earn you respect, than a Yes that will brings you headache and danger your word of honor. There are so many things that I am really thankful for this year. I am glad to found new friends, and maintain a healthy relationship with the old one. I am happy as well to have a change on regaining one special friend. I am thankful to God for everything, for making my Lola okay, for giving us hope every time that thing happened and to every blessings that I received this year. I am really glad to remember how luck I am , and I shouldn't dwell too much on what I do not have, and focus more on what I have. So for this new year, I will build a better me, with a much more stronger positive side and faith on herself :) Hello 2012! Kindly guide me :P

Cheers for 2012

goodbye 2011
