I have been through a lot since our last visit to London last April and May. I don’t like surprises! Being an ISTJ I just  love CONTROL. But the Universe knew I needed to learn. Casual revelations from both my husband and daughter subliminally told me my old rules had to be restructured. This was Martha Beck’s The Hero’s Call to Adventure”.

Last Christmas season in Singapore, circumstances made me dismantle more pillars of my comfort zone. Young professional friends of our daughter made me realize my old world no longer existed.

My husband has been very respectful of my INTROVERSION. But our daughter in no-uncertain terms taught me how my perceptions in life and of life were not good for me. I knew mouthing formula prayers would not work. I felt a certain “knowingness”
a la Lynn Grabhorn. I prayed silently but constantly to the God within me.

Back in my comfortable tower in Vito Cruz I wasn’t spared by LIFE. One friend died unexpectedly. Another was seriously ill. Still another needed surgery. All of these were far younger than I am.

Then my treasured website was not accessible because it had exceeded the broadband limit. Eventually after weeks the site was restored minus the pictures!

Luckily, my blood  pressure remained steady all throughout except for two occasions when two Facebook friends pissed me off.

My sugar level (I pray) has not given me problems. I lost weight because  I cut down significantly on carbo. To date I have not returned to the lab for a blood test since we got inefficient service last November!

Through all these Dr Cristine Page, Martha Beck, Sylvia Boorstein, Rabbi Darfour, M. Tamura, Tato Malay, George Sison etc have kept me afloat.
Alan Seale’s “Soul Mission” encapsulates my journey:

“Self with a capital S  the fullness of who we are, is the gift of the Creator.”
“We came into this lifetime, everyone of us, with the possibility and potential to know ourselves fully. And the fullness of self includes and in fact our divinity.”

“In expanding into the whole self, we grow into our divinity and humanness.”
“To be fully human is to be divine.”
