Goodbye 2020. Hello 2021.

I can’t believe how fast 2020 zoomed by. As weird and sometimes awful as it was, this year was, in comparison to what others have had to endure, a minor inconvenience (so far…). My heart aches for the families of those that have passed, and most passed completely alone, scared and only in the comfort of the overworked hero nurses and doctors that became clergy, moms, dads and the givers of love as their souls left their bodies. I just can’t even imagine being among the poor folks that are left behind and never given a chance to say goodbye.

I am so grateful and I am so blessed. So far, I don’t know anyone that has passed from the virus, or for any other reason for that matter, and the 2 family members that did contract the virus had very minor symptoms and recovered without fanfare and very quickly. Our finances are in tact and both John and I actually had a boom in our businesses, while watching daily as those around us have had to close their doors and say goodbye to their dreams while trying to quickly pivot (if I never hear this word again…) to avoid financial danger and even catastrophic loss. As I said, I’m so eternally grateful, but can’t help but be at odds with how to feel about our (again, so far) lack of imposition with this damn virus, comparatively speaking. Even saying it’s not easy to feel gracious about our blessings when others are suffering sounds so out of touch with what so many are going through right now. I know that donations are so important and that’s been a mainstay with me through all of this, but it still feels like it’s not enough…I don’t know that there is a destination called “enough” to actually arrive at. Goddess, God, Universe, The Source, The One, Spirit bless all of the hands and hearts of the people, organizations, non-profits, and medical personnel that rolled their sleeves up and got to work. We need to come up with a better term of Thank You for all of you. The world is a better and more extraordinary place with all of you in it. You keep the world going round. Deep bows of gratitude to each and every one of you.

I know this isn’t over yet and it’s this last home stretch that has me a bit worried. The end of all of this is in sight but there is a good 4 to 6 months left, depending on who you are, until we can presumably receive a vaccine and I do think about those that will succumb right when the end is so close, though not as close as we think. I pray that my loved ones remain safe during this time, and I pray for those who will inevitably and sadly not make it to see this as a bad memory.

Globally, my hope is that we not only heal, but that we begin to move into a place of stillness, hindsight, and forgiveness. I’m ready for the ushering in of the feminine as we watch the time of the masculine begin to take a backseat. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some peace.

Personally, my hope is that my family continues to thrive in these hopeful, yet still shaky, days ahead. Goddess, please keep us safe.

May 2021 be the year of healing and may this new year hold each of you steadfast in health, love, and abundance.

All my love to infinity and beyond,

E
