  • Unfolding Opportunities

    What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

    By Tracy Schruder

    It’s hard to know where to start with my list of positive events that have happened in my life over the past year. Like an old, folded-up love letter that went through the wash in my overall bib pocket, my list was full of great potential but difficult to unfold.

    I had several goals to accomplish this year, each one a positive step towards a better future.

    2025 started out cold and slow. I was feeling the down grey days of winter and dealing with the tail end of menopause. I was overweight and overwhelmed.

    My main goal was to finish writing my manuscript, “Journey To A New Self.” I stared determinedly at my box of journals, preparing to jump in once again and finally put the finishing touches on my book.

    As I leaf through the pages, I realize just how far I’ve come since starting this project in 2017. That’s when it dawned on me that I could pull myself out of the pit of despair and work the manuscript as I had before to bring myself back to life.

    I would put into practical application my own advice, that worked its magic on me, just a couple of short years ago.

    Well, I was delighted and impressed. By the time March came around, I was on the mend and had developed a new, fresh routine for myself. Come September, my manuscript was ready for publication. The end of the goal is now approaching completion, and my book will be in stores very soon. So I achieved that! Yay on me!

    Other goals, like expanding my Reiki practice and setting up an online education portal for my students, were also achieved. The year may have started out like poo, but it’s ending like a jewel.
