Crossing the Waters of Life in 2015 By Juliet Ceesay

Last year when I crossed the water and returned home to Montserrat, a friend labeled me "a rolling stone that gathers no moss."

Now that I am retired, I consider life to be an adventure as long as health and strength continues in my life. As we come to the end of the year, I sit in gratitude of such magnitude that it often moves me to tears.

As we enter a time of "Thanksgiving," I reflect on my one year of giving up my home and comfort zone in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and began detaching myself from everyone and everything I believe would make me feel safe and secure. My desire to live my life after my son's suicide made me realize the work I am doing and the energy I have tapped into. As a result, under the guidance of my Divine Self and my Master Teachers I met along the spiritual path, it saved my life and blessed me with all I wished for in accordance with the highest will of my soul. Never underestimate the power of working on yourself to effect the most powerful change you desire in your own development.

Reflecting on how much I have transcended, transformed my old beliefs about myself is a miracle in itself. I know how much I have manifested in such a short space of time is a result of my desire to live a happy, peaceful, and loving existence with all human beings that cross my path, no matter what race, color, nationality, religious beliefs, or sexual preference.
