Yesterday marked one year since Mr. M and I experienced a life-shifting car accident...I wrote a little piece in my newsletter this week about some of the lessons that we've drawn from that crash experience in the last year...in case you missed that article, here's a recap below:
Nov 23rd marked a year to the day since Mr. M and I experienced a pretty intense car crash in Pennsylvania, during which both cars involved were totalled...a year on from this perspective-shifting event, we feel extremely blessed to still be
here and manifesting the life of our dreams, day by day...coming out of the other side of an event like that relatively unharmed helped us to step deeper and deeper into *gratitude* for what we do get to experience here - it is truly such a blessing and adventure to be alive and play here in "Earth School", if we choose to see it that way of course... ;)Our lives can seem so fragile, delicate and impermanent in the wake of shocking events like car crashes or other unexpected accidents - it can be a great reminder to truly relish every mom
1. Remain Open - Mahatma Gandhi suggested to "Live as if you were to die tomor
row. Learn as if you were to live forever." - choosing to embrace all of our experiences here with love, joy and curiousity and continuing to remain open to change, to new learning and experiences, despite whatever 'setbacks' or challenges we may perceive in life, can bring such richness to the tapestries of our lives.(continued below...)
on November the 23rd it was my Dad's birthday and I enjoyed:

3. Vulnerability is Our Greatest Defence - in the words of another holocaust writer, Anne Frank: "In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit." and
4. Don't Take Anything Personally (nod to Don Miguel Ruiz ;) - understanding that anything 'negative' that people might seem to bring towards you is a reflection of their own imbalances can be very liberating, rather than taking things personally and feeling easily battered around by the opinions and actions of others... Shaman wisdom-keeper Little Grandmother, who survived through a very abusive and disturbing upbringing to bring a message of such joy and light to the world, says "It is none of my business what other people think of me"...5. Always End With Love - I recall hearing a story of another concentration camp survivor, who had lived through so much and on recounting her experiences
I trust that you may find some extra inspiration in these words for your own journey - we are truly so blessed to be here, may you enjoy your choices and experiences ;)
All love,
Angelalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaa. xxx
