Autumn now fully upon us, the first 2 harvest festivals behind us and the last one to come end of the months.
A good time to take into account what you could and still can harvest this year.
in other words:
What have you done & achieved so far this year?

That can be anything and everything, there is no right and wrong. Could be moving house, a new job, taking up a new hobby to having a year of relaxation and enjoying life.

Did you have any plans, goals or dreams for the year around springtime, or maybe on New Year's Day?
Have they come true?

Personally I rarely really have plans and goals. That's too much from the head for me. I prefer things from the heart :)

I'm back in touch with my daughter after a bumpy period so I get to see my li'l granddaughter again as well. That fills my heart with joy!

And I'm going to be a grandmum a 2nd time in February '25! Got to see the wee one during the last ultrasound my daughter had.

Out of the blue I wanted a black cat. Found her, my Meggie. She's now 5 months old

A lot of energywork & personal & spiritual growth this year. And I started working with Merlin which suits me really well.

I made an AA Christiel statue to go with the energy portal to Lyra that I created in the garden with help of this AA.

Oh and I found out my Human Design type, read a lot about that and damn, is that accurate! Clarified a few things for me :)

And I made a beautiful cathouse! Never thought I would and could do that. And the beaut is... they really use it!

That's awesome Crystal, so happy things are going well for you and with your relationship with your daughter. And how exciting to see the wee one before he/she presents herself/himself to the world.

Me... Mostly heart centered stuff and feeling the joy in aligning with my desires. :)

I’ve got 30 years with the company (HEB that is).

Thank you, River!
I'm very happy for sure! My granddaughter Emilia is now 1,5 yrs old and absolutely adorable
Next year having a 2nd, what more can you wish for! I never really had any idea what it'd be like to have grandchildren. Now I have 1, and 1 on the way, I can say it's indeed as great as everyone always said it'd be, haha.

And great to hear you're also following your heart as much as you can!

Congrats, Julie!
That's a long time!

Thank you .

That's wonderful, Crystal! You must feel great about all the things you've achieved. and especially the grandbabies! Congratulations!

For me, I moved to a new country (Cambodia) in August and started at a new school. This was such a great move for me. SE Asia is my favorite part of the world, and I love it here. I really like my school, and love the people on my grade-level team. It was the easiest transition I've ever had when moving to a new country/job.

Oh yes, I remember you talking about this upcoming move.
Glad to hear it went so well and that you're enjoying it so much!
I think it's totally awesome that you do this, so far away from hearth & home. I had expected you to go back to the US to be with Mark and closer to your daughters.

Enjoy your new job and Cambodia! I always get this special feeling when I think of that country. Think Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm etc.
I'm not sure as I haven't been there, but aren't the people different from other Asians? Okay, each country will have their own thing, but somehow I feel Cambodians stand out in some way or other. Can't put my finger on it, maybe you can tell me, hihi.

In any case, great achievement for sure!!

Finally was able to visit family in Australia over the New Year and it was just awesome catching up with everyone , after about 10 years ...

This summer it was a goal to spend maximum time at the cabin in the woods... peacefully going about my business of fishing , swimming and kayaking in the crystal clear lake and enjoying local scenery and activities .. Did it all and met interesting people along the way . Some of whom I hope to socialize with during the festive season... hmm !!!

Now planning for a trip in the new Year to go see the Taj Mahal in India ... just hope I can get a visa .... as at the moment we have an ongoing dispute with that country and that could escalate if we don't look out !!!

Wow, Slim, that all sounds amazing! And how great it must have been to see your family again after so many years.
I hope you'll get your visa so you can go see the Taj Mahal.
I only know it from photos but I think it must be an awesome monument -if you can call it that- to see with your own two eyes!
