I love the message of this card. I love being reminded that I am strong and capable and that I can accomplish so much more than I think I can. I sometimes get so caught up in listening to the voices of my past that I don’t make time for my future.
I can and do accomplish great things.
This is a year for turning my focus inward and achieving things for myself and not for everyone else. Sometimes I get so caught up in taking care of others that I forget to take care of me. This year is all about self love and self care.

I’m being challenged this year to set boundaries for others. X could consume me if I chose to let her. I have to trust that even though she has bipolar she is strong and capable. As long as I see no signs that she is manic, I need to let her make her own mistakes, but that is a really hard thing to do.

The past year has been difficult and amazing. It is almost a year later and we are still dealing with the affects of her assault. Even though in a lot of ways she is stronger, she still gets scared and afraid sometimes. However, because I’ve been better at managing boundaries in all of my life, I have been so much better about being able to be present for her and to really be there when she needs me. A lot of that has to do with being able to be present for myself and to really value myself.
