Happy New Year from meowmy and papaw’s Magnificent Seven! My all of you have a wonderful 2024. Prosperous, full of love, peace and healthy.
What’s my 2023 looked like? Just like everyone else, my year was full of challenges, where by the end of the year I just pat my back and say to myself, “Thank you for surviving. Don’t stop, let’s continue the journey”.
2023 reintroduced me to leukemia, once again. Not me … but someone so near and dear to me, and I had a conversation with God and said, “Oh please … not again …” Thankfully, He listens, (of course! Never doubt that!) He sent strength and love throughout the journey.
Accompanying her for blood transfusions, invited my courage to donate my blood to the blood bank. Something that I have put aside for far too long. With the extra encouragement from my husband, I began my journey as a blood donor. And I love you for that.
Then, Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease made an introduction to someone who is also near and dear to me. The diagnosis confirmed our confusion over change of behavior. Prior to the diagnosis, a lot of things did not make any sense to us, even the patient cannot understand what is happening. Thanks to Alzi Indonesia I learned so much, THAT MUCH, until I decided to allocate my volunteering bandwidth from being a mentor for young ladies to create a mobile phone application, to Alzi Indonesia, in the hope that while I am learning as much as they taught me, I could contribute just as much, at the very least.
In my search for information, I came to find Wendy Mitchell who is a person with dementia sharing her experience. She published three books and numerous YouTube clips on her involvement to educate us on the disease. The books are also available on Audible and are read by her. Listening to her audiobook really takes me into her shoes. Little by little I began to see why things happen the way it happens.
It didn’t stop there. Breast Cancer and Heart Disease also made their introduction. Again, I asked God to help them in their battle. And once again, God listens. Thank you!
“Life is what happens when when you are busy making other plans” really hit the emergency brake for me through all of the medical attention needed by my inner circle. I began to rethink and invest in my own health. Luckily, my husband is always with me when it comes to getting fit. So I started to swim again, started to go on morning walks on the weekend, and with the help of the universe, we enrolled to an unlimited classes for Yoga practice in the proximity of our neighborhood. This class is truly a blessing for us. Finally, we can do something that we both enjoy. So, cheers to a healthier 2024 and beyond. And I love you for that.
On a lighter note, I am beyond happy to be able to hear Sean Turnell – my former lecturer’s voice again through his audiobook on Audible. This means learning again from the person who have endured unimaginable suffering and treated so unjust, yet still a loving person to the family and the country who has mistreated him. And this means eternal freedom for him.
With all of the whirlwinds, I closed the year by learning something new. I took Intuitive Animal Communication workshop for beginner so that I can talk to my Magnificent Seven. I practice everyday, and I learn something new everyday. They can not only talk, but they also spread wisdom! It’s incredible and I can’t wait to master it so I can be a good meowmy for them.
For 2024, I think I’m pass my years of setting high expectations and things to achieve. I only wish to be of use for the greater good and ground myself with better human relationship (and human to animal relationship), and perhaps this will improve myself as a spiritual being.
And one more thing, I also wish nothing better than to have peace on earth.
Thank you 2023
