t.r.o.y.

It’s about that time again. Time for the annual year-in-retrospect obligatory blog post.

From last year’s wrap-up post:

2007 will be about renewal, acceptance, discovery, faith, and over-achievement. And, hopefully, let 2007 be about friends old and new, and stories familiar and unheard.

Oh! have there been stories. And beautiful people in and around my life.

When I wrote those words, I had no idea how difficult “renewal, acceptance, discovery, faith” would be. Not an iota of awareness. Damn, it’s been painful.

Winter was melancholic. Spring was cliché-ingly promising. Summer was (as predicted) serendipitous. And ever since Mercury got its act together and moved out of retrograde, autumn’s been good to me.

Rounding up the tail end of another year in the life of a Scorpio, and the question begging to be asked: What have you earned for yourself in '07? Perhaps better yet: Was it all it was cracked up to be? Was it enough?

I’ve earned the ability to work on myself with care and patience. 2007 was all it was cracked up to be and more. And it was definitely enough.

I’ve been on a creative tip for a minute now. Working on my own ish, collaborating with other people on projects that keep me up at night, overwhelmed with their potential (hence the lack of posting). I’m looking forward to 2008. I’m in a good mind space, I’m a lot more comfortable with myself and my capabilities. I feel lighter.

The universe is aligning itself in my favour. It told me so.
