I am trying to over come fear....fear of my husband having to take a 20% pay cut, fear of him loosing his job, fear of him loosing his health benefits, I'm still not working, fear of loosing our home, fear all my 3 cats are picking up on my fear and they all have herpes/calici virus to begin with so they already have suppressed immune systems. The obstacle of fear is what I'm trying to overcome, i'm still a happy person, it's a choice when you wake up happy or miserable. I do everything I can to stay positive in a situation that is very bleak. I also have diabetes 2, asthma and allergies, the thought of loosing health insurance really scares me. My photo is attached. I keep this baby bird as my photo as rememberance of her I fought hard to save her but lost the battle.

I'm trying to overcome the fact that I'm too hard on myself and expect too much. I'm trying to think more positive these days.

Fear of not living long enough to make sure everything is in order when my passing is here and the kids will not have a problem disposing of all possessions. We have a tendency to think we can do it all at a later time. Time does not wait.

The fear of "SNAKES" I have had this fear since I can remember! I have a fear of them even if I see them in a book. This is truely my biggest fear in life.

An obstacle to overcome.... trying to hold control over everything. I've been letting go of a lot, and probably can continue to do so even more, every day.

Trusting my intuition. Various things in my life caused me loose touch with this valuable tool and now I'm working through meditation to hear that treasured little voice and follow where it leads. :0)

The one obstacle in my life that I am working on overcoming is change. I have been a full-time career mom for the past 15 years; 11 years as a single mother of 2 children and 2 years as a mother/wife of 4 children. This year, I was laid off twice. The first time was as a permanent employee at a computer software company in Silicon Valley. I had invested 5 years in the company. After the 3500 global layoff in March, our household income was cut down to 50%. I was re-hired 90 days later as a contractor for the same company. On the Friday before Labor Day weekend (on my vacation day), I was let go due to budget restraints. This second time, our income now at 30%. My part-time job only pays for groceries. My husband's job luckily covers our rent, and barely our car payments. Needless to say, our dining out and movies has been cut out of our spending.

I always tell people, when one door closes, two more open, you just don't know where and when. Or, I would say everything happens for a reason. Although this time, my own words were hard to swallow. To make my journey of self-discovery short, I can only tell you that I am still in self-awareness mode and I LOVE getting in-tune with myself. I was so caught up with the hustle and bustle of money and titles, that I forget what matters most. What matters most is yourself and your family, and friends. Relationships and connections are what matters most and feeds my soul. I am learning to cut my losses and move on. I am overcoming all this change and re-discovering myself at the same time. I have never been so monetarily poor yet have felt so rich through the spiritual connections I have made along my journey. For the first time in a long time, I am at peace with myself and have realized that struggling is just a state of mind.
