Milestones
Life is peppered with milestones.

These honorable titles consist of monumental feats and also smaller overtures mapping positions, defining goals, and marking calendars with our life's path and targeted intentions.

There are the existential firsts: first steps, first day of school, first Holy Communion, first car, first date, first kiss, first love.

Then there are the developmental milestones: potty training, friendships, graduation, getting the long-awaited hoped-for job, marriage, birth of children, divorce, and retirement.

Etched in between these celebrated accolades are subsidiary pursuits and attainments that give us immense joy and foster the signature of our being by molding and predicating our purpose and movement, one step at a time.

A great deal can be revealed by these commemorative delineations that promote picturesque identification and a clear pattern and direction to which each individual's unique.

We arrive at and accumulate these mastered checkpoints or clusters of compelling blips, measuring and analyzing our growth and progression.

Sometimes we endeavor and are proud, and in other instances we feel short changed or may have agonizing regrets.

Turning points and critical moments also join our intricate mosaic and highlight character, stamina, and flexibility.

All of these achievements and bits and pieces in time fit into the puzzle that makes up each of our chronological narratives expressing singularity and straightforwardness.

Occasionally one can also witness confirmation as an 'all good works noted' headline signifying cooperative effort and success.

I embarked on a new and glorious chapter when I created HEaling Link® in theory and on paper in November 2011 and then held the first meeting on June 7, 2012, with a roomful of eager folks.

A website and Facebook quickly followed suit, and on April 2, 2024, I hosted my 250th HEaling Link® meeting establishing a remarkable milestone showcasing over a decade of this labor of love for The Almighty and His people.

This was inspired and propelled by Divine guidance and my reluctance was overt from the get-go.

With many newfangled ideas and modalities decreed, I questioned God each step of the way, lacking any confidence in the proposal and myself.

All the insecurities and objections I possessed and voiced were each immediately dispelled with additional confirmations and undeniable synchronicities that led to the Wise One's certified fulfillment.

After a while, I simply complied to whatever He stipulated, and it has been an exceptional transformational tool for HEaling Link® participants and me.

I am the willing vessel allowing His good works to manifest through me.

Celebrate you and all your accomplishments and the Good Lord who accompanied you along the way.

What is He whispering to you?

Have faith.

If He says it can be done, it can. And know that all your good works are noted.

~ "To obey, to be ready for every good work, "Titus 3:1. ~
