Many things have happened in the last year since Ashla Knights was a website where we could connect, learn and grow. Naturally, on the local and global scale, a great deal has happened. Of course, on the personal level, we’ve all changed from who we were a year ago when we could take it for granted that we could log onto Ashla Knights to communicate.
In my own existence, I came home from work on December 3, 2008 to find my mother on our living room floor, semi-conscious and cold. I didn’t know it then, but she’d had a massive heart attack. I learned after a swift ride to the local hospital that she’d died twice in the hospital, first in the ER and then again in the cardiac cath lab. The doctors were able to revive her both times, and amazingly, she recovered from the heart attack and multi-symptom organ failure without any ill effects! Six months later, we endured the news of her needing quadruple bypass. Mum survived that experience as well and is going strong today.
In the year since that fateful day, we’ve both completely changed our eating and exercise habits. Where we used to be wishy-washy about such ideas, now those are automatic considerations in our life. Where we eat. What we eat. How often we exercise and what we do to exercise.
The circumstances of December 3 also impacted my spiritual sense of being. I still do not quite have a way to articulate how properly.
In the last year, I finally secured a full-time job! I’ve been in the position for three months and love it.
That’s what has been happening for me in this year of withdrawl from Ashla Knights. How about you?
