My clients in my practice, and reading business have complained about this. My family and friends can attest to this. Patience is the lesson of the year. Both in letting old people go, learning to wait for desired goals. People felt tested as they waited for their new friends or soul family to come to them, formulate and feel comfortable.
God I feel wants us be more loving, patient and tolerant of ourselves and others. So the year 2009 came and is almost gone with the struggle stories to prove how much this lesson needs to be learned.
Assure the divine you have learned you must wait for divine timing, you know their is a purpose, you accept people as they are, bless them, hope for the best and await your rewards. See what happens. I am hoping if we all do this, God will relent, be happy we have matured and move on a less painful boring lesson. This is the year no one ate out or went to the movies and everyone counted their pennies.
Here is to a brighter 2010, one of miracles, happy conclusions, new beginnings, and maturity overflowing from everyone.
My other happy news is if you are spiritual, lightworkers, Indigo/Crystal, the last 10 years were tough. The next three promise to be easier and more exciting in how the worldview will change of certain concepts. Spirituality will become more accepted and be sought after to save the people who do not understand the divine or God  These are the people who did understand why being moral/honest/sincere was important or having a philosophical perspective is so necessary. These are the people that don't know where they stand on life after death or spiritual matters. They will now. and will accept all of you and me so much more.
