You’re getting through Mach1. My fears need to be faced. I have faced many over my years and now yes it’s time to unstick.

I am navigating personal and family grief this holidays and I am tempted and to hide away and at the same time I am going through the discomfort to achieve what I want and what is important.

Work is going well. On my work days, I am taking care of myself, looking after my place and my son, getting out for exercise and saying no to most else. It requires (success with my work) focus, wellness and fitness.

I am strengthening my financial landscape whatever happens (D or not). I am working with a good financial advisor and have put together a good retirement strategy. It’s getting to that stage that causes me anxiety to be honest. Present finances are stressful. With steady gradual return to my work the financial stress will lessen and things will be tight but manageable (think economical GAL on top of fixed expenses). I am being thrifty this Christmas and prioritizing my budget.

I am working on a plan to keep the house/prepare to buy house out if I can. I will be ok regardless. It’s most important to me that I keep making courageous and consistent progress.

My fears about the finances are mostly about my desire to leave a legacy for my kids, to be healthy in every aspect and to have good relationships moving forward from a place of strength. I want to keep growing in my relationship with my grandkid(s).

I have a L and that part is in play. Waiting still on summary of legal guidance for various scenarios. I don’t really have anything new to ask of L right now but I expect that to change soon.
