OurPath (formerly SSN) Open Forum / Compass exercise for year ahead....

**Posted by Leah** December 29, 2019 2:21 pm

Hello All,

I just wanted to share this as a friend sent it to me and I downloaded this and did it for myself today. I am trying to visualize a more positive decade ahead and this was a good exercise for looking back at the wins over the last year.

It’s free and you can just print it out for your new year compass and letting go of 2019.

I hope you all have a better new year and can leave behind what is no longer serving your life and happiness!

Thanks for posting this Leah. I haven't had the heart to unpack the past yet, and admit thinking about it sounds depressing, but it's probably necessary at some point. Maybe that section can wait another year for me. I did feel a little tearful (in a good way) in glancing at some of the gentle future planning in the booklet and am looking forward to examining it more in depth. I've felt so defeated and stuck emotionally even though my situation was of shorter duration and less involved than most. Thanks for providing a link to some concrete ways to work on some hopeful goals for the coming year. I needed something hopeful. Good thoughts for everyone as we keep moving forward.

Thank you for sharing this! I invited a friend of mine to do this together with me. Tomorrow night we're going to start sharing our compasses over Zoom.
I found going back over 2020 I actually had a remarkable year, and did many interesting things, considering the hot mess of Covid, discovery of perverse, homosexual activities, leaving my husband, and ultimately disclosure from him.
I'm sure doubling up with a psychotherapist and psychologist for the past year, having an incredible support group, has helped immensely.
I plan on living an ultra-fabulous life moving forward!
I think he probably did me a favor...I'm sure I'm going to be better off than him, in the long run.
I have nothing on my conscience and did everything in my power to be a loving, supportive wife to a lying, manipulative, fake man. He's a master of disguise and hiding his true identify.
I'm authentic, genuine and I think I will do just fine.
Happy holidays everyone, stay safe!
