I didn't respond earlier as I just wasn't sure. I worried for a bit as things have been so darn hard (for many of us), but then I realised its not going to be a negative thing at all. I've become really open to the energy of the last few months - I've been pushing hard to get through a lot of issues and I'm nearly there .

Personally - I'm looking forward to the release of the buildup, its still a bit off putting the tension in the air. Things are really looking up in my view, some driving force pushed me to quit my job even though I need the money. Something tells me to stay close to my family and I'm grateful to the fact I've stayed on track.
I've been banging on for YEARS about the need to save seeds and grow our own food, reduce consumption - if I ever gave my views on the issues with food control people looked at me like I was nuts and building a bomb shelter in the backyard. We are now remembering the real value of Community and are feeling the need to return to their roots spiritually too.

Globally - YAY. People are realising just how empty this ridiculous consumption really is. Its a good time for re-evaluation and Im SURE the world is going to benefit and remember to be kinder to each other and ourselves.
