There were many highlights in my year,however,2012 will go down as “THE YEAR JUDI STOOD ALONE AGAINST ADVERSITY AND WON!”

I endured every type of hardship imaginable – broken relationship,homelessness for three months,depression,unemployment,sick children,taxation and social security issues and a blown up car.

My life as a partnered,middle class,educated and professional person came crashing down around me

As I end this Annus Horibilis I am proud of what I have achieved.I have a beautiful townhouse,completely and painstakingly refurbished.I have an awesome new job in OT Recovery.I have my mental and physical health back.My children are all happy and healthy and settled.My car has had major repairs and is a dream now.My financial affairs are in order.

So what lessons have I learnt?

• To fight for what is rightfully mine.
• To stand up for myself.
• To appreciate the smallest of things.
• To value my friends.
• To be grateful for  every little thing in my life.
• To never give up.
• To stop being a victim and accept accountabilty for my life.
• To have faith in the Law of Attraction.
• To regain my self confidence after extensive emotional abuse.
• To embrace the value and comfort of my extended family.
• To always find a way.
