I just had a BIG MONKEY, more like a Silverback or a Sasquatch, fall off my back! That huge animal has been hanging around my neck for many, many months and my spirit was drooping, sleep was challenged and joy was gone. It was hard to think about anything else. Ever have one on your back?

Probably so, but we all have different monkeys with different sizes and names. Various names can fall under categories such as: medical issues, grief issues, financial concerns, fractured relationships...you could name more, but each one of us has had them.
Sometimes, I think we need to carry that load while we ponder, pray, ponder some more and keep on praying. One of the monkeys lightened itself the other evening after I had a gentle conversation with my husband about his health. It was many months coming but timing was right, he was receptive and words came.
Timing is one thing that I have learned over the years, especially when abuse issues are the concern. Safety is paramount and there are situations that need to be planned out very carefully.
It's not an easy journey, we suffer in the meantime in many ways, but the divine, good Karma, the Universe, God...you name it...is there for each of us. We must be open and trust that answers will come but be willing to take action at the appropriate time. These answers never fail to amaze me, especially after that BIG MONKEY is gone!
