December 19 – Healing. What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011? (Author: Leonie Allan)
I have three sisters and we are very close. There are two stand-out healing situations that happened this year which didn't involved me directly, but because I love my sisters so much their healing has healed a part of me.
My younger sister Linda, after years of trying, gave birth to the amazing Evan Brian Bookman in February. He is a miracle baby and a true delight for all of us. We longed for him for such a time that he has healed our hearts by coming into the world and making Linda a mother and Matt a father and me an Aunt once again. It's absolutely beautiful to see Linda's family grow and to spend time with this beautiful little person.
The other healing situation is my sister Diane and her son Ian. After 7 years of difficulty and struggle with understanding how to care for her non-verbal, highly sensitive (food allergies and everything else) autistic son and help heal him she has finally found the way - by healing herself first and bringing that energy to him and her family. Ian has greatly benefited from this and is having many more peaceful and comfortable days than he ever did before. This really happened this year. She is part of many online communities, is a large part of the community of parents of autistic children, and with her wisdom ends up helping all sorts of people - most of all her own family. Many find her through her site AfterAutism. Because I love her and Ian so much it has also healed a part of me.
This year I'd like to heal my body - from the inside out. I know exactly what that means. The cleanse I'm starting now is the kickoff.
