In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=4561\">2013<\/a>, it was about embracing fear. In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=4974\">2014<\/a>, it was sitting my butt down and writing. In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=5599\">2016<\/a>, it was about leading. In <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=5789\">2017<\/a>, it was about persistence.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=6076\">2020<\/a>, it was about valuing the things (and people) I love.

In <a href=\"https:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=6528\">2023<\/a>, it was about building the life that I want.<\/p>\n<p>Well literally, it&#8217;s surgery to excise those terrible cells. Or as I have described it, clearing out the insurrectionists.  It&#8217;s annoying that I just have to do all of this to kick them out.  To tell them that they don&#8217;t belong.<\/p>\n<p>In all the ways that I have written about this&#8230;I have to be completely literal this time. It&#8217;s not about metaphorically getting malignancy out.  It&#8217;s not just wishing them out in my mind, meditating and believing that they can shrink, evolve, back to normal. It&#8217;s literally excising them so that they are no longer in the body.<\/p>\n<p>In a different world, I could say that it&#8217;s a mental block that I want to cut out myself.  But I am jealous of that, because there are no consequences.  There&#8217;s no long-term damage or risk.  <\/p>\n<p>But I hope by doing this, by submitting my whole body for this exorcism that it means that my life will be open. But I didn&#8217;t even know that they were there.  I didn&#8217;t even know that they had anything to do with anything.  So wishing the best for myself.
