52 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2022 Welcome 2022! As we begin our ninth year of "Believe…" it's hard to "believe" it's been that many years! To all the amazing ladies who have supported this effort: THANK YOU! We have laughed, shed tears, learned, struggled, and grown together. We have tackled difficult-to- understand studies, thrived on others, and overall become better women as well as more familiar with what God desires us to become. At least I have! So thank you for your attendance, commitment, prayers, class discussions, and your overall amazingness! The first series we will study in this brand new year will be sharing our experiences with God's touch in our lives, based on the words to the song Waymaker, by Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu, known professionally as Sinach, a Nigerian singer/songwriter and senior worship leader at Loveworld USA, a Christian programming network. It's a beautiful song, and if you haven't heard it, look it up! If you would like to join a nondenominational group of beautiful women here at Four Seasons and come to study the Word of God with us, we meet every Friday from 10:30 to 11:45 am in The Lodge Game Room. We will resume our new year's study on Jan. 7, 2022! Come, join us! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine, (951) 922-6829 or egcellent@ msn.com "Believe…" Women's Bible Study Bereavement Group It is now the start of a new year. Many people decide the new year calls for making changes or resolutions. Usually they are about eating better, losing weight, and exercising more, along with others. What about for someone who is grieving? Do you make a resolution to stop crying so much? Do you decide with the new year you will be done grieving? Well, as much as you try the work associated with grieving is something you can't just decide to be done with. When you put off doing the grieving it just comes back at a later time and often even harder than when going through it the first time. Instead of trying to control your grieving, give yourself permission to feel whatever feelings you have. Resolve yourself to the task of feeling emotions, all of them, and to take whatever amount of time you need to grieve. Grieving is an ongoing process and each person has their own timeline. Allow it to happen. Take time to think about the memories of who passed and let some of those bring tears of joy as you remember, and maybe even a smile, to your face. Maybe resolve to try some new things you haven't done before but are interested in. It's a new year and a chance for you to decide who you are and what you want to do now. Good luck with your endeavor and remember if you feel you need more support or would like to be with others who have experienced loss, please consider joining our group.

Let's work hard to make 2022 a year of healing and restoration. Division never solved problems. We can do this if we put our heads together and work on a solution to benefit everyone. What makes a receipt special? I believe that the key ingredient is love. But I am here to tell you there are no secrets when it comes to prayer; all it takes is faith, agreement, and love. Come and join us in prayer on the first Monday of each month at 9 am in the Game Room. Looking forward to seeing you. You can reach me at eaglewatchwb@aol.com. ~ Cookie Bonner
