Karen and I have been calling 2016, the year that never was! This is because, by the time we closed out 2015 energies, 2017 energies were arriving.
If you wonder why your results are not what you thought they would be, it is because the energetic focus has been on clearing up and clearing out the old: relationships, beliefs, old self-images, karma - you name it!
popped an OTC pain pill so that I could keep on working? Plenty!
