***
May I shed old skins like a snake
May I unravel the knots & gnarled vines that have been keeping me stuck in the stories of my self-imposed limitations
May I invite in forgiveness, like a friend, to saturate every cell & fiber of me
To soften + heal the hurts that I hold
To invite compassion into my intimate relationships, and my vision of myself
May I step into this new day, new year, new world
Embodying every ounce of my power, fearlessly
Held in community
Held by my own self
May I love freely & truly
May I dedicate my precious energy to that which matters most to me
May I experience joy, pleasure, delight, surprise, wonder
May I keep my eyes open & find inspiration + kinship in every flower I pass
May I receive the lessons + medicine that are meant for me, and grow all the more wise + resilient from it
May I be open to all of my dreams coming true, and life becoming even better, more expansive, abundant, & fulfilling than I ever could have imagined.
& so it shall be.
