If you wish, take a few breaths and offer yourself this simple blessing:
May I carry forward what truly matters.
May I release what no longer serves.
May I walk into this new year with courage and care.
And then extend that light outward:
May we choose love again and again.
May our world remember its own goodness.
The light you seek for the year ahead is not waiting somewhere else.
It already lives in you—
in your capacity to begin again,
to forgive a little more
to open when it would be easier to close.
As this year turns, may you trust that something wise is moving you forward even when you cannot see the path.
With gratitude for you, and faith in what is unfolding!
