The last year of my life has been chalked full of goodbyes. I said goodbye to my mother, and others who transitioned. There were also goodbyes to dear friends who moved, changed direction, and many times I listened and grieved with others who said ‘goodbye’ to their careers, their stability, their livelihood. While it was a year of so much letting go, and so much grieving, every experience gave me an opportunity to reflect, express appreciation, and grow stronger in the essence of gratitude, and my belief in grace.
This year? I’m dedicating it to the year of hellos. As one of my practices, I sit on the throne (ha…yes, I did say that), and read the daily affirmation from Miracle Consciousness. It is a life practice that connects me to the miracle of each life I encounter, seeing them as pure light, pure love. Today’s affirmation: I choose peace. I choose love. I choose joy. It is a choice.
Perfect for my year of hellos.
This was present in my in-box today, another perfect affirmation for my year of hellos:
I release the belief that anything or anyone outside of me can prevent my good. I participate in the circulation of blessings by giving generously and knowing I will receive in abundance. I keep my thoughts on gratitude and trust the constant flow of good in my life. I forgive myself and others for past hurts and receive the wealth of a peaceful heart.
