Your Sacred Self
Living Your Real Life
New Year Resolve
Today is the first day of a New Year -- and a new time in our lives. There is excitement in the air, for the gift we receive today is time -- a new day, a new year, another chance to heal and grow. Time is the medium of evolution allowing the unfolding of life’s purpose. The days of this New Year, used consciously, will awaken our purpose, lead to our true selves and full expression of our gifts.
Time used constructively heals the wounds that would crush our life’s expression and gifts. Time used mindfully carries us like a mighty river to our depth. Time used consciously transforms our life experience into wisdom and illumination. No wonder we’re excited at the prospects of this New Year and its gift of time.
To heal takes time. We must proceed slowly, day by day, unraveling the damage that confounds the full expression of our identity. Our wounds run deep for they were inflicted practically from our first breath. The painstaking work of loving all the lost parts of ourselves back to life, vitality, and full expression must be done slowly, day by day, throughout this bright New Year.
Today we begin the journey back to our self and our truth. We take the hand of our frightened child who was shamed into believing he/she was of little value and hold this child in our care and protection. We comfort this terrified little one, buried within us, who hid for safe-keeping until this very moment. We open his/her prison and with our love breathe life into his/her forgotten existence.
Today we begin a sacred journey through a New Year. Slowly, through the days of this new time, we develop our dishonored child into the fulfilled adult life intended.
Affirm: This bright New Year, I begin a new time in my life.
