This Year

This year I will be stronger.

I will breathe deeply through the doubt.

I will cast aside the ill-placed guilt and hold fast to the hope of better moments.

I will leave the past where it cannot hurt me and reach my hand out to grasp the strands of tomorrow.

 

This year I will heal my heart.

I will give in to the sorrow and anger, letting it rage until it dies.

I will strip away the vines of fear that bind me and bask in the light of hope.

I will tend the wounds left behind with forgiveness.

 

This year I will gift myself love, courage, power, permission, forgiveness, and understanding.

I will bolster my soul with truth and integrity.

I will strengthen my dreams with trust and ingenuity.

I will nourish my mind with contradiction and depth.

 

This year will be different.
