Shine Brightly

 

"Embracing the totality of your experience is one

definition of having loving-kindness for your self."

Pema Chodron

In the last hours of this year, I will light a candle ... two ... or maybe more! New intentions will be created, accompanied by positive visualizations, uplifting mantras, and an awareness of the sacred within me.

I will recall my strengths, and minimize self-imposed fears. Although there is no control over life unfolding, I am capable of recognizing healthy opportunities and acknowledging all shapes of learning. The power lies within the choices I make.

Standing present in each new moment, I will endeavor to remain kind hearted;  to remember we are all one;  and acknowledge the strengths of all peoples.  My intention is to create peace in my own life, to be nurtured by nature, and to shine brightly as a light to all.
