A New Year to Rise

Close this year’s doornot in fear but in love. Love yourself enough to never look back, but face the new year with dreams in sight. Turn your shining self toward the coming year, filled with the possibility of a fearless, open heart. This year, let love in then let love grow. Find a place for gratitude to permeate your being. Manifest your intention with action-filled faith. Look toward the moon when darkness starts to fall. For the sun will always rise with a new chance to shine.
