Tonight we graciously say, “’til we meet again” to the people and things that we wish not to stay.

Not a full goodbye… for the energy cannot be destroyed no matter our efforts to try.

It will transform to show its face once more, as repeated patterns of lessons we’ve got in store.

Or as the honor that comes with learning how to love: A transformation that can only come from above.

So take a moment to acknowledge your setbacks and bad relationships. Show gratitude for the challenges and protective ego trips.

Then step forward into the new year with humble confidence that squashes any bits of menacing fear.

Know that you are a fierce yet patient go-getter. Step forward knowing you can help the world become better.

Happy New Year!
