May you relinquish the need for control, rigidity and chaos

for presence, flexibility and peace.

As you navigate an unpredictable world, may compassion always be your compass.

May you see yourself the same way your heart sees you: bright, bold, powerful, strong, compassionate, and loving.

Hold on to your light—

That smile, that open heart,
That warmth in your soul
That makes you want to
Sing, dance, connect, create.

Don't let anyone else's hurt stifle that.

I see you.
Be you.
Shine.

hold on to your light

May you rest,
allowing yourself to let go of
all of this week's experiences
and anything you've been overthinking.

May you surrender it
to a power greater than you
and allow yourself to be still
here and now.

May you hold life with an open hand,
Like water that flows through fingers—
Neither grasped nor rejected—
Met with curiosity,
Savored with awareness,
Witnessed in its passing
With deep gratitude.

May you soften all your fears,
your resistance,
your limiting beliefs,
And open to life's natural transformation
That's showing you
the brighter you
beyond resistance.

May the seeds of hurt fade away, making room for seeds of deep joy and happiness to blossom. May each day bring new light and nourishment, so that you can fully savor the fruits of that joy and happiness.

May you be grounded.
May you be patient.
May you be present.
May you be peace.

When you meet conflict,
May you choose presence instead of absence.
May you choose consciousness instead of unconsciousness.
May you no longer react, but respond from authenticity
With courage, compassion, and power.

May you let go of the inner critic,
Rigidness and heavy judgment.
Return to the compassionate witness,
available to each experience
with openness,
curiosity,
kindness,
and grace.

May the voice of your heart be as grounding as a mother's lullaby. May it resonate in every part of your being.

May you be free of suffering in the root of all suffering. May you know happiness and the root of all happiness.

May you no longer settle for less than you deserve. You are worthy.

May you no longer stifle your light. May you fully express every moment of joy and happiness.

In moments when you've been triggered, misunderstood, and deeply hurt, may you remember who you are.

You are love.

You are liberation.

You are peace.

You are light.

I am ease.
I am flow.

What isn't for me
passes by
with ease and flow,

creating more ease
and flow
within.

May you let your guard down,
dissolve all illusions of separation,
heal the wounds in your heart,
and return to embodied wholeness.

May you embody wholeness.
May you embody fullness.
May you embody restorative restfulness and wellness.

May you be available to the purest of wisdom, that which cannot be spoken but only experienced through a direct connection with your heart.

May each day feel new,
No residue from yesterday,
No longing for the future.

Present with the gift that is today,
Present with the breath in your body,
Present with the smiling faces around you.

May you settle into who you are naturally.
No more overthinking,
No more second guessing,
No performing or misrepresenting
Your inherent wonderfulness.

Be you.

May you honor your needs. May they sit proudly and lovingly at the top of your priority list. May you honor yourself in a community that prioritizes self-care.

For real clarity
Stay open
Stay in pure presence
Be okay knowing you don't know

Focus less on finding certainty
Focus more on experiencing
The fullness of self
Whole, healed, and growing

One of the most profound experiences of source...

Though there are many things
that are out of our hands,
may your heart always be
a sacred space for you
to reconnect,
find peace,
clarity
and joy.
