I let go

Of the 30 minutes of conversation planning for conversations that will likely never happen.

I open to the blessings

Of the 23 and a half hours that filled the rest of my day with joy.

I welcome my purpose

To be imperfect but to be present.

I let go

Of the pressure to do it all, I am just too tired

I open to the blessings

Of my family, friends and community who see me when I am too tired to ask

I welcome my purpose

To take the hand offered in faith

I let go

Of thinking I need to know all of the answers. As much as I want to, life would be so much simpler; but it would be so much less too.

I open to the blessings

Of experiencing my path, of the stumbles that when I get up remind me that I was never alone.

I welcome my purpose

To listen when I am feeling lost

I let go

Of hiding from the shadows. Sometimes life hurts, it’s through those dark times we find our internal light if we put in the work.

I open to the blessings

Of being guided with heart

I welcome my purpose

To bring myself back from the little box of shame

I let go

Of giving what I don’t want to give out of politeness

I open to the blessings

Of strength from working through the shadows

I welcome my purpose

To feel what would otherwise get lost in the noise

I let go

Of the constant noise

I open to the blessings

Of silence and self reflection

I welcome my purpose

To slow down among the chaos

I let go

Of the need for control

I open to the blessings

Of independence

I welcome my purpose

To help others find their space
