🪩This isn’t a resolution.
It’s a threshold.
A sacred turning.
A whispered invitation to step into the liminal space between what was and what’s yet to be.

As we cross into the unknown,
may we walk with a clear heart and an open spirit.
Let last year stay where it belongs…
behind you. In the earth.
Composted into wisdom.

This is the season of release…
not to forget, but to integrate.
To harvest every lesson and let go of what weighs you down.
⟡ Forgive yourself for what you didn’t know.
⟡ Forgive others for what they could not give.
⟡ Let grief teach, not tether.
⟡ Let love return in new form.

We’re not here to be perfect.
We’re here to try.
To feel deeply.
To learn, unlearn, and return to ourselves.

This is your invitation to slow down.
To reflect.
To shed.
To call your soul back home.

✨ Walk into the new year like a ritual…
with intention, gentleness, and grace.
May your path be lit by truth,
your heart led by wonder,
and your hands ready to make this world
a softer, brighter, wilder place.

🕯️ From all of us at The Enchanted Altar…
thank you for walking with us.
We’ll see you in the light.
