A New Year's Blessing
May this new year unfold with light and promise.
May your body feel strong, your mind feel clear
and your heart remain open to possibility.
May you awaken with purpose in your breath
and rest at night knowing you did enough.
May opportunity meet your effort,
patience walk beside ambition,
and challenges sharpen you
without ever hardening you.
May laughter arrive often and stay awhile.
May love, old and new, grow deeper, truer.
May you give freely without losing yourself,
and receive fully, without hesitation.
And when the road bends without warning,
may you trust the strength you’ve earned
and the wisdom you carry to guide you.
May this be a year of steady growth,
honest joy, and gentle courage,
a future that feels not only hopeful,
but open and welcoming too.
