A Year of Mastery Begins Today
Year of Mastery
The new year is born fresh and new! Every day is your next step into your new year filled with infinite possibilities. Allow the beauty of the life ahead to fill you with curiosity and love. Be mindful to create but do not form attachments to the outcome. If you are feeling resistance as you begin the process take heart. It is normal to discover your limiting beliefs and blocks which give you vital information. Be not weary in well doing. Proceed with caution and a smile. Allow those resistant feelings to transform into their exalted state and be in agreement to take baby steps!
Native American culture chooses a new word for a new year to power that year with energy and flow. It is a directive to govern your time and give form to your world. Pick a word today to guide your life. I write the word on a strip of cloth and then tie in on a branch of my 75 year old apricot tree. My word is sanctified under the sun, the stars, and the moon. It endures all weather and seasons. Our words are strong and give guidance as you can see the tree from my kitchen window. Our tree is an old grandmother tree holding secrets and rooting in love for over 75 years of standing firm and bearing fruit. She has been pruned and she has bloomed. She is gnarled and ornate in her simple wisdom. Find your word and tie in on a tree or write it on a rock and ‘plant’ it outside!

Mastery happens while you are living life. Baby steps and focus and selective choices. You are the one who moves the needle on the dial. You must be in love with yourself and your life to gain mastery. Pay attention to where you are speaking ill to self and banish that shadow voice. Take notes first and then you can process those rogue thoughts and beliefs. They are tools for deeper work, but do not allow that voice to be the authority in your head.
Permission slip:
I have permission to live a beautiful life on my terms. I can make mistakes and still accelerate. I can try new things and feel dumb and silly. I can be good and things and celebrate being successful and awesome. I can celebrate others too.
I have permission to be me.

I love me. I am a powerful source of light and joy. I can stand in my power and be comfortable in my own skin. I forgive the past. Live in the present. And look forward to the bright future.
My promise to fail this year at a few things and keep a record of my goof ups so I can know I am stretching myself.

The New Year is Born Every New Day
By Rainbow Abegg
A year is born each day and is brand new.
Let it be in awe of its clean, innocent, now!
Be in your life fully present.
Call in what you must create and release what you must let go of.
Show this new potential your might.
Be filled with courage and resolve.
Settle not for anything less than the divine would bestow upon you the beloved.
You are the beloved because you exist.
You have not earned it.
You have not been your own creator and yet within the mystery you do orchestrate!
Be in your power and light.
Be the love that you are.
Be.
Be-loved.
A new day is now bestowed and you may take it into your palm as star dust and wish beauty into your life.
