Every day has opportunity for change.

Every year has an opportunity for reflection.

Each of us is experiencing both.

We have been given the time to better understand what is important.

We have been witnesses to the unknown.

As we come together, to share our changes, to speak of our reflections, we become witnesses to knowing ourselves better. We have joined together to fulfill what is important to our communities, families and Self.

Whichever way your experience has taken you, remember: the sun will rise, the moon will set, inner peace will return, and we shall stand in our new elements of change. That’s who we are; human evolution cannot exist without change.

Therefore, change, reflection and fulfilling what is important will always be innate.
Once again, it’s time to rise above, reach for comfort when needed, extend our hands to others, and mostly, be kind to Self.

May the world see the light of love as a path to heal. May we follow the stars with courage. May life as we know it today rest on the arm of trust while we sleep peacefully through the unknown.
