August Wishes

The calendar keeps moving along, doesn’t it? With the new month, we start to see signs for back-to-school sales. I also know some schools start toward the end of this month. Seems a bit unfair, at least to students. When I was in school (yeah, I’m showing my age), we didn’t resume until after Labor Day. Anyway, change is a part of life, as “they” say.

Change is hard for some people. It’s easy to fall into a routine. With routine comes a feeling of safety and security. I’ve certainly felt that. When we returned from vacation in June, it was nice to get back into our usual routines, meal times, and bedtimes.

Still, change is an opportunity to look at life anew. Holding on to rigid routines or beliefs limits you. It prevents you from seeing the possibilities, opportunities, and blessings. For the last couple of months, as I settle down to go to sleep, I ask my divine advisors to help me let go of structures and beliefs that prevent me from seeing all that I am and that life can be. They served a purpose when I was younger to keep me safe and support me as I grew into an adult. But now, they box me in.

My wish for you this month is to imagine all those things that hold you back- fear, structure, rigid beliefs, and hurts- fall away so that you may live freely and recognize the magnificent person you truly are.
