This morning I lit a bee’s wax candle and placed it on the kitchen table.

I then stood before the glowing light of the flame… closed my eyes… opened my heart and blessed everything and everyone that I had experienced in 2009.

Even the negative… like finding out my oldest daughter is moving to Michigan this Spring… being aware that my dad has been gone for a year now… and I will not see him again and my sweet dog passing away.

Although all these events were painful and always will touch on sad moments throughout my life… they have all taught me the valuable lesson on “letting go”.

Letting go opens the doorway to change and rebirth… and I want to trust and be in the flow of my own life cycles and all the ups and downs that life truly is all about.

So I bless my year of 2009… hold its memories in my heart… and trust that 2010 will be all that I hope for… and my wish for all of you is the same.

Happy New Year,
Victoria
