Radiant Self (exploring my word of the year)

radiant light

dear me,

RADIANT SELF (I AM)

this year is dedicated to you.

You are the embodiment of the LIGHT. the LOVE. the TRUTH. you are my essence + unbounded

You come through my actions. my thoughts. my creations. my interactions + my being. (I AM ENERGY) - always expanding.

you are the AWAKENING. the arrival + the return. you are wholeness come to earth to express + experience self (oneness) in multifacited ways - the breaktrough

you are a mirror reflecting + shedding the layers so that i may see with my open heart - unconditionally. you teach me to THRIVE in the moment here + now -pulling me into the present when my mind wanders.

I channel you with gratitude from the heavens into the earth. you transform me into a tree spreading branches into the sky + roots deep into the crystaline structure* (I AM a BRIDGE). you urge me to follow the path i chose long long ago - and to sing my soul back into my body - DAILY

You urge me to change perspective again + again - letting life come to me. enjoying deep fulfilment + happiness. you urge me to embody the child. the mother. the goddess. + the infinite wisdom. you bring the unexpected - challenges included.

you are pure RADIANCE

(expressing the inside on the outside)

you call out ::

I AM a HEALER. I am a GRIOT. I AM an ARTIST. I AM the dancer. I AM the SONGSTRESS. I AM a RADIANT BEACON of LIGHT.

(stepping into my path)

Be Wonderful

Dear Home (A Love Letter)

When I participated in the Apartment Therapy January Cure, one of the first tasks was to bring flowers into the home.  One of the things I suggest in my Interior Alchemy Sessions is that you write a letter to your home, a thank you - a love letter of sorts.  So I combined the two:  flowers and a letter.

Dear Home,

Thank you for all you have provided for our family over the past year AND SOME. You have been a sacred container for our family stories and memories. We have gotten more comfortable here over time and really made you our own.  we do our best to keep you clean + organised and to decorate you to reflect our family values.

You have been witness to all of our emotions and held space for us to contemplate, rest, regenerate + celebrate. We have been able to live life authentically. We create our dreams here and share our meals here. We are grateful, we are truly blessed to call you home.

You have been a container for play, exploration + creativity for our Son. AnD OURSELVES. We have each carved out our special niche.

An Amazing JOURNEY IN AND OF ITSELF.

You have been our base to travel to and from. We look forward to returning to you after our family adventures. You know we love to travel and are always TALKING OF movING on, but for now we are staying on a little longer and we are grateful to you for holding space.

We look forward to the year to come. Thank you for being with us. Thank you for being you.

Much LOVE + LIGHT

BE Wonderful.

LaToya
