In 2018, I created a Prayer Box for myself. For almost a year, I scribbled my worries, wishes and prayers onto scraps of paper and placed them inside the box for safekeeping. Eventually life got busy and I completely forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago. As I went through and read each one, I was in awe of the fact that I had not only survived every worry, but that every wish came true, and every prayer was answered.

This box was an act of self-preservation. There is so much going on in the world, it’s hard not to feel the weight of it all with every step. This box saved me; it allowed me to surrender the heaviness, even just for a moment.

I’m learning that now more than ever, words have power, and our frequency or vibration determines the way we perceive the world and how we react. My wish for 2020 is that we can master the practice of self-preservation enough to be fully present in our bodies, and connected to our personal power. It is from that place that we can show up in the ways we are being called, and make our best impact in the world.
