Don’t look now…here comes 2025! 😊
Yesterday I wrote about my word of the year for 2024. Today I bring you my new one.
It came to me when reading a prayer poem with my Lectio Divina group. The text is called "When I'm grieving a goodbye" by Arianna Braithwaite Lehn. Here is the part that brought me the word:
When I'm asked to
open my hands and
release what I've held --
held tightly --
place your peace
between the fingers.
I couldn't stop thinking and writing about the word release.
What I have come to love about it is that it can be activated in any moment needed. I found myself already using it once I committed to it. It is now written on a magnet displayed on my refrigerator for me to see when I come in the room.
Today in my journal I made a list of release statements. There will certainly be more. But I'm off to a good start.
Here's to 2025 where I will...
Release fear of the future.
Release money concerns.
Release anxiety caused by inaction.
Release things that aren't coming back.
Release the need to know the future.
Release frustrations when they arise.
Release everything I can't control.
Release anger about stuff left behind I have to deal with.
Release wondering.
Release any frozen feeling -- release into the melting spirit of love, faith, and trust.
Release the need to know -- I don't know!
Release all the stuff here that does not serve me.
I leave you with "Here Comes the Sun," because I know "It's all right!"
