Next Step New Start: Awaken What’S Possible One Day at a Time

By Josette Veltri

Everyone experiences loss at some point on this journey called life. Some experience the loss of a loved one; others, a place or possession cherished. Grief is a unique expression for everyone because we are unique expressions of the Creator.

Open your heart and allow each reminder to inspire and encourage you to take the next step to a new start.

To everything there is an appointed season, a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to be born, a time to die. This is an appointed season; live only in this moment, not in the shadows of yesterday.

TO YOUR NEW WORLD

Jan%201.jpg

JANUARY 1

Hope

Look up after a rain shower to find the rainbow of promise. Look up in the darkness of night to find a star's guiding light. Stand at the shoreline to feel the Creator's power within. Now cry if you must, but don't you quit.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., anxious, trusting)

JANUARY 2

The Rose

Just remember, in winter, far beneath the bitter snows lies the seed that, with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose. Spring always follows winter; wait for it, and the light you seek will be found. There will always be another flower and you its only seed.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., lost, hopeful)

Jan%203.jpg

JANUARY 3

Vacation

Is it time to take your thoughts on vacation? Yes, if you continue to worry, fear, and doubt. Yes, if you are unable to hear the Creator's whispers of comfort and peace. Take a deep vacation breath and know you're not alone.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., fretful, calm)

January4.jpg

JANUARY 4

Door

We are reminded when one door closes, another opens, but so often, we look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., shut, unlocked)

January5.jpg

JANUARY 5

Rest

Be gentle and compassionate with yourself today. Rest and renew your strength. This is the perfect moment to embrace, love, and cherish your inner child. Give yourself permission to let go and let the Spirit's compassion cradle you.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., tired, serene)

Jan%206%20copy.jpg

JANUARY 6

Healing Heart

We can't change the past, but we can change how we perceive the past. Treasured memories are sealed within the healing heart.

(e.g., broken, happy)

jan%208.jpg

JANUARY 8

Faith

Faith is knowing the sun is shining behind the clouds. Faith is reaching for the higher power within to guide and direct us when our humanness says, I can't. Faith is recognizing our doubts and believing anyway.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., anxious, peaceful)

jan%209.jpg

JANUARY 9

Promise

Some will remain in the arms of yesterday because today's road appears less traveled. Others will be stuck in a rut, believing they can't get out. Yet others will trust in the promise of a rainbow and take the next step to a new start. Remember the rainbow, and when you're ready, you will find your new beginning.

Choose and write down a word or words that describe your feelings at this moment. Meditate on each word, and the areas needing to be healed will be revealed.

(e.g., despair, hopeful)

jan%2010.jpg

JANUARY 10

Dream

It's never too late or too early to dream. You are never too young, too old, too happy, or too unhappy to dream. Tap into the wonder of your inner child's dream and experience the wonder of you.

What to Do

When you don't know what to do, ask in faith, believing you are divinely directed. Trust the guidance needed will be received. Let go of your fears and worries. Listen and you will hear.
