“february, pour light where my essence is dim and illuminate any path that leads me back to myself. water my discernment so enough awareness grows from my wounds to recognize what deserves my energy and what doesn’t. may i see myself through healed eyes instead of broken mirrors.”

“january, magnetize my intentions so i can attract what is meant for me, cleanse my discernment so i can repel what isn’t. open pathways that direct me back to myself and close any doors that lead towards doubt. may the temptation to return to chapters i’ve outgrown never find me.”
