WELCOME 2024

We have closed out an entire year and opened our newborn eyes to a new one.

Each year comes and goes, but what truly matters is—are we well?

For those who haven’t yet taken their traditional year-end inventory or for those who’d like a fresh perspective, I’ve brought a set of questions that can help stimulate your energy centers and set the stage for a beautiful beginning. Of course, let’s remember to focus not on the external but on what we can realistically do and the resources we have within.

1. What can I do this year to feel safer, take care of my health, and improve my world? What does safety and meeting my basic needs mean to me? If things didn’t go well in these areas last year, what was my role in that, and how can I heal it? What do family, ancestry, and nature mean to me? What steps can I take this year to nurture these aspects more? If my work and livelihood faced challenges, what actions can I take?

2. How can I create more space in my life for joy, enthusiasm, playfulness, pleasure, inspiration, and creativity? Do I feel these enough? What are the sources that bring these into my life? If I struggled with balance in giving and receiving, where and how did that happen? What can I do this year to restore that balance?

3. What does power mean to me? What do I want to step into and sustain this year with courage, willpower, perseverance, and patience? Do I have the necessary resources and preparation? If not, where and how should I work on them? What strengthened or weakened me last year? How did I rise and fall? What did I learn from those experiences, and how will I use that knowledge?

4. What can I do this year to hear my heart’s song more clearly and to give and receive love more openly? What do I need to leave behind so I don’t carry forward the things that caused me to close my heart last year? What virtues and refinements do I want to cultivate? What new horizons do I wish to explore?

5. How can I express myself and my gifts freely and authentically this year? What held me back last year? What remained unspoken or unexpressed? Where did I try to control too much and carry unnecessary burdens?

6. What do I want to do differently, see differently, think differently, feel differently, and experience differently this year? What do I need to make that happen?

7. Have I honored my existence and myself in all of this? How can I receive the endless luminous blessings that life constantly offers me more clearly and effortlessly? What does my truth mean to me, and how did I embody it last year along with everything that came my way? Am I at peace with it? If not, what do I need to be?

May this year be one where we shine and share, embrace and be embraced. May we welcome it beautifully, and may it return to us all that we have sown—multiplied. ✨
