May you recognize the spaces in your life where hurt and trauma reside, the nuanced ways in which you’ve hidden it and managed to grow around it. May you tend to the pain, unrooting it from the source, cultivating new soil meant to bring forth new life and possibility. May you understand that even the experiences that you never saw coming, were not your fault and still have you shaken, can be a meaningful part of your journey. And may you realize that you have endured, and pushed beyond, the storms, the wind and the rain, that the only thing that could ever hold you back is you, and that this very moment presents the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
