This year, I will live by the Lunar calendar and celebrate the start of the new year today. I will remove January 2019 from my life. The page is torn from my calendar. It never existed. It is gone forever – taking with it all the ugliness and pain and suffering that this blighted month inflicted.
The new year has already started in the East, allowing us all another chance to start anew. I will celebrate it, along with the Chinese, as the beginning of Spring: the season of rebirth and revival and rejuvenation. I will wash my hair and cleanse my body and decontaminate my mind – rinse out the grime and drain away the toxic.
I will make way for beauty and grace and lightness to enter my life again, as I start my year afresh. I will extend invitations to house guests, make time for loved ones, create space for laughter and revel in the comfort of friends. I will repair what has been eroded, glory in being myself once more and find my own light.
“There is nothing more rare nor more beautiful than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” ~ Steve Maraboli
