I started an article with the top 12 things I learned in 2021 but I donât feel right sharing it yet.
What my heart is telling me is to tell you what I told myself in my journal today. So letâs snuggle up on the couch with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate and hear me outâŠ
I acknowledge you
Friend. Wow! You have really worked so hard this year. I see all your efforts to be a force for good in the world! I see the love and care you have put into your relationships, your work, and yourself. Youâve really gotten better at setting boundaries and caring for yourself. But it was not easy at times and I commend you for your commitment to the process.
You are enough the way you are. Even when you canât perform or do, you are lovable and loved âalways.
Your smile is contagious and radiates your true beauty. Your tears are signs that you are healing.
You make this world better the more you let go of the patterns youâve taken on for survival and make choices based on what makes you feel joy, peace, love, or relief inside. Whatâs true for you matters.
Thank you for your tenacity. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for letting things go that are not serving you.
Thank you for everything you did this year, the actions you took, the demons you slew or embraced â but most importantly, thank you for being YOU.
Hereâs a diploma of accomplishment I made for you as recognition for getting through 2021.
Wishes and blessings
I know this year has sometimes felt like a fucking nightmare.
So with that, here is my prayer for you.
If your heart is hurting, I wish you grace.
If your mind is confused, I wish you clarity.
If you are grieving, I wish you relief.
If your body is aching, I wish you healing.
If you feel alone, I wish you connection.
If you feel scared, I wish you a safe haven.
If you are worried, I wish you peace.
If you are tense, I wish you ease.
If you are hard on yourself, I wish you self-compassion.
If you feel displaced, I wish you feel at home.
If you feel shame, I wish you redemption.
If you feel lack, I wish you abundance.
If you feel tired, I wish you rest.
If you feel sad, I wish you a place to grieve.
If you feel joy, I wish you the ability to enjoy it.
I bless you.
I bless you.
I bless you.
Final thoughts - Forward together (?)
I imagine it like we individually and collectively burned a shit ton of Karma this year. Like, what was typically processed in years or lifetimes we took on in 2021. Phew!! All because we are ready to wake up in the morning to a reality where we belong to ourselves and to Love in a sacred container called the body.
We are ready to remember that we are actually sovereign beings who are interconnected with other sovereign beings, not separate fortresses that need fixing or to GET MORE of something.
We are an extension of the Divine AND the very physical planet earth and we exist in a delicate ecosystem that thrives when centered in love, care, and in synch with life and withers when centered in fear, disconnection, and capitalism.
In other words, âotheringâ is so last season and UNITY (with healthy boundaries) is so 2022!!
To my friends in Colorado, my heart is especially with you today đ.
Much love and curiosity for the endless opportunities opening in 2022,
Karna
P.S. If you feel like a smile you can watch this cute transformation video I made for NYE 2014! Oh, how innocent I was then⊠but how sweet that Iâve been at this for so long. Feeling tenderness for myself!
