We often await the new year and then fail to use it to achieve what we planned to do. After a few months, our new goals have faded into old routines, abandoned except for our guilt for failing to accomplish them.

But January opens the door to 365 days,
each offering 24 hours
as a gift
to change.

The beauty of change is that it is a process,
a daily practice
meant to teach us
what is necessary to grow.

Each step builds habits
that manifest our good.

Blessings unfold by the moment,
through each increment of exercise,
idea, lesson, word.

Dedication is a daily
rather than an annual devotion.

Each step must slow down to appreciate itself.

Every instant is the breath that loves us
into the changes that we desire.

Power is when we seize the moment
to change.
