She Starts A New Chapter
She Starts A New Chapter
Laying the journal on table
Placing her hand on the beauty that is bound
This new book
The scent of a fresh page
Smelling the Infinite Possibilities
A blank canvas
Hers to fill in
She takes time to reflect
Before she fills this empty space
She must ensure that she leaves all that no longer serves her behind
She will not fill this story with anything other than dreams and beauty
Before she moves on
She holds a Ritual Clearing
On a separate loose page she writes down
All that she will leave behind
All that she will let go
All that is past
All that is not needed
All that is painful
All that is unnecessary
All that should be forgotten
All of her anger
All of her judgment
Her troubles, her worries
Her cares and her fears
Her low points and lack
Her negativity and self-doubt
Under titles that begin
I forgive you, I love you, I am sorry
The names – hers and others
The memories
The sorrow
The heartache
The guilt
The shame
The fear
She wraps it up
Sprinkling herbs and essences of purification and beauty
Adding hearts and kisses
Love and acceptance
Tying it with a ribbon of release
She lays it upon a hearth-scented pyre
Surrounded by deities that soothe her transition
Her beliefs
Her needs
Her soul
The flames
Catch
Her breath
Inhales
As she watches her past return to dust
She is cleansed
To begin
Again
Slowly the fire dies
Embers subdue
The last waft of infused air
Permeates
Her body
With this ritual completed
She sits
Closing her eyes
She returns her focus
Her energy
Within
Breathing out the closing of the last chapter
Returning to the present
There is work to be done
She surrounds herself with beauty
This is the most important moment of her life
Choices to be made
Chances to be taken
Changes to commence
The first task is to tune into the newness
The fresh scent of Possibilities is hers to fulfil
What does it smell like?
What colour does it need?
What energy does it feel?
What word sums it up?
What does it look like?
Her heart, her home, her health, her wealth, her purpose
Opening her book of life

Re-arousing her desires, her dreams, her destiny
Visualizing her future
Creating a map dotted with treasure, fortune, magic and miracles
Excitement starts to bubble
Forming a centre of energy between her heart and core
Strengthening her body, her soul, her resolve
She is ready now
Picking up her most beautiful pen
She swirls her wishes
Upon the blank page
Embellishing
All that awaits with her passion
She starts a new chapter
