Sacred Rose

Day 1: Full Moon in Leo

Dear Blossoming Soul,

This year, these letters will be for me, but an open window for those who are following to peek into. To see my journey. To see how I internalize the love, the lessons, and the energy of the month. This will be different than the last two years. My goal isn’t to instruct or teach.

My goal is to just be and to allow anyone who wants to, to see.

Today feels like standing on the edge of something complete. To be honest, I’ve been standing at the edge of this discomfort for a while. That place where something feels not finished, per say, but lived.

I can feel myself saying goodbye to a version of me that knew how to be safe, likable, emotionally reliable, and good. She carried me far. She kept me tethered to familiar forms of joy that no longer feel alive for me anymore.

There has been grief in this leave-taking. There has also been relief. And uncertainty. And discomfort. It’s like having an itch and scratching all around it, but never being able to find relief. I don’t know who I am becoming yet. That image hasn’t materialized for me yet, and I am trying not to force certainty. I only know that I can’t keep rehearsing the old roles.

So, today, I let the rose bloom fully, trusting that shedding will come when it’s time.

Alongside this, I drew a card that reads simply: WE ARE NATURE.

Not as a metaphor, but as a remembering.
That I don’t exist apart from the living world, but that I am it.

My body, my grief, my becoming all belong here. I feel called back into a more grounded way of living. Back into reverence. Back into custodianship. Back into seeing the sacredness woven through everything.

I don’t need to transcend my life. I need to inhabit it more honestly.

This card reads to me as a call, as an invitation back into my body, back into the earth, back into right relationship.

My life here is not about observing, but about being an active participant.

It is about releasing my grip on old identities and living in the world, not as a new role, but as part of the world itself.

Always,
Your Trusted Friend 🌹
