Alone in the dark, she sat among flickering tea lights and swirls of incense smoke.
In her hands she held a sheaf of handwritten letters to the Universe, letters into which she'd poured all her hurt, shame, fear, guilt, anger, and apologies.
She asked for help releasing those energies, and she lit the paper on fire, dropping it into a fire-safe container.
She watched the flames dance and tossed in a handful of lavender and sage. She drank in the soothing scents of the two herbs as they purified her circle.
She took three slow, deep, cleansing breaths.
In her mind she went to her healing space, a space she created with the powers of hope and imagination.
There she smiled, allowing the healing energy to flow into her body from every possible source.
She filled herself with the bliss of a future free of all she had just released, and she gave thanks.

Last week I made my goal to review my day at the end before bed and record it in a Progress-Catcher form. I drew a new form each time I performed this task, and I really enjoyed the creativity the simple form allowed. I wrote with different colored gel pens and doodled when I felt like it. I filled up the pages in minutes. And I loved my little mood pie, and watching how big a slice my happy face encompassed each night, even if the sad and mad faces got a little bit bigger on some days.
I didn't say it here, but I also had a goal of beginning a detox this week. Detoxes can be brutal. I will write more about them next week. My goal for this week is to stick with the detox and keep reflecting on my day.
My releasing ceremony will happen tonight or tomorrow night. My toddler and I will spend the next three days in Bonita Springs, FL at a festival celebrating Yule, the Winter Solstice, called Yule Like It. I wish I could stay for the whole event, but I'm having my first book signing in Orlando on Saturday.
I would love to encourage you on your healing journey. If you would like that, send me a message on facebook asking to join our Healing in Public Support Group. <3
