Day 166: Imani

As i begin this day, may i strengthen my practice of trust in myself and take each step forward with my head up even when confidence wanes or the path ahead is unclear. These liminal spaces provide opportunities for deep reflection, checking in and seeing what is coming up for me that needs attention.

May i practice faith in the living wisdoms of the ancestors whom i claim and who claim me, those whose lives and decisions made possible mine. Their mistakes and lessons, instructions and wisdoms often emerge as messages from within my gut. May i listen with humble openness.

As i move through this day, may i trust that people will be who they are, who they show themselves to be, and may i remember that i have the agency to engage or not engage accordingly. It is unjust for me to hope or expect that others will be anything other than who or what they are.

And may i always trust in the higher power that lives within me, that it will step in when needed to elevate my thoughts and behaviors so that i can be a force for good in my family and community.
