So many of us are living with challenges, with pain, with frustration and fury. I wrote this yesterday for my Goddess-daughter and shared it on Facebook today.  Now here it is, for you.

Start with a self-blessing:

Place your hands flat on the top of your head and breathe deeply for a couple of minutes. If you work with a Goddess, visualize Her. Then say aloud or to yourself: I am here in this present moment. I am here. Through my hands, I place Your blessing upon me In all that I am and all that I do. Your power and authority flow through my hands and into my body, Soothing my soul, strengthening my heart, Reminding me I am your child.

Forever blessed.

Then sit down and be quiet for a moment, breathing, grounding as you can. Prayer: Warrior. Queen. Godmother. Sister. I sit here in this place, waiting for things to get better. For me to get better. As the oak, I send roots deep into the Earth. As a falcon, I fly above the fray. As a river, I flow through the confusion and pain within and around me. Let your cloak cover me. Let your arms hold me up when I need that. Let your love feed me. Let your strength comfort me. I am in need and you are my shelter and my power. I claim that now as my birthright, as your child.
