Welcome to Love Notes, Rhonda.

And today I would like you to pick an object that represents the past year.

Pick an object that represents the past year.

And if it's an object that you can write on, like a rock or a candle, that you can put paper on and scribble on.

Label that object.

What this last year has represented to you, maybe a core lesson that you've learned, maybe an acceptance that you've granted yourself, maybe a forgiveness.

What has this last year.

Been about for you?

What has it gifted you with?

What have you learned?

What is this year about?

So I want you to pick an object and claim it.

Ah, this object is this year.

This year that's about to end.

It's this object.

And like I said, if you can write on it, put labels on it to help you, great.

If you can't, that's okay, too.

But pick an object, whatever it is, and say, this is this year.

This represents this year.

When you have completed picking an object for this year.

Now I want you to pick an object for next year.

Now, you don't know what major lessons you're gonna learn or what forgiveness you're gonna experience or what acceptance you're going to grace yourself with.

You do not know what's gonna happen next year yet.

Yet you do probably have a wish or a hope or a dream or a word for the next year.

So I want you to pick an object and put on the thing that you.

Your number one thing that you are intending that you want to be accountable for, that you want to court.

I love that word, court.

That you want to court for the next year.

And if you can label it on that object, piece of paper, pen, magic marker, whatever you got.

And if you can't, that's okay, too.

I'm going to know that you know what that object means, maybe write it down in your diary, a journal, et cetera.

And so now you have the object from last year, and now you have an object for this year.

Over the time that we have left of this year, I want you just to keep those, both of those objects present.

So that you can move into a deeper state of grace from this past year, these past 12 months, and put into the next year that next object, the hopes, the dreams, the.

I'll dare say, the miracles, magic and fantasies that you have for the next year.

Infuse that object with those qualities.

And hold those in your space.

Put them somewhere that you can see them together.

If that doesn't feel right and you want to put them apart, that's okay too.

It's really powerful to keep both of those present with you right now during those last few days of this year.

So you can continue to accumulate all your lessons, all the goodness.

All that you gained from this magnificent year.

And all the gaps that you want to fill up next year you can put onto the object for next.

It's really important that we symbolize our life.

Through these symbols, these objects that we are choosing.

We are creating a connection.

We are claiming it.

We're putting it outside of ourselves and able to look at it with more awareness, with more clarity.

And I daresay with more love.

And that object is going to help you get clear about this past year and it will help you gain clarity for next.

Two objects, one for this year and one for next.

Infuse them, infuse them with the goodness from this and the dreams of the next.

Until next time, be fearless.

I love you.
