Closing Blessing


May you cross into the new year quietly, with peace as your companion and gratitude as your guide. And may you awaken tomorrow knowing you are already held in the heart of God.

Until next time, may God bless and keep you, may God’s face shine upon you, and may God grant you peace as you continue your SoulWork.
