Amor Fati
Everything I want is accessible to me. It is waiting on belief and timing to align, and it will come. The resources. The individuals and communities. The hopes, visions, and efforts. Every good thing will come to me in its due season. I will accept the abundance with gratitude understanding that I am worthy; the Universe, Fate, God are my loving friends; and nothing that is human - including goodness, wholeness, joys & successes - is alien to me. Selah. Amen. Let it be so.
