A Year-End Prayer (or Something Like That)

Ending 2025 with hope and care

I have two letters that I’ve written and edited and written again, all in hopes of publishing for this last note of 2025. But I’m not ready for them to be in the world quite yet. So.

I’ll leave you with this.

I hope your year ends well.

I hope you did the things you said you were going to do. And give yourself grace with the things you didn’t.

I hope you leave behind all the should, could, and would-haves.

I hope you release yourself from perfection. Try a little less. And find solace in who you really are.

I hope you let your heart guide you more.

And you’re okay with the endings. And are ready for the beginnings.

I hope you let go to receive more. And slow down for what is to come.

Let your inner voice shout now rather than whisper.

May this next year be what it will be.

May we all start anew.

Grounded in who we are.

Big hugs as we close another book and open another. Love to you in the new year, always.

XOXO,

Marko
