Every time one of my new series begins, each participant sets a personal intention to guide their healing for the duration of the class. I often keep the secret from myself that I will also be called on to set an intention. It comes as a surprise the evening we do this activity, and I’m in the creative, receptive listening process with the group.

The “Staying Centered in Difficult Times” class started in October. We have met twice. Last week we set our intentions. This time, I was very aware that I would do one too. A couple of weeks earlier, I opened and asked my helping spirits to suggest an intention. The words, “I embrace my becoming” immediately popped into mind. I knew that it was inspired by Spirit because those were not the words that I would have used had I rationally chosen.

The more I sat with it, the more I liked this intention. I am in a time of transition. I’m still in the murky darkness, feeling my way through, being guided by Spirit. Much is changing, and I have no idea where it’s leading. I am choosing to surrender, let go of my need to know, and trust my soul and the divine to guide me. My intention will support me through this.

“I am Debra Ann Morrill, and I embrace my becoming.”

This work is real, and it matters.

(This is a piece of artwork I made to honor my healing intention. I have it in several noticeable places in my house to remind me.)
