The Christmas trees along the side of the road were already showing colour.
John Steinbeck
Your Year of the Open Door. This is the year you stop guarding the life you built and start actually living inside it. You started this version of yourself with real courage, the kind that doesn't announce itself, and now that foundation holds your weight completely. In July, something you have been watching carefully from a distance turns out to be safe enough to step toward. By late autumn, a relationship you have protected fiercely finds room to breathe in a new way, and what opens between you surprises you both. The work you do with your hands or your mind begins to feel less like shelter and more like a gift you are actively giving. Let the door stay open a little longer than feels comfortable. The year is coloring in ahead of you, and it is already beautiful.
