"Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater 
power then defending or hanging on."
– Eckhart Tolle
Letting Go of the Year
The end of the year is a sacred time to pause, reflect, and release. It’s a chance to honor the experiences that shaped us while consciously letting go of anything that no longer serves our highest good. Releasing creates space for fresh opportunities, new energy, and limitless possibilities. This practice of surrender is an act of love for yourself—an acknowledgment that you are ready to move forward with clarity and lightness.
 
Since 2010, I’ve (Sue) cherished the tradition of offering an annual New Year’s Eve Meditation, a gathering of intention and connection. Each year, I would prepare meaningful gifts for attendees, including crystals and keepsakes to anchor their intentions for the coming year. One of my favorite creations was a gratitude jar—a mason jar adorned with images and words symbolizing blessings. When Leslie and I founded Blossoming into Light Ministry, we carried on the tradition of offering these meditations for many years. 
 
One unforgettable year, as Leslie and I stood in the room, gazing at the circle of chairs carefully arranged for the evening, we felt a wave of anticipation and deep knowing that something extraordinary was about to unfold. Each chair held an oracle card, placed with intention, yet guided by Spirit. There was never a coincidence—each person received the card meant uniquely for them, perfectly aligned with the messages they needed to hear. It was a powerful reminder of how Spirit orchestrates divine timing, bringing wisdom and clarity exactly when it’s needed most. That evening was no exception. The heartfelt messages, the profound release, and the collective setting of intentions for the new year created an energy that was nothing short of transformative.
Each New Year’s Eve meditation holds a special place in our hearts.
 
These gatherings have been a sacred tradition, and they have meant the world to us. To all who have joined us over the years, thank you. Your presence, energy, and willingness to journey alongside us have been a gift beyond measure. With hearts full of gratitude, we honor the beauty of these moments shared.
 
This year, we’re excited to pre-record our annual New Year’s Eve Meditation, making it accessible for you to experience in the comfort of your own sacred space. This special offering will be available exclusively to our Circle of Light Membership Community, providing members with an opportunity to reflect, release, and set powerful intentions for the year ahead at a time that aligns with their personal rhythm.
 
The meditation will be infused with heartfelt energy, guided visualization, and tools to help you step into 2025 with clarity, confidence, and purpose. As we close one chapter and embrace a new one, we invite you to join us in this sacred moment of transformation and connection. Let’s celebrate the new year together, raising our vibrations and aligning with the abundant possibilities that await.
 
Let us end with, gratitude and letting go are intertwined. By releasing what weighs us down, we create room to embrace all that we are thankful for. A gratitude jar can be a powerful way to collect and reflect on these blessings. As you prepare for the year ahead, take time to let go of what you no longer need and make space to cherish what truly matters.
Practice: Letting Go Ritual
Create a sacred space where you can reflect and release the energy of the year. Here’s a step-by-step ritual to guide you:
 
  1. Set the Atmosphere: Light a candle and sit in a quiet, comfortable place. Play soothing music if it helps you relax.
  2. Ground Yourself: Take a few deep breaths, inhaling peace and exhaling tension. Feel yourself anchored in the present moment.
  3. Reflect: In a journal, respond to these prompts:
    • What were the most significant lessons I learned this year?
    • What challenges or habits do I feel ready to release?
    • What blessings am I taking with me into the new year?
  4. Release: Write down what you’re ready to let go of on a piece of paper. Visualize yourself freeing these burdens. Then safely burn the paper (or tear it into small pieces) as a symbolic act of release.
  5. Express Gratitude: Speak or write down three things you are deeply grateful for, anchoring your focus on what truly matters.
  6. Close the Ritual: Blow out the candle and take a moment to breathe deeply, feeling lighter and more open to the year ahead.
Gratitude Jar Practice
A gratitude jar is a simple yet profound way to cultivate appreciation throughout the year.
 
  1. Choose Your Jar: Select a jar that resonates with you. Decorate it with inspiring words, images, or colors.
  2. Add Gratitude Notes: Throughout the year, write down moments of gratitude on slips of paper. These can include small joys, meaningful experiences, or kind gestures.
  3. Review and Reflect: At the end of the year, take time to read through your notes. Let the memories fill your heart with joy and gratitude as you reflect on the blessings of the year.
  4. Involve Others: This practice can also be shared with family or friends, encouraging everyone to add their notes of gratitude.
