She enacts and teaches the truth —
embracing the blessing of limitation
she accepts Life’s new gift of freedom,
she discovers her power to choose,
to say a Positive No to the things
she doesn’t want to do —

She focuses on what matters most
in her life, letting go
of the excesses that drain her energies,
she practices tender loving detachment
as she discerns or confirms

Where Home Is
Where She Belongs
What Her Heart’s Desire Is
And What She Cherishes Most

and embraces them
and herself
to the Full.
