I sat in the silence of my room for a long time tonight, just feeling the weight of my own breath and the steady beat of my own strong and resilient heart. Dhanteras is a reminder that the most basic form of prosperity is simply being alive and having the opportunity to experience another day on this beautiful, complicated earth. I am breathing in gratitude and breathing out any lingering fear or doubt, making room for the peace that I know I deserve and have earned. May you find your own center today and may your life be a testament to the power of a quiet and steady spirit. ๐ง
