Tonight isn’t just another night on the calendar.
It isn’t just the end of a year or the start of a new one.
Tonight is the hinge.
The doorway.
The deep inhale before the life that finally matches who I’ve become.
Because something in me knows — with a clarity that doesn’t wobble —that this is the year everything changes shape. This is the year the old scaffolding falls. This is the year the ingredients I’ve carried for decades finally cook into something holy, whole, and unmistakably mine. Spiritual new year meaning.
It’s strange how a lifetime of loss can suddenly reveal its architecture. How the betrayals, the evictions, the redirections, the parking lots, the tents, the Jeep nights, the quiet prayers whispered into a steering wheel start lining up like coordinates.
How the fire becomes the map.
How the map becomes the mission.
Tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I feel it in my bones: I am no longer in the “survive it” chapter. I’m in the “walk it as the master” chapter.
The masks are gone. The politics are done. The old lessons have nothing left to teach me.
I am standing in the center of my own turning. Thunderbolt behind me, trust in front of me. Experience in my hands, guidance under my feet. Transformation in my breath, ripeness in my timing. Change at my back like wind.
Everything that cracked me open this year was preparation —not punishment.
And now?
Now the path opens.
Now the leap is blessed.
Now the voice inside is the only authority I follow.
I am ready in a way I’ve never been ready before. Not because I forced it. Not because life demanded it.
But because the fruit is finally ripe. Because the wheel finally caught up to who I am. Because God waited until this exact moment to activate the next chapter.
So I name it. I claim it. I walk into it.
This is not just another birthday. This is the eve of THE year —the year I rise, the year I root, the year I become the woman all my ingredients have been building.
And tomorrow? I step over the threshold.
