MAY: Make Anew Yourself

-

“You do not just blossom in May — you become.”

What if this month was your chance to start again, not by running away from your past, but by courageously choosing to rewrite your now?

May, the fifth month of the year, offers the perfect symbolism for rebirth, renewal, and reinvention. As flowers bloom and nature awakens in vibrant colors, you too are invited to awaken — not as a version of who you’ve always been, but as someone who dares to make anew yourself.

This is your sacred invitation to shed the layers of what no longer serves and embody the essence of newness — not as a performance, but as a personal revolution.

A Quote to Anchor You
"And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."
— Meister Eckhart

Wisdom from Five Authors on Renewal and Self-Reinvention

1. Cheryl Strayed in Tiny Beautiful Things reminds us:
“You don’t have a right to the cards you believe you should have been dealt. You have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you’re holding.”

2. Brené Brown says in The Gifts of Imperfection:
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.”

3. Maya Angelou wrote:
“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

4. Elizabeth Gilbert in Big Magic:
“You’re not required to save the world with your creativity. Your only job is to do the work that makes you come alive.”

5. Iyanla Vanzant says:
“You have to meet people where they are — and sometimes you have to leave them there.”
(And that includes your former self)

How to Make Anew in the Month of May

1. Reflect with honesty
Begin by gently examining what has held you back — is it fear, fatigue, people-pleasing, self-doubt? Give it a name. Then, declare you’re done with it.

2. Set a soulful intention
Choose one area of your life — mindset, health, relationships, career — and set a clear, soul-aligned intention. Make it sacred.

3. Clean your space, clear your mind
Clutter can cloud your clarity. Clear one corner of your home, and commit to daily moments of silence or breathwork.

4. Dress the part
Show up in a way that visually mirrors your new beginning — even if it’s just putting on lipstick, wearing your favorite scent, or styling your hair differently.

5. Be accountable
Share your journey with a trusted friend or write daily to your future self. Let someone witness your becoming.

How to Embody Newness

Walk in presence. Stop living from autopilot; breathe deeper, speak slower, listen intently.

Choose differently. Don’t just think new — do new. Take that walk, join that class, say “yes” to something that scares you.

Honor your softness. Newness isn’t about toughness; it’s about tenderness. Be gentle as you grow.

What Making Anew Entails

Making anew isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about meeting yourself. It’s allowing space for grace, celebrating small shifts, and standing boldly in your decision to become.

It’s about spiritual alignment, emotional healing, and everyday courage.

How to Preserve the New You

Create rituals: Morning tea, gratitude journaling, or evening meditations to anchor you.

Guard your energy: Say no with love. Limit draining conversations.

Celebrate often: Acknowledge your wins — even the invisible ones.

Forgive quickly: Yourself first, others second. Newness can’t thrive in resentment.

5 Affirmations for the Month of May

1. I release the old and make room for what aligns.

2. My becoming is beautiful, messy, and mine.

3. I am open to transformation with grace.

4. Each breath is a new beginning.

5. I bloom because I choose to.

One Mantra to Carry You Through
“I am not who I was. I am who I am becoming.”

Call to Action

This May, don’t just watch the world bloom — bloom with it. Make a conscious choice to make anew yourself. Start today. Choose one small, sacred act that aligns with the woman (or man) you’re becoming. Then do it again tomorrow. Share your journey using the hashtag #MakeAnewYourself, and invite someone else to rise with you.

The Power of Feminine Energy: My Journey to Balance and Renewal

-
  "A flower does not chase the bees; it simply blooms, and they come to it." Happy New Year, beautiful souls! For the longest time, I felt exhausted, drained, and disconnected from myself. I had no zest for life, no motivation, and no idea why I felt this way. By December 2024, I decided to pause everything—work, responsibilities, even my passion for writing—and take a step back. Something was missing, but I couldn't place it. As I sat in deep reflection, meditating and praying, I stumbled upon an article about feminine and masculine energy. That moment changed everything—it was as if a light bulb flickered in my soul. Understanding Feminine Energy Feminine energy is the essence of flow, intuition, creativity, and nurturing. It is the energy of receiving, feeling, and being present. Unlike masculine energy, which is about structure, logic, and action, feminine energy thrives in surrender, trust, and emotional depth. Every human possesses both energies, but in today's ...

The Beautiful Truth About the Big M: My Journey Into Menopause and Self-Love

-

“ Menopause is not the end; it’s an awakening.” That became my truth after months of confusion, discomfort, and denial. My menopause journey didn’t start with grace—it began with unexpected waves of heat crashing through my body at odd hours, unbearable fatigue, and a fog that refused to lift from my mind. I was angry, anxious, and ashamed. Until I stopped fighting and started listening. Understanding the Shift It took a moment of stillness—and a hot flush in the middle of a work meeting—for me to ask: What is really going on? That was the turning point. I researched, I talked to other women, I read, and then I sat with myself. I discovered that menopause wasn’t punishment—it was transition. My body wasn’t betraying me; it was asking for a new kind of love. I created a menopause affirmation that I began to recite daily: “ My body is wise. My body is strong. I embrace the changes and honor the woman I’m becoming.” That affirmation changed everything. My symptom...
