25/365

Creator, Ancestors, Spirits who walk with me—I offer my voice in deep gratitude. Long before I understood, before I even spoke the words aloud, my spirit called out for this. I unknowingly placed my intention into the universe, trusting only in the quiet ache of my soul, and you answered in ways more beautiful than I could have imagined.

On the day that once felt the heaviest, you transformed it into the most sacred gift. My birthday was not just another passing year—it was the fulfillment of a path I had been walking all along.

Every star, every lesson, every moment of loss and longing has guided me here—to them. My bonus family, my circle, the ones who have taken me in not as an outsider, but as if I was always meant to be here. As if my spirit was recognized the moment it arrived. In a time when we needed each other most, you aligned our journeys, healing old wounds through the love we now share.

You aligned us in perfect timing, when we needed each other most. You healed wounds we didn’t know we carried, filled spaces we didn’t know were empty, and reminded us that love—true, unconditional, soul-deep love—is the most powerful medicine.

I give thanks for the laughter, the warmth, the belonging that fills spaces I once thought would remain empty. I honour the hands that have reached for mine, the hearts that beat alongside my own, the stories we now write together.

I stand in the knowing that this was never chance—it was the medicine of the universe, the sacred weaving of past, present, and future. I surrender to the wisdom of this path, and I will honour it with my whole being.

Niawen kó:wa & Chi-miigwech. Thank you for bringing me home.
