Rebirth Cycle 1 – Ancestral Remembering

Week of April 28, 2025

Theme: I am the living prayer of my ancestors.

This week was deep in the transformation. I micro-journaled every day, and long-journaled once. I allowed myself to ride the full spectrum of emotions: soaring highs, heavy lows. I practiced observing emotions without overanalyzing, learning to ride the wave and appreciate the stillness between.

I had soulful conversations and revelations, and I nourished my spirit through connection, sharing a beautiful evening with Andrea.

The darkness showed me it is a sacred path to walk, not an enemy to fear. It revealed itself as an ancient part of my duality, a fertile space of unraveling and rethreading truth. I learned that I live not in binaries, but in triality — the sacred third space between.

My ancestors walked with me this week. I felt them as I attended a family gathering honoring our lineage. For the first time, I did not armor myself around my family. I carried calm, self-possession, and quiet sovereignty. I honored my grandmother by writing her maiden name, remembering her spirit beyond the structures that confined her.

The invocation we performed together weeks ago has blossomed. I have become the Matriarch my bloodline needs: fierce, compassionate, and free. I carry their dreams in my bones, and in my joy, I liberate them.

“I am the living prayer of those who came before me. I am the answered prayer of the child I once was. I walk forward, free and flaming, for all who could not.”

This is my becoming. This is my sacred fire.
