Do you remember this blog post?
I started this little practice almost without expectations. One message a day — not read, just burned and sent out to the universe. No analysing, no overthinking. Just trust, intention, and letting go.
Today is January 2nd, and I opened the very last one.
This time, I am supposed to read it and take it with me for the whole year.
It says: “Miers ir manī.”
And honestly, what a perfect ending.
What surprised me the most is how good this turned out to be. There was something deeply calming about releasing the messages without needing to know their words. And now, this one remains — the only one left.
It feels like the message I need to work on, or maybe simply remember. Something I can turn to in harder moments. A quiet anchor. A reminder that peace isn’t something outside of me, something I have to earn or chase — it’s already here.
I’m really glad I did this. Simple, symbolic, and far more powerful than I expected. And I think I’ll carry this practice with me for a long time.

I wish I could do the same! Kids require a bit more action 🙂 But we didn’t have anyone over, so it was cosy and fun!

I did learn a few words of Latvian and agreed with your sentiments – and may peace be with you and within you indeed! Hope going back to work is agreeable but that you still find a few moments during your busy days to send ‘hello’ into the airwaves . . . bestest . . .
