Monday Reflection: Closing with Sovereignty, Emerging into Something New
As I reflect on this past month, one word carries the full weight of my journey: Sovereignty.
When I chose Sovereignty as my word for April, I knew it would be powerful—but I didn’t realize how much it would ask of me. It wasn’t just about standing taller. It was about reclaiming the spaces where I had unconsciously handed over my power.
There were moments when I succeeded—moments when I honored my energy, my timing, my truth. And there were moments when I didn’t—when I fell into old patterns of overcommitting, people-pleasing, or doubting my own rhythm. But even in the missteps, sovereignty was there.
Every time I veered off course, I was invited back—not with shame, but with clarity. And this is what it feels like to come home.
As April closes, I can feel how sovereignty has reshaped me.
It asked me to hold my peace sacred.
It asked me to trust myself more deeply.
It asked me to remember: no one else gets to define how I move through the world.
And now, as we step into May, a new energy is rising in me: Emergence.
Not rushing.
Not performing.
Just rising.
May feels like a season of letting myself be seen.
Not a polished version.
Not a perfected self.
But the true, unfolding me.
The one who has been doing the work behind the scenes.
The one who no longer needs permission to step forward.
So today, I’m honoring both:
The sovereignty reclaimed, and the emergence now beginning.
Reflection Invitation:
What word would you use to describe your April journey?
What lessons are you carrying forward into May?
How are you being invited to emerge more fully into your truth?
If you haven’t yet chosen a word for May, there’s still time.
Maybe your word is waiting for you, just beneath the surface—ready to rise.
You can access the April Reflections & May Rituals Portal and get started on your intentional journey through May.
I love how you have laid the week out. I'm excited for Thursday and how many gates of love will be active (since it's Henry's birthday). I like knowing what centers will be active for the collective.
