“The first gift is Strength. May you remember to call upon it whenever you need it.”

“But the healing place is within you. Healing is a gift you were granted at birth, just as you were granted others. Use your gifts, child. Use the beauty, the courage, the hope and the love that is in you. Call upon your strength. Use compassion and faith. Even during sad times joy is within you. Bring it forth. Wisdom is there to guide you. Use any one of your gifts and you will rouse the power of your healing place. Use all of them and you will sustain it.”

“The twelfth gift is Faith. May you believe”

“The ninth gift is Reverence. May you appreciate the wonder that you are and the miracle of all creation.”

“The fourth gift is Compassion. May you be gentle with yourself and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes.”

“The fifth gift is Hope. Through each passage and season, may you trust the goodness of life.”

“The third gift is Courage. May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.”
