Winter Incubation is Activity Underneath

Happy Friday to all my precious people!!!
Snow is gently falling outside today, reminding us we are still in the midst of Winter.
Winter is about going deep inside to prepare for the reanimation of life once the Spring season arrives. This cold season appears still and quiet, but if we stop and consider all that is happening below the surface, there is much activity being generated! The seeds deep in the soil are finding their roots, getting ready to burst up and out in vibrant colors as Nature organizes herself in the coming months. Everything relies on something, and the smallest activity impacts the largest levels during the ongoing cycles. continue reading
Jumpstart January: The Pilgrimage to Self
Happy Blessed New Year to all my precious people!!
We are in the middle of January, the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and just past the first New Moon (January 11) of 2024.

Nature is gathering up resources, from the soil, from our dreams, from the inspiration of conversations, or music, or poetry. We are in the midst of opportunities – to shed what no longer serves us, to lean into the callings of our heart and soul. continue reading

in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”

Coming Home to Your True Self
There is no need to run outside
For better seeing,
Nor to peer from a window.
Rather, abide at the Center of your Being …
Search your heart and see …
The way to do is to be.
