Lighting The New Year

Winter Solstice brought the change in the season.  While it is Winter, it is also now the time when the light comes again.  The days becoming longer each time and there is  less darkness.  As we look at the new year and dream of what can be, we should also let our own light illuminate…

Dreaming the New Year

Before the New Year is upon us and before we start setting out intentions, it’s time to dream.  This weekend I think I’m going to take some time and start thinking.  What is possible with next year?  What do I want to co-create with my life?  What do I want to manifest in this coming…

The Week of R&R

No I do not mean Rest and Relaxation.  I’m glad for everyone who is getting to have that, but what I’m referring to are the post-Christmas R&R’s:  Returns and Regrets. Returns usually happen first because they just have to get done.  I mean who can live with that Chartreuse lampshade from Aunt Tildie or the…

Finding Your Light

People will do a lot of crazy things in order to not confront what they fear.  They will cart around elephants, plant them in the middle of the room, then steadfastly ignore them.  Heaven help us if multiple people bring elephants because they become exponentially difficult for everyone else to ignore when they begin rough…

Your Light

It’s common to see the Holidays as the big 3:  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.  There are, of course, others in and around that time including Hanukkah and Kwanza and New Years which keeps us all on our toes and reminds us that the holidays are about more than merchandising.  Of course, I look at things a…

You Do Not Have To Be Good

“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on.…
