It’s been a while since I have written to you all. It is today, on Winter Solstice, the darkest and longest night of the year, that I was called to reach out to you. Even though I was born and raised in Florida, I have always loved the cycle of the seasons. Especially Winter (I blame it on the Norwegian in me.) I love it so much I make it a priority to go on an annual “snowcation.” Winter is all about introspection, hibernating, going within and listening. Winter ushers in spring so it also provides the setting for renewal, rebirth and hope. The Solstice symbolizes the turn from the season of darkness into the light. When the sun sets tonight, each day will bring more light…a natural progression towards spring. Spring is the time of blossoming and rebirth. I have been in my own rebirth process since I experienced a profound loss in my life. The kind of loss that shatters your identity, turns your life upside down and forces you to do a deep dive into the meaning of life and being a human being (more on this later.) This loss has changed my life in every way. It brought me to my knees and catapulted me onto an epic healing journey. I was amazed that one of the things that carried me through was my work and the healing sessions I do with others. Other things that really supported me in my grief process and darkness: *Leaning into support (we are not meant to or can we do this alone) *Spending endless hours in nature *Moving my body *Expressing and processing my emotions *Journaling *Rituals / Ceremony I know most of us (if not all of us), have had our worlds turned up side down in some way these past few years. Now, more than ever before, I understand grief, uncertainty, fear, anxiety, depression, anguish, hopelessness, overwhelm and all the things that come with these emotions. Today marks the beginning of emerging from the darkness and lighter days ahead. My wish for you is that you love yourself deeper on your healing journey, seek support and enjoy this Winter Solstice Ritual I created for YOU! I am excited to be back and grateful for each and every one of you. Oceans of love and light, Coming in March!
