Love this and I am feeling the quietness and deep soul rest of this time… I am practicing embracing the seasonal flow. 🌀

Winter whispers a different kind of magic, a silent invitation to turn inward.
The world outside may seem still, but beneath the frozen earth, life is quietly rebuilding.
Like a seed holding tight to its promise, we too can use this season for deep renewal.
Forget the rush of growth; instead, sink into the stillness. Wrap yourself in warmth, nourishing your body and spirit with simple comforts.
Let your mind wander through dreams of springtime, imagining the possibilities that lie dormant within you. This is a time for reflection, a chance to appreciate the quiet beauty of the present moment and prepare for the vibrant energy that will soon return.
Embrace the rest, find your balance, and nurture your soul.
Winter's gift is the foundation for a flourishing future.

It has taken me most of my life to understand how to set healthy boundaries for myself, and listen to my gut brain. Really listen. I had to learn this as an adult. It was not something the women in my family knew about and therefore not able to steward well if at all. So, if I say no, it’s not personal, it’s me practicing self care. Boundaries build trust in oneself and others.

Card of the Day: BOUNDARIES ✨
Where do you need to establish better boundaries?

You are being called to create clearer boundaries in your life. This could be with your friends, family, or work. Saying YES when you really mean NO leads to resentment, which is the biggest energy drain ever. At first it might only be a little bit and not feel like a big deal, but before you know it, your energy field becomes porous and you are left feeling depleted, resentful, or taken advantage of.

Saying NO and having clear boundaries is actually a spiritual act. The most giving, loving, compassionate people are those with the clearest boundaries. For when they say YES, they are able to give unconditionally.

When your boundaries are clear, others know where they stand and you are able to give freely. If you are not clear where your boundaries lie, this causes confusion, resentment, and energetic cords to be planted.

If you are saying YES when you really mean NO, you are likely needing something yourself. Ask yourself, what part of me NEEDS something from them? It could be a need for approval, a fear of being seen a certain way or a fear of loss.

The best way to gauge your boundaries is to check in with your belly. Your belly is the second brain. It has an intelligence known as your ‘gut feelings.’ Tune in to this space when deciding what is OK for you. How does it feel? What is it trying to communicate with you?

power of rest and reset 🌀❄️🙏

“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.”
Katherine May - Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, 2020.

Peace is a gift 💝

Thank you Spirit of a Hippie for this beautiful sharing.

Peace is a Gift You Choose to Give Yourself

Give yourself the gift of peace,
even when the world feels distant,
even when hearts around you turn away,
and voices that once comforted fall silent.

Let your own heart be a sanctuary,
a quiet room where serenity blooms
despite absence,
despite rejection.

Do not wait for recognition,
do not wait for understanding
or love
from those who cannot offer it.

Peace is a gift you give yourself,
tender, unshakable,
a strength that holds you
when all else feels uncertain.

In choosing peace, you honor your worth,
your needs, your capacity
to be gentle with yourself,
regardless of who stands beside you
or who chooses to walk away.

Christmas at Midlife

I am no longer waiting for a special occasion; I burn the best candles on ordinary days.
I am no longer waiting for the house to be clean; I fill it with people who understand that even dust is Sacred.
I am no longer waiting for everyone to understand me; It’s just not their task
I am no longer waiting for the perfect children; my children have their own names that burn as brightly as any star.
I am no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop; It already did, and I survived.
I am no longer waiting for the time to be right; the time is always now.
I am no longer waiting for the mate who will complete me; I am grateful to be so warmly, tenderly held.
I am no longer waiting for a quiet moment; my heart can be stilled whenever it is called.
I am no longer waiting for the world to be at peace; I unclench my grasp and breathe peace in and out.
I am no longer waiting to do something great; being awake to carry my grain of sand is enough.
I am no longer waiting to be recognized; I know that I dance in a holy circle.
I am no longer waiting for Forgiveness. I believe, I Believe. -Mary Anne Perrone
