Winter Solstice Reflection

Today marks the Winter Solstice which is the longest night of the year and the quiet turning point back toward the light.

It’s the season of honoring what has been held in the dark because growth doesn’t always look loud or visible. Sometimes it looks like rest. Sometimes it looks like choosing yourself. Sometimes it looks like surviving what no one else saw.

Scientifically, the solstice signals a shift. Each day from here carries a little more light.

Spiritually, it reminds us that darkness is not failure; it is preparation.

in stillness,
in self-trust,
in the gentle decision to believe that your light is returning.

Take a breath and honor the season you’re in. The light is already on its way.

As we continue to work on ourselves I'd like to remind us of the importance of choosing actions that support our journey.

Compassion: doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise.

I’m learning to offer myself the same compassion I freely give others. In turn sciencebsays self-compassion lowers cortisol and increases resilience. I will give myself grace and I will grow stronger for it.

Day 29 of a Thankful November: Grateful for warm rituals to slow me down and calm my heart.

While traveling my family and I enjoy supporting local small businesses. Especially coffee shops. Nothing like a warm cup of coffee to activate my sensory comfort.

Day 24 of a Thankful November: Grateful for the tools that help me stay regulated.

Planners, journals, checklist, and additional grounding techniques that support me as I move through my day with more ease, intention, and more self-trust. They give my mind structure.

Day 23 of a Thankful November:
I’m grateful for a gentle rain and quiet Sunday evenings.

There’s something about rain that feels like exhale energy…like the world is giving me permission to pause, unclench, and simply be.

Tonight, notice one comforting sensation and honor that small moment of peace. Such a needed moment as we roll into Thanksgiving week.

Day 22 of a Thankful November: I’m grateful for the way clarity comes when I slow down long enough to listen to God and the quiet inner space where truth lives. When I put pen to paper, things that felt messy suddenly become clearer.

"Right now, I need…”
Don’t overthink it. Let it come through.

We are here to help you create your own healing journals at Joyful Emergence. Clarity grows when you give it a place to land...come pick out a journal and get to growing. 💕

Day 19 of a Thankful November: I’m grateful for the moments I choose presence over perfection.

When I let the dishes wait. When I slow my pace. As a working mom we are often trained to respond, produce, and keep moving but presence is where peace actually lives.

Choose one thing today to do at half-speed.
Then feel how your nervous system settles when you stop rushing.
