Winter Solstice

We made it home! I am at my mom & dad's - Jim is at his mom's for the moment. But we are here. It was a long...long trip - I am looking forward to seeing as many family and friends as I can while we are here.

Winter solstice...one of my yoga teachers celebrates the solstice in a special way. In winter, when the days start to get longer she thinks of something she would like to see increase in her life. At summer solstice, when days begin to shorten, she thinks of something she would like to see 'shrink' in her life. What a cool idea! New years resolutions two times a year...but with more of a focus on one thing ( and only for 6 months at a time!) This past summer, at the time of solstice, I decided Iwould like fear to become less of an influence in my life. I have thought about it often throughout the past 6 months as I have worked on letting go. And hey! Driving across the ice bridge to come home was a piece of cake.

Now it is winter solstice...and I have a few things I am thinking of to be my 'growing' focus...I will let you know what I decide on and how it goes......

In the meantime - I hope you are all enjoying this pre holiday time....Love to all.
