CHRISTMAS AND THE END OF ANOTHER YEAR

Sending the warmest of wishes. I hope you find ways to celebrate the Christmas season that feel joyful, and authentic, and meaningful.

IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

I can't believe that it's going to be Christmas in a couple of weeks - where has the time gone? There's a saying that says "the days go slow but the years go fast" and I can certainly relate to that. My life goes quietly and calmly along each day, the occasional challenge, but on the whole it's just a slow and gentle meander. I find slow living to be such a joy - no hustle and bustle, just a pace that I set and adjust as I need to. I am finally fully in charge of how I spend my days, and I am so in love with that.

So..... two weeks until Christmas and three until the end of another year....

MY YEAR OF CULTIVATING INNER EQUANIMITY

Focusing on equanimity and inner peace has been a great tool in dealing with life when it hasn't gone quite as planned.

LOOKING BACK AT A YEAR OF EQUANIMITY

I chose Equanimity as my Word of the Year for 2024 to remind myself to be less impacted by the world around me and more centered and grounded within myself. It turned out to be a good choice because I had a few glitches in my Matrix during the year that made me question my loyalty and commitment to who and what I thought was important in my life.

Nothing too big or upsetting, but little upheavals that were determined to undermine my sense of calmness and surety. I find it really interesting how choosing a Word for the Year plays out over time and how it's often been really helpful in guiding my thoughts and responses.
