Dec. 22, 2021 - For many people that struggle a bit with the darkness of winter (like myself), there is enthusiasm after Winter Solstice because everyone says, "The days are getting longer!!" Well, I hate to break it to you, but really, we are in somewhat of a holding pattern at the moment. The Earth moves back and forth from Summer to Winter Solstice, like a pendulum. When it gets to the edges it pretty much stops, and takes a bit to start moving in the other direction. We'll be hanging out here for a couple weeks.

Let's open up and make a connection to the thing that is actually happening right now...the Earth is chilling out, so we should to, and savor the in-between.

Breathe Tenderly as the Lover of All ...
Dec. 14, 2021 - Over this weekend I took a plane trip to Colorado, with a stop over in Chicago. Sadly, the plane was delayed in Vermont, and by the time I got to Chicago, it was too late to catch a connecting flight...so I had to spend four extra hours in the Chicago Airport. I figured I'd set...
