Allow this winter solstice to open a door of opportunity to connect with community, nature and your deeper self.

I challenge you to allow yourself to find the Dark in the Darkness.

Wow! This year will be one to remember with bitter, cold winds & darkness all around us! In times like this, symbolically or otherwise, I often hear uplifting phrases like, “find the light in the darkness” or “in the midst of darkness, light persists.” Lovely passages, yes, but this Solstice I challenge you to allow yourself to find the Dark in the Darkness. Darkness has a place in our lives and deserves a voice, a place to exist in all of its color. The darkness in nature and in our lives has always been a representation of a time for rest, restoration, healing. A time for deep inner reflection that may then act as a bridge to profound connection with others. A movement from ME to WE.

May darkness provide you a place to cool your jets, provide shade from the heat of anger, be a shadow to hide in when weary from the world. May darkness release you from the breath-taking pressure of perfectionism. May you be free in the darkness to liberate & remember your power of choice. In darkness may there be universal acceptance. This is my wish for you and for me.
