Praying now every morning to the divine light that we may live in peace on this beautiful planet. I pray for all of us to wake ourselves to the shift and be love where we are. Blessed be.

Just before the sun broke through the horizon. Woke up feeling hopeful, seeing Iranian women lead the charge to end such a hateful regime of angry misogynist men.

My last couple days with my grandson, we walked at twilight with the full moon. He is 8 and fascinated by the ice below.

The snow started as sleet. Then very dry and fluffy sticking to everything. A beautiful bit of Christmas cheer. Sending all here love for a community that is more than fear, it is connection and love for one another. Let’s envision the peaceful generative world we know we are capable of creating.

Walked this morning. A little chilly. Beautiful moon. Up before the sunrise to watch the day begin.

A solstice fire from a couple years ago. Remember some of our ancestors saw this as the turning of a new year, the Yule. My ritual on Dec 21 is to let go of everything i don’t want to bring into the new year. And light a candle for things i want to bring in. Get ready!!

Good morning !! One of the proudest moments for me as a mom! My oldest graduated from nursing school. Starting life in foster care, suffering from serious genetic inherited mental illness, a teen mom, she did it!!

As we pulled into Gardner MA a snow squall was coming down. Had a lovely weekend with my daughter and grandson and a wonderful visit with siblings and their families in NJ.

This was a reading I pulled today from Margaret Wheatleys book Perseverance. It feels hopeful and knowing we have each other to figure things out.
