How are you all today Wise Ones

Likely most of you are having some big feels. Whether you are happy or sad, yesterday was a big day here in the US. 
Personally, I’m feeling the weight of the decision that was made. I feel surprised, sad and honestly scared. 

So today I’m hanging in the grief and surprise and recognizing the importance of connecting with friends and family, nourishing and moving my body and remembering the value of joy. 

I grew up in a house with a Dad who was very conservative and a Mom who was pretty liberal. It led to a lot of “discussions”, (my Dad loved to debate), but it also taught me that you can have a different view point than someone and still love them with your whole self. That differing opinions does not always make enemies. And that being curious about where someone is coming from instead of trying to change their mind can actually give way to common ground or at least create an understanding and compassion. . 
This all sounds very evolved as I type it, yet I can also own that I’m having A LOT of feelings right now and having a discussion about anything remotely conflictual in the political realm feels hard in this moment. I also know that’s ok. There will be time for those discussion later 

For now, I’m listening to the wild and powerful winds blowing outside, I’m watching the way the birds are catching the currents and how the leaves are being stripped from the trees, a swirling dance of color. 

And I am grateful to be a part of this ecosystem, to feel the threads of the natural world that weave themselves through the very fabric of my being. 
The Air that is my breath, the Earth that is my body, the Water that is my blood and my tears, the Fire that is the fierce love burning in my breast. 

However your tender heart is feeling today, take good care of you. 

Simple Practice
November is my Birthday month and several years ago I started a gratitude birthday countdown. Each day I make a note of what I am grateful for . Most years I go all the way to the end of November even though my birthday is the 24th. 
Did you know that there have been studies on gratitude and brain chemistry? 
When we practice gratitude we actually feel better. 
So what about a little gratitude practice? 
You might do this on your own, writing down 1 to 5 things each day you feel grateful for. 
Or you might do what I do and post each day on your social media about what you are feeling gratitude for . 
No matter how you approach this practice I promise it can lift your spirits and give you a little different filter through which to see the world!


Waitlist for the Winter Circle is open. 
Last year I offered a 6 session small group circle that met every other week through the Winter months and used the tools of embodiment, divination, journey work, and community to keep our inner fires burning through the darkness.
