Lessons learned
2020 has been an incredible teacher, if you were in the space to hear and receive the lessons. For me, some of the greatest lessons and take-aways have been:
- Stepping into my spiritual gifts
- Become a student grounded in the art of boundary setting
- Connecting with my ancestors
- Opening myself to relationships with incredible teachers
- Allowing spirit and faith to guide my steps
- The power of exploring and fostering my inner sanctum
- Shifting my perspective on loss
This is not an exhaustive list. It currently feels critically important to acknowledge the seeds that this year has planted. The seeds that I will continue to foster with intention and allow to bloom in their own time.
May we learn from winter
Winter is a season of rest and hibernation. A season of internal preparations. As the leaves fall from the trees, leaving barren limbs – the tree is focusing on replenishing it’s energy. Simultaneously, as it dropped its leaves, it has spread it’s seeds- Seeds of new life and ideas.
May we learn from this awesome and powerful season – which, in the case of 2020, has metaphorically been carrying on through the year.
Call to action
To prepare for the challenge and call to action below, I invite you to get grounded. Some of the ways I ground are through yoga asana flows, meditation with my plants and music. A current favorite song is Grounded by Ari Lennox
Take a few moments and some deep breaths as you explore these questions:
- What do I desire?
- What do I want to create for myself?
- How can I foster my imagination?
- What does it mean to live with intention?
- What “seeds” can I plant now – knowing that they will grow later?
Invite your answers to guide you and then allow yourself to rest knowing that the ideas -as seeds- have been planted.
I’m glad my words were able to reach you. Hello solstice.
