Happy Winter Solstice!
Welcome to the beginning of winter. As we roll into a new year, and a new decade, I want to encourage you to tap into the rhythms of nature and draw upon that hibernation instinct that makes it easier to go within.
As you celebrate the holidays, find a little quiet time to reflect back on the year and anchor all that you’ve accomplished and learned. Think about what more is possible. Decide what matters most to you. And commit to take action this year to create a life filled with meaning, happiness and success, love and Joy!
Are you working too hard?
We all know there’s no play without work. But are you working harder than you should during this time of year? Take time to breath, center your thoughts, go within and reconnect with true yourself. Others will thank you for it.
The joy of journaling
I love keeping a journal and my favorite time to write is when I am relaxed – first thing in the morning curled up in bed or on vacation. If you haven’t kept a journal since high school, give it a try! The holidays are a great time for reflection, and you may be surprised at some of the realizations and creative ideas that appear on the page.
During this busy time, remember to take care of yourself – mind, body and spirit, so you can fully experience the holidays in harmony with loved ones.

Now imagine letting go of what happened in the past and just focusing on what is possible? Focus on what you intend to create.
Ask yourself, if my world were perfect, what would I do?
