I feel now, more than ever in our existence as human beings, we need to

re-member who we truly are, what we are made of, and why we are here. It is imperative for our collective well-being and for the continued existence of our species. We don’t want to share the same fate as the Atlanteans or the Lemurians. Their epic collapses, independently of each other, were due to their inability to use their power in right way. You would think we would try harder to avoid a similar demise. Both of these civilizations sunk. Literally-and figuratively. And looking at the conditions of things right now on Mother Earth, we could easily do that again.

This newsletter lands on top of a full moon Lunar Eclipse-Kapow! We are in eclipse season. The next one will happen on the new moon in two weeks. Eclipse means to clip or cut-so it seems the Universe is teeing us up to cut out the unnecessary aspects of our existence. What thoughts, words, actions, people, places or things are no longer serving us? Over the next two weeks gather up and purge the unneeded, unwanted, and unserving energies in your life. Offer it all up to the portal that naturally opens when these large celestial bodies align with each other.

Michael and I have been enjoying some winter walks along the Platte River these past couple months. We found a new little trail that gets right along the water’s edge and it is good distance off the beaten path, so we rarely encounter other people.  February is the heart of winter and it tends to make me want to isolate a little more than I normally do; I am a fairly social creature, but something about bone-chillin’ cold snaps and the sunless, dreary days makes me want to retreat away from the noise of it all.  

I hope you all have landed back on your feet from all the holiday hullabaloo. Hopefully you were able to find some peace and quiet during the break and do some nesting and self-reflection as well.

For the record, I feel the real New Year begins when new baby sprouts push up from the earth, and the trees start to bud out with some green, and the ice breaks and the thaw begins. That feels like new beginnings much more so than the cold, stark darkness of winter.

I always get confused when winter solstice arrives because all I want to do is put my pajamas on, pour a cup of tea-and cozy up in our little nest of a home. I so enjoy the solace and quiet of these dark days.  But the external world is gearing up for bright lights and big city energy. We are suppose to go to this show and that party and then of course the big holiday family affairs. It requires so much energy to fulfill all the social obligations.
