There is only one journey. Going inside yourself. – Rainier Maria Rilke

Perhaps we are all scrooges when it comes to self-nurturing because if we were kind to ourselves, feeling any amount of relief, satisfaction, contentment – heaven forbid to feel Okay. . .would no-way be aligned with our familiar ruts and grooves and looping stories to Self about Self; as they are comforting in their own non-self-helping way. Yes way.

That was Past. Here is NOW.

“I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and, if your truly like the company you keep in the empty moment” --- THE INVITATION by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

With January endings and the old year now fading away, how is this new year jumping in with all its new promise? Did you do a sorting of the last year and make new resolutions for a better and more exciting new year? Perhaps not. When exactly will be The TIME to Hear & Trust your inner whisperings? To listen. To take action. February 1st is a time to reflect, around the fire, on your hopes for the coming year. LET IT BEGIN. Get out of our own way.

To unearth, dig and mine that deeper something we may have once yearned to find: our calm, our clarity, and the ability to ebb and flow within the rhythm of our life. Sarah Ban Breathnach

What would relief feel like? What’s 1 behavior that comes to mind that’s NOT WORKING for you? What if you surrendered fear for self-care?

November, the BEAVER FULL MOON A time for preparing our traps, our inner sanctum of “home”, for winter. My hope is that there will be at least one thing you will take with you today, to snuggle in with during this winter season. Another way in which to be content, satisfied… with snowy afternoons, and the gloomier, lengthy darkness of evenings.

Pause. Rest. Be still. Take these opportunities to FILL UP YOUR STORES…
