Such an incredible year, tonight we say our prayers, bring the light to the longest night, we plant our seeds of intention, look to our inspiration, give thanks and love to all that is in our lives, all that shall pass and laugh with joy in our hearts! I am so grateful.
A tradition I have when I'm in Hawaii is to visit this fantastically vibrant women named Kim at her booth at the market and to have hear read my tarot cards. Well this year I pulled a card from a different deck and it was this. This is the visionary art of Francene Hart. New Beginnings!
This is a card of new beginnings and renewed life force.
The mother goddess passes on the breath of life, the vital life-sustaining force of living prana as the child is birthed into this plane of existence.
Hearts formed of golden spirals set in motion the energy of deep love and new beginnings.
I thought the card was very fitting for the time of year, all the new paths we're setting out on in the coming months! A week and a half into our vacation and I think we're starting to feel renewed, I love it.
I think I'm ready in earnest to sit and spend more time reflecting and writing. And sharing what I love, that kinda sounds like an early new years resolution..... One thing that's been sitting heavy in my heart these days is the love I have for my friends. I am so blessed with the people around me, and maybe it's the time of year reminding me of the past but I have been thinking about how we go through phases of intensely hanging out together and then periods of distance. Nothing changes though in between these times and that's the beauty. Maybe it's the fact that my three sisters aren't near anymore to visit with, and it's challenging me to connect with those that are here in my town. Or the knowing that in the dark times it is good to gather around the fire take heart and strength in one another and just be together, what ever the cause I am reminded of how much love our community holds and I am forever grateful to those who have held me, helped me, steadied me on my walk. As long as I am here in Abbotsford I hope to reach out and invite my friends over. I think being newly married this year has created a fairly insulating last few months. Time to break out and have more parties and gatherings! Yippie! Bring on the bonfires and baking with babies parties and craft nights and dinners together!
