This is a re-post from my New Year newsletter – worth repeating:
Happy New Year, Dearest Friends!
On Dec 21st, 2011 we celebrated the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year.
The word Jul or Yule
means wheel in Norwegian, and our ancestors believed a mystic wheel stopped turning briefly at this time of year, as one cycle ended and a new one began.

I invite you to take a moment to consider what you want to leave behind, in order to make room for new beginnings, new plans and new ways of being. Light a candle to represent releasing old patterns and freeing energy for the coming year.
Sending you Hope for Peace and Light in the New Year,
