goodbye 2020

I love how the sun and camera lens create red ovals within this image. One is inviting us to walk the path into it... or will Glinda The Good Witch step from the bubble? We could all use some glittering pink dress Glinda energy.

Usually at Winter Solstice I take great pleasure in making a walking ritual, where I think about all I'd like to shake off and leave behind and all I intent to nourish and invite in for the coming year. This Solstice if felt right not to ask for anything, to go with the flow into 2021 and embrace whatever comes along.

Last year I wrote down all that I wished to leave behind on small strips of paper, burning one by one and letting them go. I also wrote down all I wished to invite in and walked to a beloved sycamore tree, reading each word out loud before tightly folding each strip of paper and hiding them within a nook at the base of the sycamore. My intentions were for a stable home, a regular income and a rescue dog (who's name will be Mote). The global pandemic put a hold on these things, but they will come... I'm trying to count my many blessings at the close of a year that has been such a spiritual and mental test.

I'm hopeful for 2021 and send my best wishes to all 💖 

Lets keep looking out for each other 💖 

Glinda, are you there?
