Winter Solstice Wishes

Today, the sun dips to it's lowest point in the sky,

giving us a delayed dawn and an early sunset.

Happy Winter Solstice. 

From here on out, every day moving forward will be a bit brighter. 

In a few short days, I'll have my feet in the sand 

and my face towards the sun.

Christmas spent by the Caribbean Sea.

I. Can't. Wait.

I'm appreciative of the growth and 

self awareness the past 12 months brought,

but am very much forward facing to the New Year. 

As I consider this past year,

I was encouraged and inspired by most.

Loved and supported by many.
Disappointed by few.

I'm content with that breakdown. 

I don't typically count blessings.

I am more of a 'thank my lucky stars' type of gal. 

So ultimately, I send 2014 off with a kiss and a fond goodbye.

And as we usher in 2015, 

I will look up towards a sky full of big, bright, beautiful stars. 

I wish the very same for each and all of you.

In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

It's been an unusual winter,

one that leaves me scratching my head

and wondering aloud,

It's mid-March already?

In a matter of days, 

I went from mild nights in Manhattan,

to snow in the Sierras.

There are so many tales to tell,

so many words to craft carefully...

But, I can't quite do my thoughts justice just yet.

 image is my own

And the snow and the quiet of the mountains this morning

 offer me a perfect pause.

This first half of the month, 

I found I'd taken on the role of Lioness of March,

and as we round out month's end,

 I'd like to be a little more lamb.

Until then,

happy wintering, friends.
