In addition, it’s almost the New Year. 2023 is ending, and 2024 is about to begin. Personally, and communally, this is a transitional time.
Embracing Darkness: Reflections on the Winter Solstice
We've arrived at the winter solstice, the shortest, and darkest, day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Nestled within the darkness lies a potent magic, do you feel it? Now is a time for reflection, renewal, and the promise of returning light.
For millennia, cultures around the world have acknowledged the significance of the winter solstice.
Ancient Egyptians built the Great Sphinx to align with the rising sun on this day. The Romans celebrated Saturnalia, a festival of merrymaking and role-reversal. In Norse mythology, Yule marks the rebirth of the sun god Baldr.

While I love the clarity of a clear yes or no, I’m beginning to see value in circumstances that awaken uncertainty. When I take a broad view, I see that uncertainty is a sign of inner conflict, and inner conflict, with time and tending, can transition to inner dialogue.

Having plans and healthy routines gives life structure and helps us achieve our desires, but they can also feel restrictive, especially when embedded in societal norms or beliefs that aren’t supportive. When the mind rushes forward with plots and plans we inevitably go along for the ride, and in doing so, risk losing our way.
In my life, there have been times when plotting and planning led me astray. I got so focused the outcome, I forgot to stop and way to ask, “Why?” When I finally gifted myself a moment of pause, I realized I was so mission oriented, I’d lost sight of my motivation, intention, and desire. Has this ever happened to you?
Clairsenses and Psychic Communication
I’m often asked what it means to be psychic and intuitive. First off, being psychic, intuitive, or tuned into your clairsenses is all one thing. I use these terms interchangeably. Second, I believe we all have psychic and intuitive abilities. Most people have experienced them on some level. Ever just known something to be true, only to have your instinct confirmed? Most likely it was your intuition that nudged you.
Some people intentionally develop and engage their psychic and intuitive abilities, while others don’t. Those who nurture these parts of themselves often find their abilities grow in wonderful and supportive ways. Some people, like me, choose to use their abilities to help others, while others don’t. Either path is valid.
