Tara-transformers

In honour of the Winter Solstice and Lunar eclipse overlap that hasn't occurred for 456 years, I thought I would blog...which also hasn't happened for 456 years...:)

The Winter Solstice is a time of rebirth and renewal. There is a transformation from darkness into light because astrologically, it's a time where the light comes back. The idea of darkness into light suggests that when things seem really bleak, it is often our biggest opportunity for personal transformation.

The past year has provided me with a multitude of transformer-type experiences. Here is what I have learned...

When something goes wrong, take a step back, agree to just let whatever happens happen and try to find something positive about the turn of events (((((I don't control what happens, but I decide how I react and what kind of person I am)))))

To be open to all experience without labelling it good or bad (((((Taking time to meditate helps me to practice being in the moment)))))

Music. It is a natural high. (((((It expresses beliefs, emotions, and attitudes that words can't convey)))))

Face to face time with loved ones is necessary. (((((LOVE*BELONGING*CONNECTION)))))

Do good. (((((Always strive to be my best possible self)))))

Nature. (((((Being in natural surroundings gives me a sense of wonder. It makes me feel relaxed, vital, and energetic)))))

It isn't always about me. (((((I need to stop taking things so personal)))))

Peace, Love and Happy Soul-stice.
