Joyous Holidays!

All my fiction titles are $.99 until December 31, 2014!

You can find them all at the Books tab on my Website, though some of the sellers are lagging a bit. They are definitely all available for $.99 at my Smashwords profile. Happy reading!

Welcome Winter!

Yule. Winter Solstice. First Day of Winter. Shortest Day of the Year. Longest Night.

You can almost feel Nature taking that deep breath in ... pausing.

This is typically what I do during this time on the Wheel. Take that deep breath in, way in ... all the way to my pelvis ... release slowly, then hit pause. Repeat several times. Reflect on all that has happened during the past year. There's been great joy ... as well as heartrending grief. Extreme bliss ... and terrible loss. Yin and yang. Ebb and flow. I close my eyes and let the memories wash over my mind ... savoring wonderful moments ... and releasing the rest.

Winter may indeed be a time of quiet stillness, but it's also time for planning. The earth is barren and may even appear lifeless, but that's only on the surface. Nature is never completely idle. We could benefit from Her example. By all means, rest and regroup ... but also be planning for spring.

The darkness won't last. Already the days lengthen ... stretching toward the promise of spring.

Happy Thanksgiving!

4. Our growing business
5. Healthy food in my pantry and refrigerator
6. Fingerless gloves
7. A creative mind

10. To have been born in the United States
11. Daily walks that keep me sane
12. Words
