Blessings
The darkest day of the year, Winter Solstice, arrives on December 21st for those in the northern hemisphere. Filled with magic, the light’s renewal causes me to rejoice.
How about you?
Solstice feels like the energy of the full moon, but multiplied by many big numbers. This powerful energy is part of why people are a bit nuts this time of year. If you align with the energy and celebrate it, it can renew you and restore you.
What do you feel and what do you notice?
The light in the dark forms a most life affirming notion. Yes?
Get some candles and send some blessings to people on this day. Or you can choose the time of the great world traditions of this season instead. The idea remains the same.
Bless
Bless everyone and everything.
Bless parts of yourself you like and bless parts of yourself you don’t like as much.
Bless people you like and bless people you don’t like.
Bless your leaders and your politicians, the ones you like and the ones you don’t like.
Gifting
This season makes for a great time to donate to good causes.
Three Recommendations –
Open Doorways Reading Room. A fellow reader of this newsletter founded it. Read more page HERE.
Heifer Project – You can help feed deserving folks, help them to be prosperous so they can educate their children, and make them wonderful independent contributing citizens. Read my article – The Perfect Gift.
Trust for Public Land – Conserves land for people – parks gardens, wild spots. Some of my favorite places have been saved by these guys. Maybe some of your favorite places too. They work with the grass roots to make things happen.
For every $1 donated TPL conserves nearly $5 worth of land.
Walk in beauty,

P.S. Consider giving a membership to Body & Soul Mentor to someone you love. Maybe even to yourself.
