Winter can feel so oppressive, but I argue there is great value in it

-​Winter can be such a challenging time, especially for those of us further from the equator- where winters mean cold and snow and very short days.

And this year the normal isolation that comes in winter has been exasperated with Covid. There has been a lot going on culturally with the pain and strength of the Black Lives matter movement.

It has been painful, but for me anyway ultimately hopeful. We are seeing things that so many  have been in denial about and I feel the surge of energy has so much potential for positive change.

And this is what can happen for each of us in winter. It is a time of self-reflection, assimilating what has been going on, and making the internal shifts that allow us to move in the directions that we want to. It is a time of re-evaluating our direction, bringing healing to our deep wounds and nourishing our souls with the deep connections that we feel in being part of this vast earth and this complex set of cultures. 

As creatives, we can feel it as a fallow time, or a time of playing in the unknown, or a generative time. Dreams happen at night, and winter is the night of the annual cycle. So connect with your dreams!

For myself, so much has been going on and some of it is ready to share. 

Today I mostly want to let you know about the videos.

I have been having so much fun making little 3-5 minute videos  while I walk in the woods. They are mostly thoughts that come from my coaching for artists and creatives, and my hope and desire is that they are nourishing and helpful.

 It would be super helpful if you would be willing to click one of the links below- the you tube channel or the Facebook page- check out a video and hit follow or like or comment! This will help the google algorithms value them enough to send on to others!

Also if you are not on my newsletter mailing list, now is a good time to join! You can get these short little uplifting and inspiring gems sent right to your in-box. I should mention that there is a reconfiguration about to happen there too- choices you will be offered in how much and what kind of content- so keep your eyes open for this!
