The Solstice is this Sunday, the 21st December.  It is the time of the new year in the pagan world, the return of the sun to warm the land and awaken nature to be ready to burst forth in the spring.

This year has flown by so quickly.  It has been an exciting and fulfilling time.  I have met many new fascinating people and learnt a lot about myself and my beliefs.  It has been an acceleration of what I have been trying to do for many years, finding the person that I really am and trying to live that life authentically.  It is a journey that still has a way to go, but I can sense that in some areas it is nearly complete.

Therapy has helped.  I have not sat down with a counsellor or psychologist, but I have worked with  shamans and my own meditations which have helped to identify and to clear the blocks that have been instilled since childhood and beyond.  We create so many of our own problems without realising what we do and I wonder what baggage my own children have that we have inadvertantly given them!

I hope next year will be as interesting and fulfilling as this one, with more of the fun side of life rather than the serious.  I shall make a resolution to indulge my ‘wild woman’ with many walks in the woods and by the sea; to celebrate the seasons and to rejoice in the beauty of life with the whole of my being.  I may even ask if a teacher will take me on for a while so that I can learn more disclipine in my daily meditations.  (I have found one who has many of the interests that I have.  But that is in the future - and he may not want to take me on!)  The journey continues.

It just remains for me to wish you all many blessings for the Season and the New Year ahead; may it be good for everyone.
