Blessings of Light, Love, Joy, and Peace as we transition into a new season and begin transitioning from the end of one calendar year into the next.
My wish for you, on this, the longest night of the year, as you pause to reflect, remember the words of Mary Oliver:
“Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
Light some candles, offer some prayers, spread some love, and tend to the flame of hope that burns in your heart. We can move through this world in default mode or we can be conscious Light-bearers, joy deliverers, and peace ambassadors. We always have choice. What do you want to bring to today? How do you want to shine?
May you find magic and grace and blessings everywhere you look!
LOVE that quote! Hope you have a most magical Christmas!
Mary Oliver’s perspective is such a powerful invitation isn’t it Janet? I love it too, and keep returning to it. Wishing you very merry holidays.
Happy Yule, Deborah!
Thanks Candace! Wishing you all manner of wonderfulness and magic in your celebrations as well.
Sending you expansive Blessings and Grace to delight and illuminate your dance into the new season.
Thanks Corky – and right back at you as well!
What a beautiful quote from Mary Oliver! I certainly do try to pay attention as I am often astonished by many things in life (mostly good, sometimes questionable!) and I often share my findings with others when I can, especially when my findings include ‘coincidence’ or serendipity of circumstance =)
Sending you wishes for a joyful holiday season and a new year of dreams coming true for you Deborah – I am thankful to have connected with you! <3
I always think of Mary Oliver as such a wonderful example of someone living in the world intentionally – committed to seeing the deep magic and allowing it to infuse her. I’m so glad she shares her perspectives, her observations, her words with us.
I, too, am glad of our connection Monica. And I wish you a lovely holiday season and a most fabulous new year!
