Quiet Reflections and Deep Dives
Equinox
As the equinox graces our calendars, marking a moment in time when day and night stand in perfect balance, it’s a great time to reflect on the natural cycles of change. The equinox reminds us that transformation is not only natural but essential - a necessary part of growth, much like the shift from winter’s dormancy to spring’s rebirth. The gift of time doesn’t stand still.
Deeply connect to find renewal
In this season generosity it's easy to forget that this season of giving - of time and of love - is also by its very nature a time of receiving. For those whose lives are lived in the service of others it can feel harder to receive than to give, harder to take time to recharge and take care of ourselves and our wellbeing, but it's so important. It needn't be complicated, but it may take some work to ease into a space that feels restorative.
For the first time in 26 years I will not be working at Christmas. It's a gift, but I'm aware I'm also putting myself under a little pressure to 'do' something, to use the time 'wisely'. After a lot of change this year, I know time to recharge is so important, and 'being' is my heartfelt need this Christmas, so that afterwards I might be energised and my most creative self.
