Happy New Year!

I hope it is off to a wonderful start and that you enjoyed some great time with family, friends, and loved ones over the holidays. 

I love the holiday season . . . from the winter solstice, to my birthday on the 24th, and through the new year . . . for me it feels like a magical time that I always long to savor. 

Every holiday season seems to have it's own charm. This year Chris and I kept things pretty low key. We spent a lot of time at home, clearing space, watching shows on Netflix, chatting, and simply enjoying time together. And the recent cold spell made staying home even more inviting. 

While I have always loved this time of the year, I have not always been a big fan of the winter season. 

If you live in a northern climate, you know what I'm talking about when I say that winter can be a pretty uncomfortable; from the cold to the snow to the fewer hours of sunlight, the slower pace that my body craves, and the surfacing of deeper emotions. 

For so long, my way of dealing with my winter angst was to try to stay active or avoid the cold by traveling to a warmer climate for an extended getaway.

Yes, those great ways to keep our spirits up in the midst of winter, but what I didn't realize was that I was fighting my own natural natural rhythm and creative cycles. I wasn't listening to my body or my spirit.

Winter truly is a season of magic. It is one that calls us into stillness and creates space for inner discovery and creative inspiration. It opens our hearts to our deepest truths and desires. It awakens vision and nourishes us on all levels so that in spring we feel ready to take inspired action.

In this week's episode of Rooted Life Radio I share some thoughts and ideas that will hopefully inspire you fall in love with winter too!
