I am here, well and alive. I disappeared in the seasonal darkness to rest and return to stillness. I didn't plan it, it just happened. I might still explore that space further but I wanted to come out on this winter solstice to send you my yearly workbook.

For the eighth year, I am inviting you to say goodbye to the current year in a positive and creative way and plan the next with Honouring Your Story. 

We don't analyse our mistakes, errors of judgement or missed opportunities. I believe that a review should be a celebration, an opportunity to raise our self-esteem, not beat ourselves up (we do it often enough!). 

2022 had its share of good times and not so good ones but there were valuable lessons to be learned, new ways to think and new ideas to explore. I am not the same person as I was a year ago and I can't wait to sit down and reflect on this with Prompt #3. There were also lovely moments — there always are. I am going to do my mosaic of photos tonight. You can do all the activities or just the ones that speak to you.

I  have attached the workbook for Honouring Your Story 2022/23 as well as a picture of the Chartres Cathedral labyrinth.

I will be running my free 7-Day Challenge again — New Year, Fresh Start — to further help you start 2022 strong. Look out for the emails starting December 30th. Don’t miss these activities! 

Let's pray on this winter solstice that the return to light brings a brighter year for the world and ourselves! I am sending much love and encouragement. I believe in you.
