Warm Winter Solstice Wishes

As the light of longer and brighter days touches the earth this morning..

May the solstice fire lift our boldest hopes and carry them gently forward, where they are met, warm and willing, by the first breath of a brand-new sun.

May you set down, with gratitude, the stories that shaped you but no longer need your hands to tightly grip them.

Let them rest. Let your heart rise lighter.

May the way you speak to yourself be softened, washed clean of shame, making room for kindness, for curiosity, for growing grace.

May your inner landscape clear and widen, external voices fall quiet, paths loosen away, until only what truly belongs continues with you.

Remember, your becoming answers to no one else and the power of your rising is fully yours to own and carry boldly forward.

And may this longest night remind you that you are not alone — that light is held collectively, that hope travels between us, and that together we are shaping a more loving, more spacious vision of what is coming into being.
