New Years Greetings 2024

The New Year stands before you like an open doorway to new adventures, challenges, and visions. It's a magical moment, poised to unfold all the potential it holds. May you wholeheartedly embrace the magic and power inherent in the New Year, inviting new experiences into your life for growth, evolution, and strength. May your journey be blessed with abundance and joy, filling your heart with gratitude and fulfillment. Cheers to a year of wonderful possibilities!

The beginning of a New Year is one of my favorite times of the year. I love reflecting on the previous year’s adventures and being grateful for all I have experienced. I like to think about what changes I’d like to make, and what path I’d like to follow in the coming year. The New Year is a wonderful time to reflect on family and friends, our values, and what matters most to us in life.  It is a time to turn inward to your heart and drop out of our busy minds. While focused on our hearts, we awaken our intuition and connect with our Soul. This helps us to make choices that are the most beneficial for us. 

 

I am grateful for having each of you in my life. I am grateful for the challenges we have worked on together and the wonderful lessons we have learned. You are always in my heart and prayers. Blessings, Valerie 

Embracing the Winter Solstice

The Night Lay cold and silent, stars frozen in the sky

As the Winter Solstice whispered her mysteries in the stillness.

Beneath a blanket of snow which covered the sleeping earth,

I lay curled up within my abode,

I drifted in and out of consciousness. 

A gentle light crept silently into my presence,

nudging me to awaken,

To perceive the stirring beneath the earth,

The anticipation of the sun's returning warmth,

The time of rebirth was dawning.

 

My heart felt the desire to dream again,

A newfound hope kindled within me,

Night giving into the day,

growth emerging,

The cycle of life is beginning once again. 

 

The winter stillness washes over me,

Snug in my cocoon - I succumbed to the urge to rest,

Embracing this time of self-reflection and renewal,

Patience becomes my friend, as I wait for the sun’s return,

Anticipating the emergence of springtime and the unfolding transformation.
