...friday thoughts

... i can hardly believe another year has come and gone.  

it seems the older i get, 

the quicker the time goes and the more i am trying to 

hold on to each little, tender moment.

this is a time of reflection for me (as i know it is for most of us)... looking back, remembering, 

writing down intentions for the upcoming year, 

things i want to release and let go of, 

focusing on that which i want to bring into my life.

my dear friend Londa posted a question today ... 

asking for ONE word to define this past year ... 

so tell me, what's yours??  

What is your ONE word to sum up 2011??

peaceandlove always ... 

blessings upon the new year ahead ... 

let us keep seeking the good and striving for the better.

...winter solstice RELEASE!!!

it isn't too late ... 

to create bundles of all that you may want

 TO RELEASE...TO LET GO OF...

TO NO LONGER CARRY...

 during the winter solstice. 

(and if you don't want to create a bundle...

write it on a slip of paper ... and release it...burn it...let it go)

the amazing, intuitive, keeper of ceremony, earth mama, 

wise beyond her years, Pixie Campbell 

(who is a gift to me in so many ways)

is heading up 

"The Mother of All Releasings Ceremony" ... 

the video below is pure magic ... 

women circling together is so powerful, so necessary...

and even more so, releasing all that we carry

that is just far too heavy and unnecessary

to let it weigh us down any longer.

It is time to 

RELEASE IT...DROP IT...LET IT GO.

thank you Pixie, thank you ... for the gift that is YOU.

(i adore you.)

say whaaaaaat wednesday??

(my work in progress ... more to come)

Gathering:  an assembly or meeting,

to cause to come together; convene;

to bring together into one group, collection or place

today i have been sitting here thinking 

about the beauty of "gathering"...
the necessity of it

gathering around a table to break bread 

and share laughter, tears, conversation, friendship;

gathering around a campfire to tell stories and sing;

gathering around a friend that may 

need to be lifted up, supported, heard, held;

gathering with my littles to show them 

love and comfort and safety;

gathering in a circle to look at one another,

pray, send out positive vibes, embrace;

gathering with others to share dreams and aspirations;

gathering with family and loved ones to 

create traditions and make memories.

what is a way in which you love to gather??


would love to hear...
peaceandlove,
kolleen
