Winter Solstice Wishes

Wishing Winter Solstice Blessings love and light
So the circle of life moves on and now we reach the winter solstice, Yule a time when the nights are at their longest and the days short. The earth takes a silent breath and is still, Winter has truly arrived.
It is that moment of contemplation knowing that the the sun is starting to return slowly but surely. It always amazes me that at the start of winter their truly is that light at the end of the tunnel, even though the winter is just begun.. That does not mean I do not love the moments of quiet and solitude it brings, or the wild winds and storms, as this can be a great time for transformation.
Celebrations, family, friends and gathering together. Yule brings with it the promise of a full table, and tokens of love and kindness. Ignoring the commercial drive to get us to purchase all those things we really do not need, let us instead remember that for those less fortunate, a simple action can make a world of difference, for every small action multiplied over and over becomes something that will make those desperately needed changes. 
In the same way as the earth slumbers let us take a step back, make a mental note of what we can do to aid her in her barren time so as when she awakens agin in spring, we can offer her a chance to grow fresh roots that are free from the contaminants of over indulgence and selfish neglect.
May this season bring you Yuletide Blessing full of Love and the returning Light, to fill your days with balance and harmony, Let it touch your heart and lift your soul.
