Woman on the Remake: Three Questions to Ask Yourself
"We are at a place of initiation, the crossroad of choice that will determine if we travel together into a higher way of being or plummet back into the darkness to continue searching for the light." - Sherri Mitchell (from her book: Sacred Instructions - Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change)
Remake Your January: 1 Day, 31 Times
Happy New Year! And welcome to Dryuary! Okaaayyyyy. Whomp whomp. That’s how I felt when January 1 actually rolled around. Despite feeling excited and confident about the idea of dropping alcohol for 31 days (why the hell did I agree to this), when I lay my head on my pillow at 10:35pm on New Year’s Eve (That’s right! I went to bed EARLY!), I was less than thrilled about the concept of a sober January. You see, I had a tough year. We all did. There’s no need to list everything that happened, we were all there, living through it.
Finding Stillness
I’ve spent the last few weeks desperately trying to pursue the idea of a calm, low-stress holiday season. In the midst of a pandemic that has turned 2020 upside down, including canceling or changing normal holiday gatherings and traditions, I thought at least we could have some peace and quiet in our home.
