I have trouble with Thanksgiving. I love the abundance of the holiday. I enjoy people reaching out where maybe they would not have before.

Remembering last year and creating the New Year

New Years and the “Resolution”
I gave up making resolutions many years ago. For me, it’s about setting intentions for the wondrous new year and letting go of anything unwanted or unneeded to make space for magic.
