Heart Wide Open

The days leading up to Christmas were filled with family activities
like the family picture with Santa, driving around looking at Christmas lights.
Once Solstice arrived, outward activities ground to a turtle's pace
and I found the quiet reflective time I was craving.

We found joy in connecting while staying in our Christmas
pajamas all day and playing board games
or snuggling up to each other on the couch while
watching our favorite holiday movies.

And in the silence, we've come to the final wishcasting
for this year and Jamie asks

What do you wish for the New Year?

I'm still in the process of dreaming 2012 into
being~thanks to the lovely Leonie and her extra beautiful
2012 Creating your Goddess Year Workbook and Calendar,
but this I know for sure

I wish to stand firm in the knowledge that everything is
truly happening in accordance with divine timing and that I
can choose how to move through it all because Goddess has already
given me the tools I need deep inside of me.

No matter what comes my way in this New Year, I wish to meet it all
with my heart wide open, ready to receive the
deep blessings, healings, and lessons from every moment. 

As we bid 2011 farewell, I offer a blessing for us all

May we harvest the lessons this year taught us
with a grateful heart.

May we connect with the power of love and
dream a new year of peace and harmony
into existence

May we raise the vibration of the planet with
the depth of our love for ourselves, each other
and all beings.

Ashe'
Amen
And so it is
