“Winter is a time for contemplation and quiet for balancing the inner and outer worlds.”

Winter is a profound time for reflective thought, stillness, and introspection.

Following the hectic rush before and during the holidays, there now seems to be a distinct lull in activity similar to nature’s entry into hibernation. The darker days and colder temperatures are causing many of us to seek cozy, quiet, and warm spaces to rest and reflect.

For me, winter is a time to release old patterns of operating to emerge in spring with a new balance and bounce in my steps as the warmer and sunnier months emerge.
