2024 Highlights
Nature is so vibrant, even in the depths of winter.
She always brings me into a state of presence and simultaneously, blows my mind to smithereens.
I often go forest-bathing or hiking alone to daydream or with clients and friends to build vision. I like to joke about eyegasms and naturegasms, because it's so easy to keep walking and talking without really noticing the beauty that surrounds us and I like to make people stop and take notice.
Today I walked alone in the whispers of a dragon's breath fog that rolled in so quickly it engulfed me. For a moment I couldn't see my feet and floated away morphing into a wild banshee, lost in a fairytale forest of rusty dried leaves falling like snowflakes from near-naked oaks. I took off my shoes to feel the velvety cool moss beneath my feet and landed back on the ground again.
This time of year is always magical with the twinkly lights at every turn and nostalgic carols on the radio repeat. It's also a chaotic jumble of gatherings and emotions entangled with a mad dash to the finish line of loose threads to be tied from Christmas to the New Year. It's the time to go inward, to hibernate and reflect on the lessons learnt. From the highs and lows to the good and bad gifts received throughout the year.
