The Solstice is Coming! Monday Morning/Weekly Check-In Post
How Are You?
Sing it! “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…..”
I know this is not true for all, and, to be honest, even when it is true it can also be stressful a.f.
The Holidays with a capital T and a capital H.
Memories of being broke and broken and still shopping for my family, putting their gifts on credit cards that would take me years to pay off, being the dutiful, good little girl I was programmed to be.
The Solstice, however, this day is just pure magic to me. I can feel my excitement building toward it and toward what lies ahead for us, meaning Jon, the doggies, and me, and also the bigger us, the collective, as we head into the hugest of huge astrological shifts of both the sun and Pluto moving into Aquarius on January 20th.
It’s an Age of Aquarius landmark, of this I am certain. How the powers that be (meaning the uber-wealthy and their political allies operating with the patriarchal constructs as their support system) will respond to these energies has yet to be seen. If we use history as our guide, they will not go gently into that good night.
The distribution of power will be moving out of the hands of the select few to the many.
This Solstice will celebrate the ending of how it has been and the beginning of how it will be. The magic of “the return of the light” feels more prescient and powerful than ever.
I’ll also be working every day up through the Solstice itself and have jammed my calendar with clients, two city council meetings, and our annual Solstice event with celebrations afterward.
It’s a lot and I am excited and fired up for it!
How are you today? Please drop me a comment below and let me know.
Our annual Winter Solstice event is this Thursday, December 21st (the actual day of the Solstice), and on Zoom this year, for the first time. Please join us at 12:00pm Pacific. If you’ve never experienced my work, this one will be a lot of fun, with so much healing, information, support, and love.

I love that you all support each other in these shares.
Coping with some seasonal depression and yes I’m a therapist. It’s good to normalize that moods fluctuate especially the seasons. Another way I’d say it without using western medical language is that I’m processing a backlog of emotions since we are in yin/winter time. And I’m at peace with that even though this state can be hard. And yes I do all the self care things so I don’t want any advice from anyone (another reason I like safety of Substack over Facebook). I haven’t checked in for awhile but I have been reading all your posts. I’m looking forward to your solstice webcast!! I’m registered this time. 💙
