Once again the Winter Solstice is here (for those of us in the northern hemisphere), and I am thinking about light.
Sure it’s pretty dark out there as I write this. (OK who am I kidding…its pitch black!) But the almost full moon will move into place soon, and if the clouds clear outside my door, we’ll get some light in the night sky.
Even on this short day, and all the darkness, I’m not really thinking about the dark. I’m thinking about the light.
As usual, I sat in meditation at the time of the Solstice. And without even looking up at the clock I knew when the actual Solstice was because I felt these amazing waves of vibration move through my body.
There was no mistake that there was an energetic event happening. It truly felt like waves of light.
That energy, right at that moment, had so much light held within it, that it felt as though it took what was in me — in my heart— and carried it out into the Universe.
I’m always moved by the power of the Solstice. And in simply sitting in silent reflection and prayer as this powerful energy swept through me, I feel like a new opening has been created for what is to come.
Whether you felt all this energy at that time, or not, is not of concern. Whether you felt it or not…this energy swept in. I have no doubt that this light moved through each and every one of us. And with this energy, what is in your heart can be carried away as well.
Let it.
Let it carry away what is creating pain; and let it carry the message of what brings you joy and what you want to see move into form to the four corners of the Universe and beyond.
It’s not too late to let this energy do its thing. No matter where you are on the planet, this light is there. And, it is powerful.
So in this time of light — even on this darkest day for some — I wish for you what is in your heart. May you expand into what is next as this light moves through.
Happy holidays.


ling ride has us tossing our arms up over our heads as we creep up the hill. Soon we’ll be feeling the rush of heading down the hill and around the next turn.
Well, I’m an energy worker; I read energy. And the energy right now is pretty powerful.
