Sometimes I think there's a reason we tend to get sick during the wintery months; other than the bitter cold air. It's a time that we are forced inside and for good reason! It's time to look inward and reconnect to your intuition. Gift yourself time to rest so you can reflect, refine and redefine your life.  For those of us living in the northern hemisphere winter coincides with new year traditions like resolutions or goals. We are gifted a new calendar year; a fresh start. Often our resolutions are a reflection of what we want to see changed in our current lives. A refinement of bad habits and a redesign to welcome newer habits that will serve us better. Whether you're limiting alcohol or cutting out sugar this is a renewal of sorts and we're feeling it! Astrologically speaking you may have had a good time tracking your habits through January's Capricorn season as Capricorns are known for their hard work and dedication to a goal. Seems like the right time to set new resolutions, to me. As January flows into February we moved into dreamy Aquarius, who reminds us of those lofty goals and tend to start to think outside of the box a bit perhaps visualizing an entirely different lifestyle. Since February 19th we have stationed in Pisces Season and it's a big one with Mercury in Retrograde for most of it. While Pisces Season already asks you to check in with your emotions, Mercury Retrograde is reminding you to look deeper into why you feel that way? Are you being reactive or proactive? Is this really something worth your time, effort and emotional attachment or can you redesign where to put your energy an time?  Ways to connect with the Wintery Season:
Let yourself grow through the darkness and redefine what comes next. You are the author of your life so be sure to write out exactly what you want to see. You got this.

Looking back at these photo blogs each year stir up thoughts on why I chose each image and TBH I'm really enjoying it. Would love to know if you make one of these too or if you have other end of year rituals. So without further ado, my Gala Darling inspired photo reflection of 2019... 2019 SUMMARIZED IN ONE PICTURE…  Those of us who keep track of Mercury's crazy cycle know how much we dread hearing those words, "Mercury's in Retrograde." Mercury is said to rule over communication, travel and technology and in our fast paced world those things going haywire can cause quite a few issues. Have you ever experienced flight cancellations and tech failures during a mercury retrograde? Those things alone can cause some communication issues... But what if we took Mercury's patterns as a sign for us to look backwards and slow down? When Mercury goes "retrograde" it appears that Mercury is moving backwards in the sky and lucky for us we just started another round on Sunday, July 7th.  Let's challenge ourselves this cycle to play nice with Mercury Retrograde. Are you ready to give it a try?
There are times our confidence gets a bit of a shake up and who can blame you in this fast paced world where information, opinions and facts are all flying at us at once from all sides! While I believe it takes time to build up your self confidence and a healthy dose of putting yourself out there, there are a few little tricks you can employ to feel confident at any moment.  When I think of this first one, I'm always reminded of that episode of Grey's Anatomy when the neurosurgeon strikes a pose before a super intense surgery. I'm not saying you have to be brain surgeon for this one to work, but perhaps this idea could gift you some of that confidence in the face of your challenge.
Hey gang! This is a guest post by the lovely Brad of selfcareing.info who reached out to me about posting. Check out these self-care tips that you may or may not already be sneaking into your day! - Jenn Rose You can’t seem to catch your breath. You have deadlines piling up; you have clutter piling up at home; and your friends are complaining that they never see you. There is so much pressure to be everything to everyone that you struggle to be something meaningful for yourself. Self-care is the victim of our fast-paced, to-do-list-obsessed, and achievement-driven society. We take on too much because doing more has become the standard. But, researchers and doctors agree, it’s not sustainable and is taking a toll on our health both mentally and physically.  It’s time to make yourself a priority. Self-care doesn’t mean you are being selfish or putting responsibilities on to others. When you take the time to care for yourself, you are making sure you are better able to care for others.
It's been a while since we've had one of these and there is SOOO much out there to be shared. This time around it's all about mindset and success. Are you ready to dive into some good stuff?! Grab a cup of you favorite hot beverage and get down to some good reading!  The Seven Secrets of Success
There are many stories shared in the Hindu traditions that provide helpful knowledge on how to attain enlightenment. While rooting around the internet one day I stumbled upon the Sivana East website, whose blog posts range from yoga ideas to mindfulness and meditation. This week I ran into Shiva's Seven Secrets of Success. |
