Mojave Light Musing

However you celebrate, or not, during this holiday season - let me wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and best wishes for good health and peace of mind this coming New year. For what else do we need to be happy? It's all really pretty simple. Underneath the facades, don't we all just want the same thing? I hope you are abundantly showered with all that brings your heart peace... Last year's photos but one with all of us home. There's an empty spot at our table this season. To all who are far away from "home", let the waves of love envelope you during your time away....

My 175th post! Ah, the official beginning of the winter season cycle. With it comes the dawning of longer days as we make that push toward the Sun again. A simple post this evening as I hunker down on this longest night to reflect upon the past year. The Winter Solstice is about turning within, making peace, expressing gratitude, and setting fresh intentions as the horizon grows ever brighter. Some Solstice reading for you: Understanding the December Solstice Yule Rituals: Feeding the Soul, not emptying the bank account... December Solstice Traditions   (<----I like this one the best.) Be well; stay grounded; and appreciate always. Here's to the light....

Oh dear readers....thanks to those of you reaching out, wondering where I have disappeared to. I am alive and thriving and quite well - thank you! It has been a lusciously busy few months with more offers to exhibit my works than I have had time to keep up creating anew. Family and work life seem to take precedence over creative life at the moment. All great and happy challenges to have. You'll hear no complaints from me (save not enough time in the day, of course....) There has been an interesting change of energy in my day to day place of late. Karma come due. An oppressive weight has been lifted and I didn't have to do anything but keep my distance - and my mouth shut (Well, sort of...). Never realized just how bad it has been until that source went away. I can breathe again. And smile. And, maybe, I won't have to begin my days crying in the parking lot before I even walk in the door... I will leave you with a photo (or two or five) of some of my latest portrait sessio...
