JADE'S JOURNAL

How's your Winter been going? This time brings stillness. Darkness. Death. Rebirth. Renewal. We just celebrated Imbolc. Imbolc is a Pagan holiday on Feb. 1st which honors this very mid-point between Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox ~ We take this time to celebrate the shedding of Winter's decay, and awaiting the return of the Sun.

Whew... We did it! We made it through another year on this beautiful planet. How amazing?! Although 2018 seemed to just fly right by ~ I do love the magic that this season brings. There are over 20 holidays celebrated by various cultures from the months of October to February, and this can bring about many different feelings & energies. I love to use these colder months as a way to spread some warmth...I love gathering with friends & family, sharing meals & memories, and expressing our love for one another. While I don't support corporate capitalism, or the encouragement...
