My Winter Solstice Advent 2016 ~~ Last year, I created my Solstice Advent using crystals... I placed one each day on a bamboo tray with an alter cloth, slowly forming a spiral. On Yule (Winter Solstice), I placed a candle in the centre of the spiral and lit it to pay homage to the Sun, in gratitude for warmth and light, and to set my intentions with the days that were to grow longer and longer from that point on. ~~ This year, I am creating my advent on line... a list of things to be grateful for, to enjoy, to work towards, to manifest... my thoughts and feelings in Light and Love. Each day I am adding one more to the list. On Yule, I will be spending some time with my list and putting it to good use... taking my schedule for 2017 in hand and beginning to plan for making the most of the ideals I've placed on my Solstice Advent. Feel free to check back to read my latest entries (both, here, and on Facebook). In the meantime, I wish you, reading this, the very best of holiday seasons, with all of the Warmth and Light that you deserve through the winter months to come.
December:

3rd) Kitchen Time... soaking up the bliss of mindful abundance and creativity
4th) Communication... keeping in touch, be it a phone call, a card, an email, or getting together
5th) Sparkle... be it in my home decor, my fashion sense, or my attitude to viewing the world
6th) Giving... life is full of abundance and it doesn't take much to funnel it's bounty to others, sharing
7th) Activity... while I'm never going to be an athlete, it's still a good idea to get myself up and get moving for a few minutes or go for an hour's walk / swim.
8th) Fluids... drink more, especially water and vitamin enhanced water, broth, herbal teas
9th) Visits With The Ladies... from close friends, to new friends, to ladies groups

13th) Ceremony... little points of action that keep me mindful and align me to the flow of the Universe that I want to be in
14th) Catalystic Nudges... paying attention to Universe's encouragements
15th) Reassessment... no matter how used to previous ways of life I have become, take a moment once in a while to check in with myself to see if I still want the same things from myself and the world
16th) Self Permission... my needs are valid and I deserve to go after what I want in life, and others deserve to know that they can go after what they want in life too
17th) Karmic Journeying... checking in with my Soul to see if I have off-set what I need to, and created what I need to, to get myself in a place of Oneness with the Universe
