This time of the year for me is a time of reflection, a time for me to see what I have nurtured and grown in my personal garden since spring. It is a time to see areas of personal growth in my physical and spiritual realms. Just like the crops we harvest at this time of year each of us has grown and we each need to remember the importance of this opportunity to look back and recognize all the gardening and weeding we actually did to produce such growth in our beautiful personal garden. This is a time for celebrating our accomplishments, a time to reflect on how far we have grown and in what areas of our life.
Many times we have the tendency to focus on what we think we do not have, on what we have not yet accomplished. This perspective is not useful and often stops us in our tracks. While it is wise to plan for our future, our future is created with our daily actions in present time. This is a time to acknowledge and affirm each and every growth we have had and to celebrate each opportunity that led us to strengthen our self.
May we all take time to harvest the crops of our personal growth; may we feed ourselves and others around us and within our communities during the long winter months and may the energy of our accomplishments and growth do the same for us, physically, mentally and spiritually. Take this opportunity to shine your light on every bit of growth that took place this year. ….Love, light, and many blessings, Christina
