Hello, Reader,

Whew, what a whirlwind! This month truly flew by. How were your holidays?

Now that the chaos of Christmas is over, I'm ready to sink into winter.

This is the best time to focus on rest, and as someone who practices seasonal slow living, this is an essential part of my annual rhythm.
​
I'll even be taking the next week off from posting new recipes and the regular hamster wheel of content creation to get some time away from my phone and social media and spend more time with my family before everyone goes back to school and work.
​
But one of my favorite winter traditions, and one of my priorities for this weekend, is to conduct a winter solstice reflection.​

Lots of people like to set new year's resolutions and goals, but this process is what you need to do BEFORE that.

It helps you stop, look back, and realize what worked and what didn't.

Every winter, I make a big mug of tea, print out whichever pages I want to complete from my printable guide (usually all of them), and I spend some time getting centered before I start.

Then, I follow the pages to get a crystal clear picture of where I started, where I am now, and where I want to go.

Honestly, I consider this process my "secret to success."

It helped me make massive, transformational changes in my life, relationships, and businesses to gradually build a life that actually feels like my own.

Anyway, I normally share recipes and such and you can totally find more of those on the blog or in my seasonal magazine, but I only share this tool once a year and now is the time.

​I've got it on sale until the end of the year and once you buy it once, you'll have it to reuse year after year.

Take care of yourself! Have a wonderful weekend!
