i love the way you just out it out there…not that i’m always sure what “it” is! haha!

so on to your thing…it’s most helpful, i feel, to get an idea and a feeling for where your heart is leading you. and this is such a great time to do that…longest night of the year is saturday night…shortest day of the year sunday…then the following saturday (27th) is new moon…darkest night of the month in the darkest month of the year so wow! that’s dark!

so its a good time to look inward, away from external referents. maybe bundling up and taking a nice rambling night walk. maybe a meditation before that to get you in the space. it’s really powerful out there right about now. and from the 24th to the 27th it’ll be super powerful…start tuning in!

now…for looking back at the year that was…i find it helpful to look at categories…like…you have bunnies, a bf, 2 blogs, shiva nata, lots of stuff to categorize with. so break the year up into 12 sections, that’s very convenient, and then give each of those things a column…ooh! a spreadsheet!

then jot down a few impressions from each of those months about each of your little categories…if you come up with more stuff load it up! you are a maths type so pretty soon you’ll have graphs and pie charts and who knows what else…and you will start to see the connections, like the relationship between your yoga practice and your bunny love…

then go for a walk in the dark dark dark! you are bound to get some inner clarity. and for extra juiciness do a short version of the category exercise looking at the whole year of 2007, and 2006, and 2005, and the five year block of 2000 through 2004, and then the whole decade of the 90′s…

you are bound to have some interesting revelations…(remember that bf is a category…that one alone should be quite insightful taken back far enough).

don’t forget to turn the direction around the other way after the 27th…as the moon waxes moving us into a new lunar year it is a great time for new beginnings!

peace to you!
