A Solstice Blessing

May you have a warm heart,
open hands,
a creative mind.

May you experience inspiration and brilliance,
clarity and focus.
May you laugh richly and deeply.

May you circle and celebrate,
may you change and grow

May that which is waiting to be unlocked
be freed.

And may you soar with the knowing
that you are carried by a great wind across the sky.

Just a quick post to share some pictures from our family solstice celebration last night (mouse over or click for captions). We didn’t do everything I had planned and trying to have a ceremony that includes children can be a chaotic, frustrating, and wild experience (separate blog post about this on another day!), but I enjoy our traditions and I’m pretty sure it is worth it…

I took some of our year’s projects down to the woods before our winter solstice ritual in appreciation for all that we created in 2014.

Mother Earth present

My husband secretly worked on a new project design and surprised me with this for Solstice!

I bought matching oak leaf rings for us.

Bright blessings of the season to you!
