Life stage changes seem to loom in front of us, whether they be a two digit birthday with a ZERO at the end, a marriage, starting a family, parental passing, menopause, becoming an empty-nester. There is excitment at most of the earlier stages in life. The latter stages can cause anxiety and much inward reflection. I had my first "empty nest" experience a few weeks ago and I am still adjusting to the change in my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual energy. When a child moves into adulthood and begins their life, without your daily physical presence, it affects the whole of you. I am very aware of this change and am observing myself as I adjust to this shift.What follows is a brief account of when the shift occured. Enjoy.

THIS IS MY WEEK OF COURAGE! A friend sent me this and I love it. I have it open on my computer and I read every morning before I start my day and every evening when I shut down the office.COURAGE is a LION, no fear just a focus on what you are aiming at! With strength and focus on what you want to aim at, courage is your best friend! Make courage your friend with pride and confidence! You have it, it`s been with you all along! Do not let the weakness of others take away your strength! That is courage.
I do like this as the we can sometimes let the decisions or actions of others, interrupt our focus. Lions in their homeland must use focus in order to stay alive. I had the pleasure to watch lions in action a few years ago, in Kenya. It is humbling to be in the presence of a lion. They exude courage just sitting, or walking. Their focus is unwavering when the are tracking, watching and chasing their next meal. Truly incredible to witness.
So this week, BE A LION.

A calendar new year has just begun. We spend time and energy deciding how to celebrate and who to celebrate with and hopefully we have fun or find joy in whichever way we celebrate. As well we often set resolutions for the year with gusto but often we have not really taken the time to reflect on what would we really like do differently, and when does it make sense for us to make these changes. Every 12 months we go through the season changes, work reviews, budget planning, our children`s school year calendar or our own school year calendar, wedding anniversaries, moving anniversaries, possible passport renewals and we have birthdays. So where exactly does YOUR personal new year begin?Friday 12 th December 2014
As t
he sun sets on 2014 we look back on the year and forward to the new one. Besides the usual revelry, gatherings with family and friends,traveling and the making of resolutions to do things differently next year, this is the time of year for some rest and recuperation. In nature these colder, darker months are meant for the earth to rest. It becomes covered in a blanket of snow, or possibly more rain. Refilling natures water reserves. Many animals have completed their long migrations and are in their breeding grounds, some animals hibernate. The bulbs we have planted in our gardens are lying in wait. When they are rested and have gained enough energy, they will begin to show through the soil, in time to bloom when the days become longer. Springtime waking the animals so they can give birth and start anew.
