Sharing Joy on Our International Day of Happiness

Freedom! carefree childhoodDid you know? Our International Day of Happiness is today!

I get my happy on this time every year on March 20th because Vernal Equinox is coming right up in my neck of the woods.  But the United Nation’s decision in 2012 to establish our International Day of Happiness gives us extra reasons to delight – Happy Day is designed to remind us to “celebrate unity and call on the international community to recognize the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples.

Celebrating Your Internal Light on Winter Solstice

Congratulations! You made it! You’ve reached the longest night of the year – Winter Solstice.  

In a matter of hours, the days will begin to get longer, and little by little, you will see the outer light return.

Really and truly, no matter how dark or cold it appears, the days will begin lengthening.shine_energy_5-300x225

But right now, we are celebrating the alchemical light glowing inside you.

The fact that you are reading this means you have what it takes.  Your internal strength and fierce determination have pulled you all the way through experiences you may not have known you would survive.

You are, as Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes of Women who Run with the Wolves says, “S.S. – Still Standing!”

And I am blessed to be here with you.

May you see the light that is you reflected in the eyes of the people you love, so it will shine more brightly in the sharing.  And may you go forward with a space of gratitude, knowing you have more than enough courage and more than enough heart to inspire all those you touch through your journeys.

With Blessings of Alchemy and Great Love,
