Patience in motion, the light within you, and the ebbs and flows.



MONTHLY REMINDER

Reader, patience is a form of action.

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What am I preparing to receive?
  • How will I make space for what's to come?
  • When I get what I want, how will I make sure I savour, nurture and maintain it?

DECEMBER'S REFLECTION PROMPT

In December, I will honour the last 12 months by...

Whatever 2024 has signified for you, it's all part of the journey. Some dots may have connected (or not). Some anomalies may have popped up. The year may have produced some questions; it may have answered some. You made it. Keep going. How will you choose to say goodbye to 2024? What will you take with you? What will you leave behind?


2 QUOTES WORTH PONDERING

1. Poet, Rumi on the illumination we seek:

"If everything around seems dark, look again; you may be the light."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • When did I shine brightest this year?
  • Who or what has been a lighthouse for me?
  • How will I share my light in the next 12 months?

2. Poet Emily Dickinson on life's waves:

"I wish you a kinder sea."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What conditions am I currently in?
  • What has my sea offered me this year (e.g. cleansing, challenge, anointing etc.)?
  • This year, what's ebbed? This year, what's flowed?
  • When have I moved with the current? When have I moved against it?
  • How have I stayed afloat?
