Elephant Journal: 2022: Instead of Resolutions, choose a Word.
Wow, we’ve all been through a couple of challenging years, no?
Life has changed for all of us in so many ways, and it can be easy to focus on the not-so-pleasant. But there is always power in focusing on what we did accomplish, how we did make it through, and what we are inviting more of for next year.

EarthSky News: EarthSky’s meteor shower guide for 2022
January 2-3, 2022, night, Quadrantids
In 2022, watch for the Quadrantids after midnight and before dawn on January 3. The moon will be new, making for great meteor-observing conditions. The Quadrantids can produce over 100 meteors per hour in a moonless sky, and this year is such a time.

Patheos-Pagan: Best Witchcraft & Magickal Books of 2021
JASON MANKEY
Can one really determine the “best books” in a given calendar year? I’m going to say no, simply because there’s no way to possible read every book in a given year. So what we have on this list are the “best” books I read this year. Your favorites (and “bests”) are probably going to be different, and they should be, and that’s OK.

Inner Journey:
A NEW VIEW
A friend shared this moment of awakening. She was moaning, “I never get anything done.” Her companion replied, “Perhaps you never get EVERYTHING done.” Oh… of course!
A shift in perspective can bring both understanding and release.
“Besides learning to see, there is another art to be learned — not to see what is not.”

A Note from the Universe
Just because you can have it all, doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you until you do.
To the contrary, it means you’re smoking on fire, destined for greatness, exactly where you should be, with thoughts that become things, in a dream of your own creation, about to blast off as you become who you are meant to be.
Wily,
The Universe

“Individualism is rather like innocence; there must be something unconscious about it.”
-Louis Kronenberger
When we’re comfortable in our skin then our true self shows through naturally – we don’t have to think about impressing anyone or doing the “right” thing, we just are who we are and everything is great. We can relax and be ourselves knowing that all is well.
