“Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.”

We begin the first week of 2022 with the energy of a New Moon which heralds the start of a new cycle in our journey of awakening, healing, and growth. January is always a month where we are offered the space needed to acclimatize to the energy of a new year. As such, we are gifted this time to gain insight, clarity and to observe the space we are entering into.

In Touch with True Emotions
Gut Response
Our bellies can be wonderful monitors of our emotional health, and the truth can always be found there.
So often, emotions that we long to express get stored in our bodies instead. T

Friendship is hard to explain, and it’s not something that can be inherited or learned.
However, if we don’t get to experience real reciprocal friendship with another being, then we are missing out on one of the most underrated parts of human life.

Treehugger: What to See in the Night Sky for January 2022
A dark sky meteor shower, Mercury rising, and a full ‘wolf moon’ kick off the new year.
A very happy New Year and welcome to 2022! January is typically pretty light on exciting night sky reasons to get outside—and for those of us in parts of the Northern Hemisphere under a deep freeze, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Inner Journey:
GETTING DOWN TO ESSENTIALS
“Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.”
— Lin Yutang
Do you feel a desire to simplify your life?
If you say ‘yes,’ then set an intention to reduce the demands, stimuli, interruptions and busyness in your life. We each have the power to do this – we simply have to begin to say ‘no’ to those activities that don’t directly serve what we want for our lives.
Everyone of this planet deserves to have some free time to think, relax and have fun. If you long for this, begin now to clear your plate and allow a new level of experience to happen in your life. Take charge. Eliminate time wasters. Make some decisions about what matters to you.
“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”
— Hans Hofmann

Creation
“Musical comedies aren’t written, they are re-written.”
-Stephen Sondheim
Many creative endeavors take sweat. It’s a lot of work to get them to the point where we really feel that they are as good as they can be, the best that we can make them. The joy is in the process of creating. And when we feel we have reached completion, and created something that we can be proud of, the feeling is amazing.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Lovers
If you’re hesitant to do something or to make a decision, that’s OK. What urgently needs to be done will be done, so don’t worry about it. There may simply be too many options and too many conflicting requests coming up all at the same time. Sometimes hesitation can be a sign of prudence and a refreshing change from impulsiveness.
