This year
is soon coming to an end, so it is a good time look back and evaluate.
This
month’s theme is Gratitude in Bloom.
I love
gratitude. It is the softest compass I know, and somehow the most reliable.
The only
thing that can make it even better is petals.
Petals
that garnish moments with beauty, intention, and meaning.
Petals
that inspire the heart to open wider and receive more fully.
Petals
that console the tender places within us where healing is needed.
Petals
that mark what is sacred, reminding us that even the smallest gestures can be
offerings.
December
invites us to notice these petals – scattered across memory, folded into
lessons, stitched into our growth. It asks us to pay attention not only to the
obvious blessings but also to the subtle ones: the unexpected moment filled
with laughter, the warm hand on a lousy day, the single breath that helped us
to return to ourselves.
𝒢𝓇𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓉𝓊𝒹𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓅𝑒𝓉𝒶𝓁𝓈, 𝑔𝒶𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝓈𝓁𝑜𝓌𝓁𝓎. 𝒬𝓊𝒾𝑒𝓉𝓁𝓎. 𝒮𝑜𝒻𝓉𝓁𝓎.
𝐵𝓊𝓉 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝒾𝓉 𝒷𝓁𝑜𝑜𝓂𝓈. 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂𝓈.
As the
final month arrives, it offers both closure and possibility. It asks us to
honour what has been, while preparing space for what will come next. This is
the season of illumination – the last glow before the year closes its door. A
time to gather our stories, to hold what matters close, and to acknowledge how
far we have come, even if the journey looked nothing like we expected.
It is
time to dive in and see where these petals take us.
To follow
them gently, curiously, and wholeheartedly.
To let
gratitude bloom in places we have not yet explored.
And to
welcome December with an open heart –
ready to
reflect, ready to release, and ready to begin again.
