I spent the transition from 2023 to 2024 in restless slumber. What began as worry gave way to the wonders of connection. Perhaps it was the stone from a sacred site tucked under my pillow, or perhaps it was something else that seeded it, but there I lay in my bed immersed inside an ever-developing vision around the concept of Connection in a way I had not yet fully embraced. For those of you who know me and have read my words or heard me talk, connection is the foundation of what I believe we are all here to find. It can take different forms. It is individually unique, yet universally binding. It is what we seek, continuously, after we are birthed into a self.
Our connections are the seeds of our being.
So on this first day of the New Year of 2024, I wish to seed the connections of peace, harmony, balance, joy, belonging, unity, understanding, grace, forgiveness and love. May these seeds germinate and form roots that thread through this life we all share.
Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the best for the year to come Alethea.
