One of my favorite personal ceremonies each year is to refresh my front entry as a way to welcome the new energies of the Solar New Year. Last Saturday afternoon was the time I had set aside and – as you can see from the photo here – the sun participated in my celebration! 

As I swept the porch, clearing away dust and leaves from the winter, I focused on appreciation for all of the blessings in my life, as well as my inspiration for new projects, and my eagerness for all of the visions of creation that lie ahead.

After I swept away the past, I refreshed the hummingbird feeder and potted up some new primroses. The final step of the ceremony was to place a new doormat to officially welcome the new beginning. 

Now each time I cross the threshold I am filled with happiness and anticipation, feeling the new energies of creation that are entering my home and my life.

I share this tradition of refreshing your entry in case it will inspire you, too, to mark your own celebration of releasing the past and welcoming the new energies of life that are with you now. 

If you’d like to learn more about the Dragon Year and celebrate the new energies of life, there are still a few spots left in Friday night’s Dragon Year talk. We also just added a new Zoom option for those who can’t be here in person! (You can purchase tickets here.)

However you are inspired to begin the new season of life, I encourage you to be patient and kind with yourself and others.  The momentum of powerful change is real and can often feel overwhelming. Dragons are beautiful teachers for us now. They show us how to thrive in the physical world by allowing our energy to flow. This is how we learn to fly.

This connection between flow, emotional release, and flight is something I am personally excited to explore. The challenges are real, and even more so are the opportunities. There is good fortune, abundance and protection available for us all. Let’s fly!

Love,
