“Darkness invites us to slow down, turn inward, and reflect on what’s gone well while we prepare the seeds for what we’d like to grow in the coming year.”

Although I know nothing about numerology apparently 2025 also marks the close of a nine-year cycle, bringing together themes of completion, letting go, spiritual growth, and transformation.

In your life Some chapters have ended through loss or separation.

We’re intentionally wrapping up others by shedding what’s no longer needed so we can prepare for 2026 when a new chapter begins.

Sunday is the winter solstice
It’s a great time to honor what’s coming to a close.

Why not take small pockets of screen-free, distraction-free time this week.

As you sit, walk, or move in stillness (or boredom), let insights surface without forcing them into being.

Jot down what comes to you.

Reflect on these questions:


• What was life like in 2017? That’s the 9 year phase I talked about earlier. If you don’t want to use 9 years why not pick 2019 – pre pandemic.

• What did you want to accomplish or change?

• How have you grown in those areas?

• What from this chapter of your life has come to completion?

• How has that completion come about?

• What lessons have you learned?

• What achievements do you want to celebrate?

• What feels clearer now?

Once you’ve had time to look back, turn your attention to the present:


• What areas of your life seem to need attention or growth? Creativity? Family? Finances? Physical health? Something else?

• What would you like to begin or accomplish between now and the spring equinox on March 20, 2026? This may or may not be related to any 2025 goals

• Who will you need to be to bring these intentions to life?

• Who will you need to bring on board for this to happen?

• What will you need to do to make that happen?

• How committed are you to this one thing?

• What might possibly interfere with accomplishing this.

You can and should use these types of questions when attempting to measure anything in terms of growth.

“Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.”
DORIS LESSING

This is kind of funny if you think about it. The conditions really always are impossible….or you wouldn’t even be thinking about it. You’d have already done whatever it is you’re trying to rationalize away.

Don’t wait til you lose weight to start interacting with others more. Don’t wait until you’re rich before you have fun. Don’t wait for anything.

Find a way to do what you want to do now.

Figure out what you’re meant to do, even if it’s just what you’re meant to do TODAY and not for the rest of the world.

We all listen to Dr Gilbert and we know that it’s not just what you want, but it’s what you REALLY want that matters. Once you know that, then you have begun your life’s purpose process. (I did that alliteration intentionally)

But what if you haven’t figured that out yet? Should you just hang out and not do anything?

Should you pray for the “right conditions”? Do you even know what the right conditions are? I’ve given you examples of how I or someone else thought they knew the plan, the way to get from point A to B, thinking they had plotted the shortest route. Only to be “fooled” by the universe and taken to point B via points D, R, M and T on the way. What the heck?

Thats what this quote means when it says the conditions are always impossible.

If you do something NOW, you have a better chance of finding out what you’re meant to do. Everything in life and I mean everything is comprised of baby steps, including what you think your ultimate purpose is. You may be surprised to find out later that getting to point B was not what you were meant to do at all. It was something else. While you’re doing something, the other pieces will fall into place.

Con you be someone else’s Thomas Edison?

Maybe you’re meant to have coffee with someone who’s lonely or had a recent loss.

That’s not curing cancer for the world but it’s being Thomas Edison in that person’s life. You brought light into their life. And with that light came hope.

What are you meant to do today and who are you going to be Thomas Edison for today?

Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: This is so beautiful. And so useful. We can spend a long time trying to find some sort of meaning in what we do. Once we do, though, then it’s time to realize that we must give it away in order for that meaning to be meaningful.

A purpose has to be about other people somehow. How can we spread our knowledge and compassion to others to help enrich their lives? That ought to be a question we ask ourselves every morning.

Most people go through life searching for their purpose without realizing they have to find the meaning first. They have to find something that strikes them deeply. Something they are passionate about. Something they live and breathe every minute of every day. They need to find that before they can begin with their purpose – the giving it away. I loved medicine. I wanted to be in the “blood and guts” constantly. I was passionate about medicine. But my purpose was to use it to help others – to give it away.

This can seem a bit tricky but if you take some time to contemplate it or meditate on it, I think it will become clearer.
