A Sense of Wonder

The last weeks of the year are infused with a special kind of magic. Children feel it instinctively, and perhaps we too, can let ourselves be touched by it as we move through the busyness of this season. Here, beneath the lists of our commitments and the closing of unfinished chapters, lies an invitation to soften. To remember that we are held by something greater than ourselves, guided by currents that move in ways we cannot always see. And so, as we honor all that still asks for our attention before a new year can begin, may we also leave space for the sense of magic that moves quietly around us. 

This week, allow yourself to lean into this quiet magic. What asks for your presence as the year comes to a close? How can you tend to what matters most while also softening into the feeling of being carried? Where can you reconnect with your childlike sense of wonder? If life has felt overwhelming, move in a slow, unhurried pace, meeting each responsibility one breath at a time. Trust that you are supported by something greater than yourself and leave space for the quiet mysteries of life. Let the magic in, dear one.
