Warming Up to Winter

Winter has historically been my least favorite season.  Cold, dark days are not as inspiring to me as warm, sunny ones.  However, in a quest to deepen gratitude, I looked for new ways to approach winter.  The Scandinavians seem to have figured out many ways to thrive during their dark, cold months…maybe I could learn something from them. 

My study uncovered several new "winter brights" to add to my tool kit that come from this region.  All of these tools have a few ideas in common...all focus on how we FEEL about connecting to the world around us.  All three are about using our senses to experience life…all three encourage a mindset shift towards living each moment.  My hope is that these winter brights might help you bring a lighter spirit to your winter.  You can learn more about each of them in my February Newsletter.
