We have just passed through the first level of the "Holiday Season". Thanksgiving which has its own personality and is an amazing opportunity to realize how crazily blessed we are, does open the door to December 25. We are reminded by the store front decorations and the added genre button on our Sirius or XM radios, but what beckons this holiday season more is memories.

Christmas and Winter Solstice represent New Birth and Beginning. The days will begin to grow longer and provide us with ample opportunity to change, to grow, and to recreate. The Star that the wisemen gazed upon to find their savior is still in our sky. It continues to draw us towards a hope for something beautiful and true. There is a newness in the air that is struggling to push through the old.

Memories do serve a purpose. They connect us to one another. They tie us to places and events. They even sometimes define who we are. Memories can also slow us down, prevent creativity and chance taking, and sometimes cause us pain. How do your memories serve you? Tradition is a behavior that is carried down from generations within a family, or culture. How do your Traditions serve you? As each "tradition" is repeated year after year, they carry with them the collected feelings and memories of all who were involved. They bring the happiness and the pain. They bring the pain from missing the happiness. Sort through your traditions and memories at the beginning of this season and see what can be exchanged for the new. Do memories allow for your heart and soul to feel light and fresh or do they bring a heaviness? Start now to discover a new way to celebrate and share your time with your loved ones. Do it together while honoring individuality. Create the New and welcome in the star's light.
