I love the song Auld Lang Syne. It captures the mood that I always feel during those days that stretch from Christmas into the beginning of the new year. Nostalgic. Romantic. Reflective. Grateful. And, if there is ever a week to feel all of those things, then it is this week.

So, here we are. At the end of 2024. Another year has gone and we begin to turn our thoughts and attention to the new year that is before us,

And so, for the sake of old times, “for auld lang syne”, my dear. Let us settle our souls and remember the days and months that have passed. Let us quiet all thoughts and worries for the future as much as we can, and turn our focus way down deep into the spaces that hold our secret dreams and wishes. Let us listen and write. Let us dream and ponder. But, more than anything, let’s just rest for a while. Linger in the moment, allow the darkness to soften our souls, as the days melt into one another during this most magical, liminal time.

Now is the time to just be.

New Year’s blessings to you. xoxo. liz.
