Gather round. The table is ready. There is a place set for you. It’s time to align with the deep rhythms of this season and for the coziest ritual of the year.

It is a ritual, an annual tradition, that I have created on my own, that helps me to celebrate and honor the memories and blessings of this time of the year.

This ritual of looking back over the past year is my way of slowing down and focusing on gratitude before the holidays begin and the year comes to an end. And each Thanksgiving, when I celebrate this ritual, I carve out time to reflect back over the year and see how all of the lessons, celebrations, grief, and love have changed, informed, and carried me through it all.

If you want to see my photo essay and read a little a bit about each month over the past year, then please visit my Substack. I’ve included photos from each month and a few reflections and thoughts for each month as well. 

You can access my Substack for free right here.

Happy blessings and gratitude week, my friend. Love and light to you. Wishing you a week of coziness and inspiration in the depths of the darkness of this time of year.

xoxo. liz.
