Schlumbergera Winter Solstice 2009
A Happy Winter to you!
We certainly rang in winter in style here – with the largest snowfall on record in my area. The blizzard started on my birthday, and I got out in it – you can see my wet blizzard-face in the photo.
My Festival of Appreciation was a wonderful party. I got it in just before the blizzard really hit. I certainly appreciate everyone who came.
We’re truly fortunate to have plenty of heat and electricity and food to ride it with grace and ease.

(Schlumbergera)
Last year on my birthday, a dear friend gave me a Christmas Cactus, and it bloomed again for my birthday this year. Because they always bloom for my birthday, I’ve always felt an affinity for this plant and its flower. Its energy is also associated with the Winter Solstice.
If you are experiencing darkness in your life – in the form of struggle or depression, then the time of the Winter Solstice is a wonderful time for you to reflect and make new choices for yourself -- to let go of the thoughts and feelings that are not uplifting you.
The Winter Solstice is the time of the greatest darkness in the year, AND it marks the tipping point, the moment the days start to get longer and more light-filled.
Life is full of such cycles. We can let them remind us of the cycles in our own lives. Darkness never lasts forever, and -- unlike the solar and seasonal cycles, we humans have a lot of personal CHOICE in how long and how intensely we experience the darkness is in our own lives.
Lean toward the light. Intend to let it in, and it will start to come. And, as it starts to come, it gets easier and easier to let in more and more light.
A flower associated with this time of the Winter Solstice is the Christmas Cactus -- one of the rare photoperiodic flowers to naturally bloom in these shortest, darkest days. Let their exquisite, ephemeral beauty remind you of the light and goodness that exist even at what seem to be the darkest times.
 As the great artist Henri Matisse said: “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.”
Enjoy the flowers along the path of life!
Schlumbergera Affirmation:
I can blossom even in my darkest hours because I have the free will to choose to bloom.
