JANUARY JAUNTS

There is something fabulous in visiting new places — whether they're across the country or minutes from home. Although I have to fight my urge to hibernate like a mama bear when it's freezing outdoors, I find my willingness to head outdoors is always rewarded.

January was a time of resetting for me ... wrapping up 2021 and bringing fresh, new energy and viewpoints to 2022.

As I looked back over some of my favorite photos and moments from the month, a theme began to emerge...and the color blue came to the forefront.

And what a perfect hue to express the feeling of January! It's a fresh month in a new year. The temps (at least here in the northern hemisphere) are brisk. The light is cool.

I took a first trip to Austin for time with a client, explored my words for the year, took hikes in the North Carolina woods both solo and with Clover, and wrapped up the Zen Den installation at a local high school. 

It is time to leave this inaugural month of the year. 

While "blue" sometimes has a sad, depressed meaning, I feel quite differently about it. The blues of 2022 are calming, inviting, and peaceful. They hold promise for so many good things to come. And there's no hurry to get to them. I'll rest in the quiet and find joy in the new discoveries. To receive and embrace things as they come. To enjoy the jaunts.

XO,

Christy
