For many of us, this is a month where we take time to contemplate what we are grateful for. In these times, that can feel cruelly hard. Yet, remembering there is more than hardship in our lives has value.
I am grateful, first and foremost, for my husband. He has been in my life for more than two decades now and is the sun to my earth, the musician for my dance, the partner of my dreams. He opens doors I did not now existed and invites me to new adventures.
I am grateful for my local community, which is stimulating and diverse and appreciates me for exactly who I am.
I am grateful for my friends. They are a wonderful group of interesting, intelligent people. Through them I learn about the world and see it through different eyes.
I am grateful for my coven JaguarMoon, past, present, and future. Through them I am taught new things, constantly.
I am grateful for my teachers. Their gentle discipline and guidance has opened up new vistas for me to explore.
I am grateful for my family. We’ve been through a lot, and evolved into several different permutations, and there will always be love.
I am grateful for my home, which is beautiful and a source of safety on many levels.
I am grateful for Deity, without whom I would not be.
