So beautiful. I LOVE winter so much. And as much as I’m ready for spring I’m kind of not too… this winter I created a whole new heart-opening cacao habit that I will be holding tight to as the days warm, I’m sure I can adjust to sipping it in the morning air instead of a cosy sofa den 😘 thank you for this lovely read first thing this morning Sarah xx
I so admire your attitude around winter! I suppose I love it too, for the very reasons described above. But never in my life have I said those words: I love winter.
I've only just got into cacao, having some full strength on a recent retreat and bringing it home with me, the ceremonial stuff is awesome, but I do watch the strength for a day to day dose 😂
What beautiful writing. You've summed up my thoughts perfectly. I'm looking forward to spring and the freshness of new growth but at the same time I'm not quite reading to leave behind that quiet winter stillness.
I think this is perhaps one of the nicest times of year, transitionally. There’s that cosiness and stillness, and yet the days are getting that tiny bit longer and brighter 🤗
It’s so liberating to read, to have this way soft way to work with winter, instead of against it. I love how we gather energy and respect that need, in order to be present in the warmer months. For the first time in a few years, I feel a spark and I slowly feel spring in my bones, and it feels ever so hopeful, but I am respecting this slow transition and respect my need to rest still for a while. ✨ Lovely words Sarah and Kolina!
So feeling this reminder! At least my body, my mind has enough of winter vibes 😂
I was so done with winter and really felt the darkness and death aspects of nature and our life over winter, not in forms of depression or anything, just very raw and real connection to nature and how it reflected internally.
So when in spent most of February in bed with the most annoying flu that just didn’t want to let me go, I realised that I was pulled back into rest. Resting especially when I was so impatient and ready to move towards spring. The unusual warm weather outside made me believe I could cut winter short until the flu hit me. 😅 learnt my lesson.
I’ll be happy to leave the winter bugs behind, that’s for sure! But there’s just something about the pace of winter that I’m not quite ready to release yet. Hope you can stay warm and well until the spring is fully upon us!

What a difference that makes!
ah I’m so happy I could bring you these words Kolina! May you have many happy winters to enjoy ahead 💚
We are in tune this morning, Sarah! I’ve just left a comment on your post 😀
Lauren Barber will be with you on the cacao. I bought a ceremonial batch recently and think I overdid it a little 😅💛
Ahh it's nice to be in tune! Very affirming 😀

Yes! It can be potent 🤩
Oh this makes me want to embrace this last bit of winter and drink more hot cocoa!!!! X
Enjoy all the hot cocoa and cozy sweaters and fuzzy socks!
Right? 100% savouring the last of winter here. Ready for lighter days but not for putting my cosy socks away!

I’m not quite ready to leave behind the stillness either! But spring always does bring a smile to my face.

Absolutely agree!

Nadja! I am so pleased to hear this. Enjoy the last moments of winter and rest before spring arrives in full force!
Right here with you, savouring that stillness ✨
What a beautiful post! Thanks so much for sharing.
I enjoy connecting and collaborating with lovely writers so there will be a lot more where this came from! Thanks for reading, Jo 😃
Thank you for reading mine and Sarah's words! I think her new series is going to be lovely. ✨
I love the final line about gathering up energy for springtime blossoming. Such a lovely metaphor!
Thank you, Holly! It's something I need to consistently remind myself of!
Yes, Kolina is such a beautiful, lyrical writer! I’m so pleased we connected.
I am so pleased we connected, too! 🫶🏽
