November’s first snowfall falls gently and softly outside my studio window. Like a small child, I am excited by the white stuff and anticipating winter’s activities and blessings. Oh, by March I will be weary of the snow and ready for spring, which is extremely fickle in the Sierras and sometimes does not come until late May, but today I am energized. I even pulled out the winter sweaters! This weekend we will dig out the hefty snow blower and unearth the snow shovels.

Watching the snow fall, I am reminded of winter’s blessings–the opportunity for growth and rebirth in the spring. Real transformation needs the darkness as much as the light, for it is in the darkness that the seeds of rebirth germinate and emerge with the light. Now is the perfect time of year to begin following The Way, my recent novel. By investing your energy into yourself, you will begin the real work of the soul and a transformation will take place in the depths of your being. http://supernovel.com/The_Way.htm

And for me, today I am intoxicated with the wonder of the snow and the possibilities that await me.
