Great post Rania. Yes I tend to follow the Wheel of the Year, celebrating each of the eight festivals with nature in some way...in fact I posted my first post on Substack at Imbolc, as I see this as the start of a new year...a time of renewal and new beginnings. It feels like The Wheel is far more in tune with natures cycle than the dates set meteorologically or through the church calendar. Ostara blessings to you 😊

Ostara blessings to you too ✨️ and I couldn't agree more, the modern calendar makes little sense to me... a new year in the middle of winter? Nope, not for me! Following the wheel and nature's cycle is how I want to lead my life 😊

Rania, I really enjoyed this post. Thank you for it. You reminded me of the importance of staying connected to what is around us and to nature. It is so easy to become lost or distracted by other things - but the connections and awareness you speak of are very important. Thank you again for the wonderful reminder and conversation.

I'm glad you liked it Tom, thank you! I think our world is now designed for us to be distracted. Someone that does not live with nature doesn't care for it, and is thus partaking more in consumerism, likely unconsciously but... yeah. So I agree, it is very important to remember and stay in tune with ✨️

One of my favourite days, new year should start on the day of spring equinox instead of January 1st :)
