First Day of Christmas: Fortitude

 What is being born or coming to light for me?

8-Fortitude-Tiger Eye

 

In the coming year, I will come into my own personal power.  There are just some things one has to do for oneself, and this is the year for me to strike out on my own and take care of myself by myself.  It’s taken me a long time to get to this point--to really feel like I am ready to try to make it on my own.  I don’t know if I’ll succeed, or even if it’s really what I want to do, but at least now I feel like it’s a viable option for me. 

 

Just as there is beauty in the bold and shining stripes of the tiger eye, there is a certain beauty in a bold and independent person standing on her own two feet.  I’ve got the eye of the tiger!  Hear me roar!

 

The theme for December 26:

 

Second Day, December 26, Giving Day (Charity).  This is the feast of Stephen, when Good King Wenceslas helped the poor man.  Stephen was a deacon of the early Church tasked with helping the poor, as well as the first Christian to give his life for his faith.  In Britain, this is also Boxing Day, a day to give gifts to the poor and to service people.  What gift do I have to give?

 

I'll post my reading on this tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!
