(Also a time to give offerings to female deities you work with.) Day 2 - December 21st - Winter Solstice : The darkest night of the year. Embrace stillness & reflect on the past year - what did you learn & experience? Find gratitude in all situations - honor the cycles of the earth. Release the old & welcome in new energy. (Ideal for journaling - write down what you learned, releasing & your wishes going forward, finding light in the dark.)

Make space for abundance & prosperity to enter your home, life & energy. Day 4 - December 23rd - Gather : Come together with family & friends. Celebrate the season by connecting.

This day is also for divination & honoring ancestors & spirits who roam the earth on the longest nights. You are invited to leave offerings, light candles or create charms & crafts. Day 6 - December 25th - Community & Joy : Focus on giving, compassion & spreading joy/cheer - within your community, or with family/friends. Reach out to those you love & share kindness.

Finally some good news: a few weeks ago, anti-transgender activists offered $35,000 to the next National Women’s Soccer League player who criticized trans athletes... except the league overwhelmingly supports trans inclusion and no one took her up on the offer. Very few trans athletes play professional sports, and there has never been a trans woman in the NWSL. Stand your ground!
