Hello, everyone!
Let’s open Door Number 21…
Let’s open Door Number 21…
Today is the winter solstice — the shortest day, the longest night, and the quiet turning point of the year. From tomorrow, the light begins its slow return.
The Solstice Promise
In the middle of December’s rush, the earth itself pauses and whispers:
“The dark will not last forever.
The light is already on its way back.”
No task today.
No making, no doing.
Just a gentle invitation to mark the moment.
No making, no doing.
Just a gentle invitation to mark the moment.
If you can:
- Step outside tonight (even for a minute) and feel the cold, dark air.
- Light one extra candle and watch it hold its own against the night.
- Sit in the dark for a little while on purpose—no phone, no lights—and listen to the quiet.
- Whisper Thank you to the year that’s ending, and hello to the light that’s coming.
This is the deepest breath of winter.
Everything we’ve been waiting for starts here.
I’ll be lighting my solstice candle at sunset, wrapping myself in a blanket, and sitting in the dark until it feels like enough.
Then I’ll smile, because tomorrow there will be one more minute of light.

Your turn. Leave a comment if you are marking the solstice in your own way today. That’s all.
See you tomorrow for Door 22…
