Today we celebrated the Winter Solstice, a holiday that honors rebirth and the return of daylight. Last year we were able to attend a drum circle and ceremony honoring the solstice. I loved watching the kids beat the drums or use the other acoustics to add to the music and rhythm of the night. Rowan was 7 months at the time and loved to hit the drum! As I recall, she was always a boxer, never a kicker when she was in the womb. Tris was just wiggly.
My favorite part of the ceremony was when we each (everyone there) got to come up and light a candle and say what they wanted to honor or bring more of into their lives for the coming year. People said things like laughter, love, and happiness. Some were more creative. Then the candle was placed in a big bowl of sand in the center of the room. When we had all had a turn, the room was lit!
Rowan ate:
pineapple
banana
LOTS of cherry tomatoes, munched all day
cucumber pieces
carrot slivers
green juice w/ banana, spirulina, handful of mixed greens
almond milk
celery
