The December energy

As December is eating away the last weeks of the year, I’m wondering if I can already look back at this year with a smile or that there is still some work to do before the year ends. 

It has been quite busy with new courses and students and I haven't taken any break.

I guess I’m between following the cycle of life and the Western working ethics. Balance. 

I’m excited for the cozy gatherings that are coming with friends and my family back in the Netherlands and I feel that I’m ready to close this year slowly, like the leaves that are falling from the trees here in Mallorca.

Every season has its own energy, and now we have arrived in the month where we can slow down. So it’s a matter of knowing when you have done enough, and be able to surrender to the beauty of the winter that is coming. 

Pause, breath, reflect on the year with pride and slowly make a plan for next year. But before the new year starts, enjoy a bit of your free time, quality time with your loved ones and have a little break!
