Between sightings of the aurora borealis, the solar eclipse , supermoons and plenty of other skyward phenomena, there was something spectacular in the sky to observe throughout 2024! It's apparent that 2025 has a strong start, too, with a planet parade just a few weeks into the new year. 🪐

A planet parade is when several of our solar system's planets are visible in the night sky at the same time, which include Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus (a telescope 🔭 will be needed to view the latter two as they are not visible with the naked eye). Formally beginning on January 21st, this planet parade will endure well into February, providing ample opportunity to view this celestial display. 🌌

With a change in administration occurring imminently in the USA, it seems there is a new energy influencing the world over. 🌎 Whether you are feeling a positive or negative shift since the November 5th election, the shift itself has most likely been an intense experience. While some have voiced concerns over the future direction of governance in the Western world, others have expressed the need for an upheaval of the way things have been run.

What are your thoughts? Will the new presidency catalyze positive change, or are we headed down a dark path? 🤔

What is one incremental change that you can implement today that will reap you massive rewards by the end of the year (if carried out faithfully)?

For some of us, our New Year's resolutions revolve around taking better care of our physical vessels, for it is the condition of our bodies that determines the quality of our experience and our impact in this lifetime (how much more spiritual can it get?). ✨ A major component of healthy bodies is healthy eating, and one of the best ways to ensure adequate nutrition is preparing our own meals using real, whole foods. 🥑🫘🥩

While homemade meals are borderline novelties in some nations (*cough cough* the West), cooking at home is as old as human civilization and is an art that mustn't be lost. Instead of reaching for your favorite premade boxed dinner or ordering from the nearest take-out, why not venture to prepare your own meal and surprise yourself with how enjoyable the process - and final product - can be? 🤌
