Since I am a single woman, my tradition is to do a midnight candlelit vigil meditating on the birth of the baby Jesus and what that means in my life and to the world. Last year, I completed the vigil at 2 am. I find this tradition very centering.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anaïs Nin
