Today marks the winter solstice, a natural pause and turning point. As a small gift to this community, I’m sharing the Keep Showing Up short e-book I’ve been working on with the help of a close friend of ours. It brings together simple ideas on consistency, momentum, and showing up for yourself in small, steady ways that truly change a life. I hope you enjoy reading.

Today is a light leg strength session. Nothing heavy or complicated. Just simple movement to build a bit more strength in the legs so everyday things like errands, walking, and getting around feel easier and more confident. Move gently, stay present, and let the strength build over time.

Today we’re moving under a bridge. The weather is challenging, but that doesn’t mean we stop showing up. This is a short and sweet session to build a bit of strength and mobility and keep the habit alive. Move today, boost your mood, and feel vibrant in your beautiful body. Consistency matters.

The Winter Solstice, arriving on December 21, marks the longest night of the year—and with it, a powerful spiritual threshold. This is not simply a time of darkness, but a sacred pause: a moment to rest, reflect, and gently release what belongs to the closing year. The stillness of the solstice invites us inward, reminding us that endings are not failures, but necessary compost for renewal. Ancient cultures understood this well. The Celts called this moment Alban Arthan—the Light of Arthur—celebrating not the absence of light, but its return from the underworld. They knew what we sometimes forget: you can’t fully appreciate dawn until you’ve sat patiently with midnight. Darkness, far from being empty, is fertile ground where insight, resilience, and new life quietly take shape. The solstice marks a turning point. From here on, the days begin to lengthen, symbolizing rebirth, fresh perspective, and the slow but steady return of hope. It’s an ideal time for closure—laying down heavy burdens, releasing outdated stories, and setting simple, heartfelt intentions for what you’d like to grow next. Candlelight, fire rituals, or quiet reflection all honor this ancient rhythm of release and renewal. Above all, the Winter Solstice reminds us to slow down and listen inwardly. Let it be a gentle reset. Even in the deepest dark, the promise of light is already present—and the seeds of new ideas, dreams, and directions are quietly forming, ready for their time to rise.

Hi Drew, I would like to say I really appreciate what you do, most mornings I wake up stiff and slightly low mood, but once I have done one of you 10 min movement sessions I am feeling more flexible and smiling. So Thank you and please do not give up what you do, I am sure you bring happiness too many.
