“Where Winter Begins Inside”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Winter doesn’t ask you to be strong, only honest.”

The first days of December nudge us inward.
Not to hide… but to see.
To notice what’s tender, what’s tired, what’s ready for change.
You don’t have to reinvent your life today, just listen.
Winter is the season where the soul whispers truths we rushed past all year.

Let the quiet teach you. Let the slower pace feel sacred instead of sad. You’re allowed to rest into yourself. You’re allowed to let the light return slowly.

When the season cools,
the spirit warms,
truth rises
on its own time.

Gentle practice:
Step outside for one minute. (Barefoot if you can)
Notice the air on your skin.
Let it reset your nervous system.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, we’ll explore how sadness can become strength, not heaviness.

  1. This is stunning — soft, meditative, and deeply human. Your reflection captures winter not as a season of harshness, but as a teacher of truth, honesty, and inner warmth. The way you frame stillness as sacred rather than sorrowful is profoundly comforting. Each line feels like a gentle hand on the shoulder, inviting us to slow down, breathe, and listen to the soul’s quieter wisdom.

      • You’re absolutely right — winter carries its own kind of wisdom. ❄️✨
        The quiet, the stillness, the way everything slows down… it brings emotions to the surface that we often overlook in busier seasons. And yes, age makes those subtleties clearer — we begin to feel winter rather than just see it.
