Jen Newton Shines A Light

It's hard to imagine not being changed by 2020; no soul i know escaping this formidable year unscathed. Everywhere, indelible marks of a year that stands out inordinately from the ever-speeding blur of time.
It had been written in the stars that 2020 was a year destined to be powerfully transformative, a mark in our timelines where things changed. Global upheaval, inclined to challenge us in extreme ways. The end of one cycle, the beginning of the next. Sounds right.
No big idea, best intention or grand plan untouched, we’ve been left to see ourselves. Come face-to-face with our resiliency. Address our own reflections, within that tiny zoom window and beyond.
But while humans around world slingshot from one calamity to the next, the universe has been working at what it tends to: finding a kind of balance in the thing.
Forced apart, we found connection, an appreciation for each other and the lives we live together. At risk, we became accountable to our communities again, a commitment to care for our neighbours’ well-being alongside our own. Racing (surfing a tidal wave), we all slowed. Folded inward. Contemplated how we’d gotten there. Where we’re meant to go from here. Isolated, we’ve all met ourselves.
As we move into this next year and chapter, I’m choosing to be more intentional with my attention: a goal of more joy. Placing a greater focus on finding more goodness in the everyday. A new normal, made with more softness, more love, more gratitude and more flow.
With the season of giving, gifting and connecting upon us, the gifts the cannabis experience delivers seem a perfectly divine idea for us all to source more joy. While I’ve long secretly subscribed to a one-for-you, one-for-me kinda shopping spree, this year I’ll declare it boldly: more self love baby girl. We deserve it. Here are some of my favourite gift ideas for you, me and them - so we can all feel more joy this season. Peace and Love! x jen@hightea.life
