Welcome 2012! The new year brings us a chance to reinvent ourselves, to get back on our neglected horses or find new steeds altogether, to forge a different path or set our feet back on a trail we had strayed away from in our busy lives. We have an opportunity in the early days of a newly minted year to look at our undertakings with fresh eyes and decide what works for us, what has ceased to be useful and what new frontiers we would like to explore.
It is at this crossroad between old and new that I now sit. Rooted in Traditions sprang up new and not yet fully formed in 2011, grown from my passion for traditions and my fervent belief that, in spite of all the access & options our technology-packed lives offer us, we are missing a vital connection to the things that really matter. Rituals, ceremonies, collective memories and links to the year bind us together as people; those traditions that spark fond recollections in us as the clock speeds by unite us to all the ancestors who went before us & all who will come after us.
This year, I am rededicating myself to greater dissemination of those traditions: ideas, historical trivia, videos and easy-to-implement rituals that you can adapt for your own family. I look forward to hearing about your family traditions & memories that you carry through your life.
