Sometimes the most honest thing to do is stand still.

This short reflection is about letting go of fear-based momentum, resting on bare ground, and allowing meaning to emerge in its own time.

January 1 is a loud day.

Everywhere we’re told to change, fix, decide, and reinvent ourselves — often before we’ve even had a chance to arrive.

In this reflection episode, Beck offers a quieter invitation.

This is not about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering what’s already true.

Drawing on the ancient story of Persephone and the wisdom of seasonal living, this episode reframes the beginning of the year as a time for honesty, alignment, and permission — not pressure. Winter, after all, was never meant for blooming.

If you’re feeling tired, unsure, or inward as the year begins, this episode is a place to rest, re-orient, and listen.

This is New Year, True You — a gentle crossing into the year from within.

This Christmas blessing is a quiet pause in the midst of the season's noise - a moment to breath, reflect, and rest in what is already held for you.

In this short bonus Beck & Liv offer a spoken blessing for peace, provision, protection & presence. It is an invitation to release what has been heavy this year, to receive what is true, and to remember that you are not behind, forgotten or alone.

Whether you listen on Christmas Day or sometime after, may these words meet you exactly where you are and remind you that light is still being born - gently, faithfully, and right on time.

Merry Christmas from 287 West.

You are deeply loved.
