It's a solo episode this week as I share reflections on a recent trip to the Arctic!  It's my second trip to Northern Norway but this time in mid-winter, when the landscape is covered in ice and snow.  It's just as raw and rugged and awe-inducing as summer, but perhaps a bit more magical in the frosty glow.While there, I visited a Sami reindeer camp, where we could interact with the animals and learn about the Sami culture.  It's quite the thing when you're in the same room with an indigenous person explaining his/her culture and sharing it with such authenticity, joy and yes, contentment.  Because when you rely on the land and Mother Nature for survival, when you exist as one with your environment, only taking what you need, it instills a deep sense of calm, peace and trust.For me, I took away this reminder of channelling more contentment in life - be grateful for what you have and let go of the attachment to wanting more.  Because if everyone stopped feeling separate and behaved as part of a (global) collective, then maybe there would be no more wars?
