Hello loves,

Here we are freshly into 2024 and now that I am back on my feet it's time for a quick catch up after the festive season. Firstly, that last bit of retrograde was a challenge but thankfully it is all over and now we are left with some pieces that are healing and room for new downloads. If you're sleeping has been off this last week and your dreams more bizarre than normal it's just your energy rebalancing and taking on board what it needs for the next steps this year.

Speaking of this year... we have a big one ahead of us. This year is filled with deep and profound energies that can fundamentally change your inner narrative in ways that are exciting and up lifting. This is a year for deep, personal evolution. This is the year to take the next step. This is the year where you truly let go, where you truly let light in and where you can once and for all make a change to structure of your entire energy. Although the energy is primarily focussed inward as we all know what happens within happens around you too. If you haven't already I would strongly urge you to keep a jounral for this year because it will be filled with insights. Stay open and some deep personal change can manifest.

In light if this, each year I chose a word, a theme that helps me to mentally align myself with what I am trying to achieve or embody that year. I use singular words a lot. Not just affirmations but as expressions of energy that I want to be in community with. These words represent the core desired feelings that I want to create from. I've done this throughout my life and even in how I have decorated my home. My living room is designed around the word “Nest” because that's how I want it to feel. The art work, the curtains, the trinkets all have a bird theme to curate that feeling of home and un abandoned relaxation. My kitchen is “Creation”, my music room “Light”, my art room “Temple” and my readings room is designed around the word “Invitation”. These words inspire feelings in me that I manifest with and it's been working for a while. This year, the word for how I choose to feel about my life is “Delight”. It's a year I want to make the most of. I want to take in from the universe and have it completely and perfectly align with my energy. I want to delight at every part of life I am lucky to be aware of. I am eager to see how this word will serve me. What's your word?

Also, whilst you're all fired up and manifesting and going for your goals right now I just want to remind you to take it gently. Go slowly. Lead with self care. Lead with love. Give yourself space to figure out what you need as and when you need it. Life is not a race. Breathe. Become the energy of the person who has what you are creating and live it for a while. Let it infuse you, be delighted by it. Take your time. Savour. We have a brand new year ahead of us all ready for us to explore. Explore the idea of possibility. Explore your potential, your purpose, your intention. Let them all align with each other and enjoy. There's no rush. Choose your goal, pick a habit that will help you get there and then focus on the habit. Keep it simple.

Have a great 2024

Big love
