Let it go, babes ❄️
Salutations, peach!
How's it going?
Did you know it's Yule tomorrow? Yule is one of my absolute favourite solstices because it marks the return of the light. Some practitioners celebrate by staying awake to welcome the dawn (but I can never quite make it).
One of my favourite Yule traditions is to declutter my physical shit and release my emotional shit. Care to join me? Here are some ideas — pick what you like, scrap what you don't!
Declutter all your broken pens, leaving only the very best in your pen pot.
Go through your desk drawers and recycle any 'dead' notebooks to make room for the fresh ones waiting in your stocking.
Give your desk a deep clean, including your grimy keyboard, and cleanse with white sage or palo santo to finish.
Scour your bookshelf and declutter anything you won't read again. Pop a photo of the decluttered stack online and offer the tomes to your followers for the cost of postage!
Write a list of things that blocked your creativity or hindered your work satisfaction this year. Burn the finished list on the flame of a white candle and release yourself once and for all!
Make time for an emotionally cleansing tarot spread (this one is fab) and journal on your findings afterwards.
Write a list of what you'd like to embrace in your writing practice next year. Go through the list point by point and think about what unhelpful habits or practices you'll need to release to make space for that new goal.
Happy cleansing, folks! Catch you on the flippity flip ✌️

🔮 Freelance focus: balance with the Two of Pentacles
As we head into the new year, the Two of Pentacles reminds us to maintain balance.
That might mean setting a 2024 goal around balancing creative joy and well-paid work. It could also be a gentle reminder to bring your work-life balance back into equilibrium.
Try to make your writing goals an evolving target that flexes to suit changes in life and changes of heart rather than rigid rules made to force yourself into a new shape.
As the wise and wonderful Spice Girls once said: "Too much of something is bad enough" 🥲
