Wishing you gentleness in this peak season of solstice/holidays/rushing to complete everything. Here’s a reminder that you don’t need to sort out your whole life before Christmas or 31 Dec. Or plan your whole year ahead in one day.
It’s ok to rest, to not know what to do next, to make plans and change them, to have small dreams, to take a step forward only to circle back.
I’ve been celebrating this month with intuitive rituals - simple traditions that I repeat over the year that help me feel grounded and connected to my place.
This has included carols by the lake, an end of year art show featuring mushrooms, poems and baked treats for Sinterklaas, filling jars with honey and mulberry jam from our garden, hand delivering gifts to teachers/neighbours/friends, and taking the time to mark next year’s calendar with birthdays, holidays and the moon phases.
I’m taking a pause from 24 Dec to 6 Jan. I’ll also turn off online bookings throughout January, to keep my availability flexible. Please text or email me if you need an appointment.
Until next month, may your days blur into one another. May you move slowly like golden honey. May you be kind yourself. May you linger with the sunrise and sunset, and marvel at the moon and stars on balmy evenings.
Much love,
Emily
