Patience in motion, the light within you, and the ebbs and flows.



MONTHLY REMINDER

Reader, patience is a form of action.

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What am I preparing to receive?
  • How will I make space for what's to come?
  • When I get what I want, how will I make sure I savour, nurture and maintain it?

DECEMBER'S REFLECTION PROMPT

In December, I will honour the last 12 months by...

Whatever 2024 has signified for you, it's all part of the journey. Some dots may have connected (or not). Some anomalies may have popped up. The year may have produced some questions; it may have answered some. You made it. Keep going. How will you choose to say goodbye to 2024? What will you take with you? What will you leave behind?


2 QUOTES WORTH PONDERING

1. Poet, Rumi on the illumination we seek:

"If everything around seems dark, look again; you may be the light."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • When did I shine brightest this year?
  • Who or what has been a lighthouse for me?
  • How will I share my light in the next 12 months?

2. Poet Emily Dickinson on life's waves:

"I wish you a kinder sea."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What conditions am I currently in?
  • What has my sea offered me this year (e.g. cleansing, challenge, anointing etc.)?
  • This year, what's ebbed? This year, what's flowed?
  • When have I moved with the current? When have I moved against it?
  • How have I stayed afloat?

MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, the bad news is: there are an astonishing amount of things completely out of our control; the good news is: there are an astonishing amount of things completely within our control. The bad news: there are countless things beyond our grasp — other people’s choices, life’s sudden turns, the weather of fate itself. The good news: there are just as many things we do hold in our hands — our responses, our rituals, our breath, our way of telling our story. Freedom lives in...

MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, your body is not an inconvenience — it is a compass. Rest. Listen to your body’s wisdom. It is not betraying you — it is beckoning you. Calling you back to care. To movement, to stillness, to being held. To tenderness and ease. You don’t have to prove your strength every single day. You can honour the softness. REFLECTION PROMPTS: What is my body trying to tell me today — and how can I respond with care rather than correction? Where in my life have I confused...

MONTHLY REMINDER Reader, you don’t need a sign—you are the signal. There is power in choosing yourself, in declaring the reset, in deciding this is the moment. Let July be the permission slip you write with your own hand to begin again, to course-correct. Mid-year is not too late, too far gone, or too messy. It’s a doorway. Step through as many times as you need. REFLECTION PROMPTS: Where in my life do I crave a fresh beginning, no permission required? What would I do differently if I truly...
