The most challenging year of my life 💞

It was never meant to be easy all of the time

Hello friends,

I'm sat across from my beautiful cousin as we catch up on some end-of-year bits before an afternoon by the ocean.

Aussie bird-sound is crackling outside and I can see a mango tree out the window. 

We delighted in prawns and strawberries for dinner last night before sitting down to do a Solstice tarot spread.

I'm sleepy and jet lagged, but glad to be home.

For me, 2023 was... interesting 😝

This will easily go down as the most challenging year of my life yet (followed closely by 2013 then 2003… noticing a pattern!) and I am soooo ready to close this one out.

But you know… I’m really proud of myself.

I faced some hard truths this year, made some very big decisions and have felt my relentless commitment to loving life unconditionally, even when it’s dark AF and doing an absolute number on me.

My word(s) for 2023 were ‘trust and let go’ and as final days of December draw in I feel their magic swirling and transforming all around.

I hope that no matter what you’ve experienced this year, great times or hard times or both, that you too can feel proud of Who You Are and Who You Are Becoming.

It was never meant to be easy all of the time.

And so I send much love and gentleness to the parts of you that felt worn down by this year.

Equally, I send joy and celebration to the parts that kept laughing in the chaos, kept choosing to be here, to be present, to co-create, to be alive.

You did it. We did it!

I am wishing you a deeply restorative, playful, loving and all-round-fab end to your spin around the sun.

Tell me in the comments: how was 2023 for you? What are you calling in for a new year ahead?

Big, big, biggest love,
