So Much Joy

And a some sadness to end the year...

Friends

I had planned to finish the year with the story of how the fella and I met but the silly season wrapped us up in a whirl of sudden travel and busyness as it does to so many.

We lost a dear friend yesterday morning and so we jumped in the car to be with his partner for the night. As anyone who has experienced loss and grief would understand, this time of year can be so tricky emotionally as everyone begins to wind down from the year and start to relax with family and friends. Wandering through grief at any time is heart breaking - I lost my own mum at Christmas over 30 years ago - but it just feels more tender in December. If this is you, I am sending so much love and courage your way or if you know of someone navigating these big feelings PLEASE reach into them - even if you think they’re ok. Sometimes, we just are not.

We are having a quiet Christmas this year with the fella’s mum and his brother. Both my boys are away - Issey is in Japan and Guy is surfing in Morocco - and we are catching up with his girls and the grandkids soon after (I am really looking forward to that).

I am already starting to plan some exciting things for 2026 as I’ll be turning 60 (omg how did that happen) and of course, you’ll be invited to join in on some of them. I love the amazing global goddess community we’ve created together and it brings me so much joy to meet some of you in the flesh!

I’ll be back in your inbox before 2026 rolls in but in the meantime take care of your heart, be kind to yourself and others, laugh, eat, frolic, rest - repeat!

As always thank YOU for being here, for all your support and a reminder that I never take your presence for granted in my little corner of the interwebs.

Big love

ps. If you want to come and help me celebrate my 60th year I have ONE space left in a twin share room to come to magical Bhutan. It’s a once in a lifetime journey to the Land of the Thunder Dragon that will change you and amaze you in so many ways. It’s for YOU my friend!
