Well friends, it’s moving towards mid-December. A few months ago, I was walking the old city walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia - it seems like a lifetime ago! I love looking back on my pics to remind myself of how good it feels to travel, make new connections, and put myself into new and interesting situations.
While we may not be comfortable in these situations, they are good for growth.
Whether you take great joy in the holidays or you dread them (or anything in-between), this month can be a big one.
It’s amplified by the ‘busy’ nature of the season. It’s amplified by the fact that, here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are in the darkest times of the year, when our bodies crave rest, replenishment, and quiet-time.
And we give it anything but that.
There are relationships with family to navigate. Relationships with self, with money, and more.
So – my question to you is – what space do you need to give yourself, to be at your most calm, your most centered, and your favourite version of yourself?
What do you need to say ‘no’ to, in order to say ‘yes’ to what you need right now?
I’ll be honest, I’m navigating some big stuff with my immediate family right now. I’m being called to use ALL my tools, my awareness, and my wisdom to be centered and grounded in the ways that I provide support for others, as well as the ways that I need support.
Here are some of the questions I’m asking myself and some of the tools I have at my disposal. Maybe they’ll help you, too.
-
What do I need, right now, to feel aligned, grounded, and peaceful?
- Nap
- Walk outside
- Meditation
- Move my body
- Spiritual practice/support
- Journaling
- Pull a few oracle cards/tarot card for guidance
-
With an oracle deck or other divination tool, ask one of the following questions:
- What do I need to know about this situation to honour a highest outcome for all?
- What am I not seeing about this situation that needs to be brought forward/considered?
- What is my next best action around this situation?
- Who else is a support in this situation and how can they help?
- In addition to the supports and tools I have in place: counsellor/therapist, close friends/partner, spiritual practice/community etc. what else is available to me to navigate this situation? What untapped resources are available?
Save this email for those times when you feel lost or at your wit’s end. There may just be something here that gives you that little nudge or bump you need.Lorem Ipsum etc
Saying Goodbye and Welcoming 2025
Two events for your year-end process
On a completely different note, I missed sending my Love Letter out last week – it was a BIG week energy-wise, because I was invited to participate in the NOA|AON System Reset experience here in Victoria.
I’ll write a more detailed blog post about the experience - but it was a long day, where I was at the event venue from 2 pm to 9:30 pm, providing music, voice, and energetic support to the event. I had a LOT of fun and it was so great to exercise my vocal skills in a different way from my most recent Mozart Requiem performance in November.
And speaking of events, I have two upcoming events – one online and one in-person, that you may be interested in participating in.
Online Workshop for 2024-25
And, if you want to have a special way to wrap up 2024 and prepare for 2025, I’m delighted to be a part of The F.I.T. Life Method® New Year Release + Renew Event. This event is happening online, from 11 am to 1:30 pm on New Year’s Eve (Pacific Time)
Here’s a bit more about the event:
What if you shifted your focus away from “resolutions” and instead embraced a more intentional approach to the New Year?
The start of a new year is a perfect time to reflect, clear what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your true vision for the year ahead. Whether it’s your life, business, or personal growth, let’s step into 2025 with clarity and confidence!
The event is $47 early bird rate until December 28th, when the price increases.
I have worked with Andrea (her Dad was my high-school Chemistry teacher!), and her co-facilitators at a variety of in-person and online events. They are beautifully run, mindful and meaningful experiences. I’ll send a more detailed email later this week/early next week with registration information!
I’m taking time away from being IN my business from December 22 to January 1st. And I’ll be working ON my biz, doing planning for 2025, as well as a healthy review of 2024 before the end of the year.
Victoria BC
My last in-person event of the year here in Victoria, is my Sunday Night Soundscape and Full Moon Ceremony, happening in my home.
This event is limited to just 10 participants, and as of writing this email, I have 4 places remaining.
I’m still offering sliding scale prices, and I have 1 place left at $40, and 3 at $50.

Thank you for being here and looking forward to the next time our paths cross!
