Gorgeous Soul,

December stepped in this morning with its quiet frost and instinctive hush, yet everywhere I turn, I’m met with a blizzard of flashing ads, shrill notifications, glossy promotions, and digital cajoling. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Limited Offer. Last Chance.

The whole spectacle feels like an overcaffeinated carnival shouting into the marrow of my bones. I value prudence with money — of course — but this frantic devotion to “stuff-for-the-sake-of-stuff” makes my spirit recoil.

The clangour, the manufactured urgency, the relentless chorus of Buy now, buy fast, buy more — set against the trembling state of the world — feels entirely counter to the soul of this season.

You feel it too, don’t you?

That subtle trembling of your nervous system whispering, enough — enough scrolling, enough grasping, enough noise.

In these past weeks, I found myself caught in the undertow of “shoulds.” The invisible insistence to acquire, prepare, produce, impress. It felt like standing in a wind tunnel of expectations that were never mine to begin with.

Thus, through our family’s “birthday season” — that lively stretch from September to now — I decided to refuse the rote ritual of obligatory gifts. Instead, we crafted experiences together. One for each of the horde.

A dazzling West End London show — When God Was a Scottish Drag Queen — that left us breathless with laughter.
A decadent spa afternoon where we soaked our feet while seals tumbled through silvered waves.
A wildfire-fun improv night with two SNL greats that left us gasping.
A pottery session where clay-flecked hands shaped mugs and memories.
And this weekend — a family Celtic knot tattoo, ink looping our stories into skin.

This, to me, is the marrow of the season — a call toward slowness, toward gentleness, toward presence.

Yet everywhere around us the world hollers, “Hurry!”

With Winter Solstice drifting near, we stand at the cusp of the year’s deepest darkness — a liminal passage asking us to rest, rekindle our inner ember, and reacquaint ourselves with the softer rooms of our own being.

But here’s the quiet truth: most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were conditioned to barrel through winter. To dismiss the fatigue. To keep producing, performing, persevering. To pretend we’re fine even when our inner world is begging for a moment of stillness.

But our spirits yearn for something else — something tender, unhurried, unadorned.

Which is why Omen Days will return this year. (More on that next week.) The Omen Days offer a gentle, deep, restorative way for closing the year with grace, intention, and a glimpse into what 2026 is weaving.

And yes — I’ll be hosting a Solstice gathering to help us cross the threshold of the longest night with reverence and warmth.

On December 4th, we welcome the luminous Cold Moon.

This moon arrives like a lantern in the frost — aligned with Yuletide, humming with old magic.

Its teaching is ancient: rest, renewal, the quiet promise of beginnings wrapped inside endings. It marks the culmination of our journey around the sun, encouraging us to pause, to breathe, to soften.

It may feel counterintuitive to slow down when the world is screaming for speed, but remember: your worth has never lived inside your productivity.

Let the Cold Moon be your invitation to hibernate a little — to occupy your moments with presence, delight, and the small things that make your heart glow.

This is a season thick with transformation, inner excavation, and the sacred alchemy of becoming. A time to recharge, reconnect, and return to yourself and the ones you love.

Do you see how beautifully it all interlaces?

You are not separate from the seasons.

You are the season — unfolding, deepening, shifting — just as nature does.

So I am so tickled to see new guides wanting to come and chat with you this week.  These gorgeous guides invite you to find out  –What your soul wants you to know.

Okay my darling one, take a breath.  Envision you are standing out in the dark, the brisk cold wind hits your cheeks and you light a candle.  The flame flickers and dances with the night sky behind it.  As you gaze at the flame, take a breath and allow yourself to rest and relax.  Listen to the whispers of your Soul.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make your Soul tickle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what your Soul wants to share with you……

SIMPLICITY

Do what matters; and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness.  

Clear all the internal and external clutter!

Your soul wants you to know, one of the fastest ways to align with the tranquil vibration of the Creator/Creatrix/Divine – whatever name you use – is through simplicity.

A busy life and the accumulation of more than you need creates static; it can be difficult to hear the voice of Spirit when there’s mental chaos in your life.

Create time to rest and rejuvenate.  Clear the clutter in your home, the files in your computer, and the drawers at work.  (And I can see you rolling your eyes!)

Even a small amount of this cleansing can make an immense difference.

Create a feeling of simplicity, and know the grace of the Divine.

Repeat to yourself:  Deep, Profound Serenity is Expanding in My Life.  

PASSION

Follow your bliss!  (Yeah I know you have heard that before, but……. It’s true).

Discover what you absolutely love to do or be, and then, like an arrow directed at its target, don’t let anything stop you from fulfilling your passion!

Your soul wants you to know – If you’re having difficulty discovering what you’re passionate about, go back into your childhood and remember what gave you joy then.

If you loved to dance as a child, sign up for a movement class.  Better yet, put on music and dance your soxs off in the living room to your Soul’s delight.  

If you adored crayons, pull out those colours and splash their bright hues from one side of the page to the other.

If you enjoyed observing insects in your backyard, maybe sign up for a nature study course.

Once you are clear on what you are passionate about, do whatever it takes to follow that – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Many people declare that they will follow their bliss when they retire or have extra time, and consequently they never experience the absolute exuberance of life.

If not now when?  Live your life with passion! What are you waiting for?

Repeat to yourself:  I passionately accept and love myself!

SILENCE

Can you be still and take the time to move into the silent place within yourself?  That place which is your internal power source?

Your soul wants you to know – The world is super loud and often at the end of the day you flop into bed with all sorts swimming in your head.  In silence you’ll find your sacred witness.  It’s the dwelling place of your Soul.  

Your Spirit loves the truth, and in peace you can seek and discover your truth.

If you are in pain, go into it until you find the source so it can be healed. Move past the bustle and chatter of life into sweet quietude, and surrender to stillness.  Resist the temptation to indulge in feelings of overwhelm, urgency, and emergency.

Your power is born in silence.

Seek solitude to listen to the voice of  your higher self and awaken your inner wisdom; this peace gives birth to your serenity.

Repeat to yourself – I am Serene, No Matter what is occurring around me.

Gorgeous one, allow yourself to move a bit more gently with yourself.  Keep your eyes peeled for The Omen Days, you will love it and the Solstice gathering.  Sending you massive hugs and warm soxs and tea!
