It’s cold and rainy and unmotivating, and the lights put up a fight, but we got the Christmas tree put up. Yule decorations to follow soon.

I love having a cat. He reminds me to find the bliss in stillness but still stretch occasionally and demand food at 7:00 p.m.

I pulled the Death Tarot card for my energy of the week. It was a sledgehammer message from the Universe saying, “Girl, you’re sliding into burnout. Let go and simplify.” Easier said than done, my spooky friend. #tarot #deathcard #letitgo #burnout #hauntedcatstarot

I aspire to this level of contentment.
Also, I’m so honored to have the love and trust of this adorable ten-pound tyrant.

It’s a gorgeous, blustery, rainy day, perfect for writing, reading, and kitchen witching in my pajamas.

Have I mentioned that I’m writing a book on writing that’s based on psychological principles and brings in a little bit of magic? I’m dripping it out on Substack.

1. Wound that needs healing
2. How to tend
3. How to grow beyond

Anyone else watch the Kentucky Derby? The result wasn’t a shocker. Everyone knows that Journalism only wins over Sovereignty in the movies.

Today’s #writing career direction #tarot card:
3 of Beetles (Pentacles) Reversed - “It’s time to begin again and choose a path or project that can hold your attention.”
This is timely because I’ve been struggling with whether to start a book project over because my #ADHD brain has lost interest.

I agree! This is also what I tell my writing students. Plus, you never know what can be repurposed into a newsletter, lead magnet, etc.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 96: Nothing you write is ever wasted. It’s all part of your training. That’s why you should never feel bad about the work you cut, or the hours you spend on work that stays unpublished. Every part of the process makes you a stronger writer.

Thank you! Yes, I finally made the leap.

#thatawkwardmoment when you pull a card for “What will nourish my spirit?” & get XIII Death.
The #Tarot Death card isn’t necessarily negative. It’s a reminder to let go of what no longer serves - even if it’s hard - and trust in the process of transformation & renewal.
