Really lovely reading about your festive period, the cake looked incredible! Also really resonated with what you shared about the winter months, I struggle with the cold and to warm up, but I'm lapping up the permission to rest that this season brings. Excited to see how everything evolves for you this year ❤️

Thank you so much Jodie, the rest and hunkering down is so joyful! But it would be nice if I didn’t feel the cold quite so intensively! I’ve been collecting more thermal wear to keep myself warm but am still yet to find the perfect socks! Ha! Grateful for your support. Xx

Wonderful! I’m sure so many people will benefit from the Balm.

My word last year was devotion. I loved it so much that I had it made into a necklace! It’s such a beautiful anchor.

I love how you describe the 'magic of slow dark mornings with nowhere to be.' In our fast-paced world, it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget the beauty of stillness. Your words remind me to embrace the slower pace of winter and find joy in the simple things – like cacao and candles, cozy fires, and walks in nature. It's a gentle nudge to prioritize rest and recharge, and I'm grateful for that reminder.

I am so happy to hear that it reminded you at a time you needed it. 'The beauty of stillness' is such a rich medicine. Thank you for these reflections and I hope you get to embrace it all a little as the remaining weeks of winter unfold. x
