Dreading January?


Me too, Reader.

There are so many reasons to dread the month that starts every new year.

It’s cold (in the northern hemisphere).

It’s reminding you that the holiday season is over (goodbye to all that connection and warmth, hello to that old, familiar grind).

It’s full of promise and hope and possibility (and the anxieties that come with that).

And everywhere you go, you hear the demands that you choose something about yourself to work on or leave behind.

Granted, so much of this is rooted in a desire to harness the energy of newness and use it for something good. But, unfortunately, in a world that benefits from you never feeling like you’re good enough, this well-intentioned practice is one that harms more than it helps.

So let’s create a practice that runs counter to that. A practice that is supportive, rejuvenating, and helps you embrace how valuable you are... just the way you are.

Join me for Love Notes for a New Year and practice being gentle and in partnership with yourself.

In love, liberation, and solidarity,


Sent with big fat love from a messy desk and a neurodivergent mind.
