You weren’t expecting this in your inbox, but maybe it’s exactly what you needed today. Here’s “The Spark”…

​
Dear Reader,

Right now I’m watching a YouTube documentary on Andy Warhol, he’s one of my obsessions lol.

Like many “Aspies” I tend to develop obsessions and do deep dives on people and topics, as a matter of routine. It can be quite a “mistake” for a neurotypical when they inadvertently bring up a topic that is one of my “obsessions” 🙈 I’ve gotten better at not going on for hours, but oh it can be so hard when I’m excited, I do confess!

This is the first week of my “November reset” and I’m so glad I’ve taken this hiatus for myself. Today I’ve gone back into my garden, after several weeks of neglect.

Sadly, I think I have lost some plants (again). But I’m going to tend to them now and bring back what I can.

That’s the thing about setbacks Reader, it’s not if they will happen, but when.

Rewind to last August and one of my worst nights in recent months. My mother had hurt me deeply. Hormones were doing their thing. Shadow work had cracked me open. And all of it converged into one messy, overwhelming night where I reached for wine and food like they were life rafts.

I binged until I felt sick. Then sat there, devastated, convinced I’d ruined everything.

I thought I’d undone weeks of progress. That I’d self-sabotaged. That I was right back at square one.

As I sat there, in the silence, a refrain gently came forward… a setback isn’t a reset.

The next day, instead of punishing myself, I did something different. I hydrated. Made tea. Wrapped myself in gentleness instead of guilt. Tended to what needed tending.

And the progress I’d made? It was still there. Underneath the noise. Waiting for me to come back.

One hard day doesn’t erase your growth Reader. It just shows you where you still need support.

If your world feels heavy right now it can be easy to abandon the very rituals that keep us grounded. To skip the evening wind-down. To let the candles gather dust. To numb instead of nurture.

But creating moments of peace isn’t indulgence, it’s preservation.

It’s how you stay rooted when everything else feels shaky. It’s how you find your next step when the path ahead isn’t clear.

Luckily, this is where my newest offering “Illuminate Your Next Step” comes in.

For just $45 (save $34.95), you get my “5-Minute Evening Reset” ebook PLUS a 45-minute private tarot or coaching session with me.

One gives you a simple ritual to restore calm tonight. The other gives you personalized clarity for whatever crossroads you’re facing now.

However, the cart closes tonight.

So if you’re a woman who keeps the light burning even in turbulent times…

And you’re ready to pause, reflect, and illuminate your path forward…

Without harsh self-punishment or numbing avoidance…

Speaking of tending to what matters… One of the ways that I’m practising gentleness this month is by using things that make my daily rituals easier. Not as productivity hacks, but as acts of care.

None of these are “must-haves.” But if you’re in the season of creating more ease and less friction in your daily life, they might support you too.
