๐ŸŒ• The Cold Moon/Wolf Moon ๐ŸŒ• 3rd Jan

The Cold Moon rises in the deep heart of winter,
when the nights are long and the world is quiet.

This is not a moon of rushing forward.
It asks us to listen, conserve energy, and tend to what truly matters.
Ways we can honour this moon at home:
๐ŸŒ•Sit with the quiet
Turn off unnecessary noise. Light a candle. Let stillness speak.
๐ŸŒ•Tend to your hearth
Cook something warm, simply make your home feel held and safe.
๐ŸŒ• Reflect on belonging
Where do you feel supported and held? Where do you need stronger boundaries?
๐ŸŒ• Release what drains you
Write down habits, thoughts, or worries that no longer serve you. Fold the paper away or safely release it.
๐ŸŒ• Rest without guilt
The Cold Moon honours rest as wisdom, not weakness.
This moon reminds us:
You do not need to bloom in winter.
You need only endure, listen, and stay true to yourself.

Happy New Year โœจ๏ธโค๏ธ

I know a new year can bring pressure to change, improve, or 'start over.'

This year, maybe the intention isnโ€™t to become someone or something new โ€”
but to choose yourself, again and again, in the ways that are possible for you.

Showing up for yourself โ€” even quietly, even imperfectly โ€” is brave.
And it matters.

Hereโ€™s to a year of choosing you.

Happy Hogmanay ๐Ÿ’™

Over the next few days, you may see lots of posts about how amazing peopleโ€™s years were, everything they achieved in 2025, or the big goals theyโ€™re setting for 2026.

This is your reminder that itโ€™s okay if all you did this year was survive.
Itโ€™s okay if you survived a struggle, a season, or a circumstance that no one else really saw.
Itโ€™s okay if you donโ€™t have big goals for 2026.
Itโ€™s okay if New Yearโ€™s Day feels like just another day.

Whether youโ€™re celebrating or simply getting through โ€” all of it is valid.

Everyone is different, and everyone deserves space to feel exactly how they feel.

If you survived, that took strength.
If youโ€™re struggling to see happiness, direction, or how to reach goals or dreams โ€” or if your only goal right now is to keep surviving โ€” that takes strength too.

Whether you believe in intentions or not, take a moment to acknowledge you โ€” the strength you hold, and what you have already overcome.

As we move into 2026, I pray that everyone experiences love, good health, hope, and healing โ€” in whatever way that looks like for you. ๐Ÿค

โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿค I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me this year โ€” whether you trusted me with your journey, reached out, liked or shared a post, sent a message of encouragement, or recommended me to someone else. None of it goes unnoticed, and it has truly meant more than you know.

I feel incredibly grateful and humbled to have been so busy in my very first year in business. So many people have shared that they found me through a recommendation, and that speaks volumes about the power of kindness, connection, and community.

Social media often gets a bad name, but when used with care and compassion, it can be a powerful tool for support, awareness, and helping people find their way to the right support. Even the smallest action โ€” a share, a kind comment, or a quiet recommendation โ€” can make a real difference.

Iโ€™m also very aware that Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many. Please be gentle and kind to yourself. Christmas looks different for everyone, and it doesnโ€™t have to be โ€œperfectโ€.

If youโ€™re struggling and feel you might need a kind voice or listening ear, support is available:
โ€ข Lifeline: 0800 808 8000
โ€ข Samaritans: 116 123

Whether our paths crossed briefly or our work continues into the new year, thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and your support. I wish you a safe and healthy Christmas, and I genuinely hope that 2026 brings love, healing, and blessings for you and your loved ones. ๐Ÿคโœจ

Adoption ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’š

Christmas can look different in every family. For adoptive families, the season can hold extra layers โ€” gratitude, grief, joy, and reflection. Itโ€™s a time to honor where a child came from, the losses along the way, and the love that continues to grow. Thereโ€™s no โ€˜rightโ€™ way to do Christmas โ€” only what feels safe and meaningful for your family ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’š
