Every January, I seem to come back to this space slowly. I get quieter. More inward.
And in a month that can feel full of pressure to perform, do, and make resolutions…
I notice a little rebel in me rise — maybe from years of that same old push.
But when I began to truly tune in cyclically — to myself, and to the natural world around me —
the way I move through this time of year shifted completely.
So… just in case you need to hear this:
Winter is still holding us.
We are not in bloom. We are wintering.
Nothing in nature blooms all year.
Nothing rushes its own becoming.
February seedings — Imbolc.
Brigid’s quiet flame.
The real ignition arrives at the Spring Equinox in March. Also honour that 2024 and 2025 have been big years—burning years, awakening years.
The Dragon and the Snake are not gentle teachers. Energetically it has been huge for people.
And now we’re in 2026 — a 1 year.
A year of new beginnings… and laying foundations.
And maybe that’s why winter might matter even more —because what we build now becomes the base we stand on later.
So if you feel slow, tender, rebuilding — you’re not behind.This is where the energy is made.
Quiet choices and unlayering. Gentle routines. Nervous system care. gently dreaming and inner reflection 💫
So One steady step at a time.
Go softly with yourself.
Let winter hold you a little longer —
and quietly prepare the ground. 🌱
