Why I'm not doing a 2024 highlights reel

Because thank FUCK that's over

We're three days into 2025, so it's still not too late to say, Happy New Year to you.

I'm on cycle day 12 over here and feeling way more slow slug than sensual superwoman, probably due to my period arriving the day before Christmas Eve as well as having a cold, but...Christmas was a VIBE this year. It was also intense.

We had people staying for 10 days straight, including one of my younger sisters and my little brother, and it was the first time we've spent time like that together since we were kids. It was so. much. fun. We ate, played Carcassone and tried (and failed) to watch the new version of The Little Mermaid.

It was a lovely end to what has been a pretty rough year, and so I've decided not to do a highlights reel of the last 12 months. There've been some awesome stuff in 2024 but I want to be real with you and putting together a happy-go-lucky reel just ain't it. So, I've decided to do a little round up in an audio note for you! You can listen to it here:

What I want, is for you to have permission to be YOU. To be honest about the year you've had. If it was shit, that's ok! We all have years like that, it's part of life. They are, I think, the years in which we learn the most, once we get through the ickiness of it all.

I am so so grateful for you being in this slice of the universe with me. I haven't been in touch as often as previous years, but it's been a big comfort for me to know you're here.

I'm off to get some work done in my child-free time. I'm about to schedule some podcast things (eeeeeeeeeek) and that feels WILD! Especially because I've been offered the job I referenced in the voice note and so my passion-project worktime will be much, much less than it is right now. But, we can do this, right!

I truly hope you have the year you need in these coming 12 months. I hope you feel secure and balanced in yourself, supported in your life and held by community.

Big hugs!
