These are the final days of 2020…
And there’s a full moon hanging in the sky like it’s watching us all with a raised eyebrow. And honestly? Same. I’m still sitting here asking WTF just happened? The last half of this year has been one long blur, especially without my trusty journal to stop the days from blending into one confusing soup. Downsizing my life as a nomad meant letting go of more than just extra baggage—and turns out, my mental health definitely missed a few of those things I left behind.
But you know what did nourish my soul? That impromptu Winter Solstice Collective I threw together with some amazing, badass women. Honestly, that was the soul-food I didn’t know I was starving for. I’ve spent too long denying that part of myself—the part that absolutely loves connecting with other women, talking, sharing, creating magical moments, and laughing until our cheeks hurt.
Moving into 2021 is going to be… well, let’s just say, “interesting.” I mean, I bought a one-way ticket to Scotland with no plan, no job, and no clue that a global pandemic was about to drop in like an uninvited guest at the world’s longest house party. But you know what? We’ll make it through. Together. Always stronger together. The trick now is figuring out how to take this dumpster fire of a time and turn it into something we can grow from—or at least, something that doesn’t smell quite so bad.
Before I get too carried away with musings (I really should write more of this down—oh wait, here I am), here’s how I’m stepping into 2021:
WORD ALCHEMY:
I’m making time to write, whether it’s profound or complete nonsense (and trust me, there will be nonsense). The point is just to get the words out.
FINDING MY FREQUENCY:
I’m dancing on the edges of the job market, figuring out how to match my passions with something that pays the bills. At the same time, I’m tuning into what my soul needs to thrive—probably more dancing, more freedom, and maybe less worrying about spreadsheets.
MOVE THE WAY LOVE MOVES:
My online movement classes are still going strong. Still pay-what-you-can, still full of funky playlists and ridiculous jokes, and still fueled by those post-class live chats that make my heart happy.
EXPLORATION & ADVENTURE:
I’m craving more joy. More laughter, more silliness, more exploring the wild Scottish hills, and more of whatever keeps me feeling alive and well.
So, here’s my take: let the rollercoaster keep rollin’, and let the fine print of life keep changing (because honestly, what choice do we have?). But one thing we do have? HOPE. And hope, my friends, is pure magic.
We all have the power to choose, to transform our perspective, to shift from shadows into light. And we have hope—together.
So may you walk into 2021 with hope holding your hand, guiding your way, and warming your heart.
Thanks for being part of my wild journey, and for letting me be a small part of yours. Now, who’s ready to see what this next chapter brings?
