16/02/2026
Some days crack you open in every possible way. Today felt like the toughest day of 2026 so far, a tidal wave of excitement, love, happiness, peace, fear, shock, anger, and grief all arriving at once, each demanding to be felt fully.
Stepping Into the Year of the Horse
There is something powerful about this threshold, the Year of the Horse, a symbol of momentum, strength, freedom, and untamed spirit.
And alongside it, the medicine of the snake, shedding, releasing, transforming.
Today felt like both.
Parts of me rising in fire and speed.
Parts of me peeling away old skins that no longer fit.
Growth sometimes whispers and sometimes it roars. 🔥
By the end of the day, I felt completely depleted. Emotionally wrung out.
And then, as if perfectly timed, *Unwritten* came on the radio, a reminder that this is a blank page, that our story is not pre-written and that we hold the pen.
Moments later, the universe followed it up with *This Could Be the Best Day of My Life.* I had to laugh. The timing felt intentional. Playful. A wink from my guides.
Maybe the hardest days are also the most defining.
Maybe the cracking open is the becoming.
In these moments, I quieten. I go within.
Movement to shift the energy.
Meditation to steady the mind.
Journaling to let the truth spill out without judgment.
When everything feels amplified, the answer isn’t to run, it’s to ground while honouring all of the feelings and being gentle and kind to yourself.
Today held everything. And somehow, that feels sacred.
If this is the first page, I’m ready to write it, even on the days that shake me.
