Moments of joy of this month. The practice of celebrating, can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but the more you do, the more you invite in ✨

1. With my loves at this Fira de Nadal, this weekend. One of my favourite nights of the year. Full of community and christmas cheer. Love my village and my family. Ruby was off doing her own thing with her friends of course 🤣
2. Alfie with his poinsettia, too cute
3. Jake working on the school Christmas stall, raising money for the end of term trip, selling decorations to his Grandma
4. Just the most beautiful sunrise
5. Yaima in concert. Hauntingly beautiful.
6. Yaima again. With my sisters .e.jackson and Sam
7. Time with my beautiful Marina .g fuming for the last time for Bloom online course before she leaves for Brazil, so grateful for her friendship and her guidance.
8. Cousins in the woods
9. Alfie in a rabbit hat, always drawing.
10. Beach walks with my man and my dog. Happy place.
11. Loving my new glass kettle for my herbal teas. Joy to use.
12. Inspirational friends. Delighted in leading a friendship ceremony for two best friends. A special morning of love and connection.
13. Always collecting flowers
14. Gorgeous afternoon celebrating with little Aryan’s birthday with friends at La Finca. Thank you 🙏🏼
15. Ran a 5k. On my home turf of the Maresme. Proud of myself. Set out to enjoy it and I did.
16. Two of my fave things. Community and crafts, making christmas decorations with the families of Jake’s class for the Fira.
17. More decos
18. The group of workers
19. Samhain Family Celebration. Round the fire, honouring our ancestors a moment that lives deep in my heart.
20. Walking home from the Forrest as the sun sets.

And now the sun sets on November, and we head into Yule season, the twinkly, magical month of December.

My intention is to use this month to fully nestle into the darkness. Using softness, rest and slowness as a means to energetically expand in my business and finances. Which I know sounds counterintuitive but I have a sense it’s possible, let’s see ❄️plus all the magic with my family of course, excited. 💫

This week I’ve been thinking “I haven’t done ANY real work on my projects, I’m falling behind, there’s so much to do and I’m not doing any of it”— and then this morning in my practice, I caught myself.

Because I had been working. Just not in the way the world measures it.

I’d been looking after my sons being sick. Navigating bureaucratic labyrinths that drain your soul (NIE renewal 😱if you know you know).
Winterizing our home so we’re safe and warm.
Supporting the community as we prepare for the school stand at the Christmas Fira this weekend.
Managing the thousand invisible tasks that keep life from unraveling.

And I needed to get quiet to remind myself: This IS the work.

The work that sets the tone for my family’s wellbeing.

The work that creates the foundation from which we all launch into the world.

The work that — when it’s not done — everything else crumbles, especially in these busy build up to thanksgiving/ christmas/ holiday time.

So for all the mums, women, dads, holding it together behind the scenes: I see you.

Your work is not less valuable because it doesn’t show up on a CV. It’s not less real because no one applauds it. It’s not less exhausting because society has decided to call it “just life admin.”

You are building the infrastructure of human flourishing, one unsexy task at a time.

And that is everything.

Uff - is it me or has the world just stepped up a gear?

Expansion is happening everywhere right now!

Works busy, life’s busy, christmas is just around the corner and suddenly everything feels FULL ON.

Here’s one thing I try to do when life feels at capacity to make sure I can keep all the balls spinning.

It’s not speed up.

It’s slow down.

Slow down to the speed of clarity.

To place where you can hear yourself.

To the place below all the noise, where you can commune with something beyond the mind and the busy mental chatter.

To the place where the things that truly matter can be heard.

Then suddenly the rest falls into line.

Find those moments, get that clarity, and energetically things will change and shift. How you approach. How you react. How you “do” the busy will be different.

And I bet it will seem easier too.

Sending love, until next time in circle,

Weekly check-ins; One of my favourite rituals of the week on a Monday morning, that in .club asks us to do, is a weekly check in ✨

Writing out and sharing our from the week just gone our
- Wins
- Challenges
And
- Intentions for the week ahead

It’s a powerful and simple process that is keeping me focussed and on track and in a more positive state.

Here’s some of mine from last week:

Wins
* ran 5k race and enjoyed it!
* epic fun weekend of friends, kids activities, and self care
* powerful session with Mel
* said no to an event that wasn’t working out
* Helpful social media audit session with Kat .kat.river , supported Nick get a plan for his business
* Nick helped me get products and payment integration on website

Challenges
* difficult, frustration and premenstrual energy at start of week- disconnection and arguments
* Didn’t do any of the financial defense on list
* Little progress on bloom course

Intentions
* financial defense focus
* Bloom course focus ahead of filming next week
* Upgrade house calmly, builder coming in
* have a great private ceremony

For me it invites in acknowledgement and celebration, while keeping me moving in the right direction.

Do you do something like this? Would love to hear. If not, why not give it a try… do it for a month and I’m sure you’ll notice changes. You can do a monthly overview one too as it’s helpful to cross reference. Small habits, big changes ✨

As a kid I loved to make potions and perfumes from all the things in our garden. I’d add rose petals to water convinced they’d make the most beautiful scent ever. They didn’t! But I still believed in the power of the natural world, I knew it had something special to it ✨

Fast forward a few years and I learnt about the power of manifestation, to make dreams come true (noted - alongside a healthy dose of privilege). I wrote a script for the home I now live in (some to some of the smallest details) and the lifestyle I live when I was still working in London in 2007.

And it’s something I’ve shared with my own kids since they were little, the power of creation and creativity that lives within us all.

So to do a spell making ritual in the woods with a bunch of kids this weekend, as part of the Samhain Family Celebration with , was magical 🖤

Keeping spell weaving, hope and possibility alive as long as possible ✨

Planting seeds of the power of positive manifestation aka spells from a young age ✨

Showing them they are magic makers, there words have power, they have the potential to ask for and go after want they want. To help others, to be brave, to have fun or as my little son asked for - to be a millionaire!

Witches and wizards they are!

Thank you to the enchanted Serralada Litoral Forest and its magical ingredients for holding us ✨✨✨

The dark half of the year asks: what truly sustains us? Who holds us?

Gather what you’ve grown. Release what no longer serves.

We review our work. We plan our lives.

Join Samantha , Jo and her partner Nick for our Autumn Couples Ceremony.
