🧡 I took this photo yesterday. It stopped me in my tracks — because it sums up my year. 🧡

I was about to scroll back and share highlights from our beautiful teacher trainings and events, moments of joy and connection. But this image came first. And it told the truer story.

Light and dark.
A thin band of gold running through the centre.

Doing my best to bring light into the world. To support the people I’m lucky enough to work with. To show up for friends and family. All while, around that golden line, it’s been a heavy year — for me, and for many. Dark at times. Challenging. Heart-stretching.

There have been joyful moments, yes. But they’ve played against a backdrop of emotional pain, grief, change and deep learning. Some relationships have shifted forever. Some lessons have landed hard. And while I’m grateful for the good, I’m not sorry to see the back of this year.

This image resonates because it reminds me that things aren’t always bright and breezy. What we show the world doesn’t always reflect what’s happening beneath the surface. The hidden layers — sadness, disappointment, grief, difficult change — live alongside the light. For all of us.

So instead of simply wishing you a “happy new year,” my wish is this:

May we transmute what hurt us.
May we carry forward the wisdom, the growth, the lessons earned.
May we allow what’s next to unfold, imperfectly.

Life isn’t perfect. We aren’t perfect. But finding those slivers of gold — in the in-between moments — that’s what it’s all about.

In a wild and complicated world, it’s often the darkness that teaches us most. And without the grey, the gold wouldn’t shine so brightly.

Wishing you a heartfelt Happy New Year.
May we pause long enough to notice the gold.
All my love 🧡

⭐️🫶🎄🥰

The tree is up. The presents are wrapped. The fridge is full. The children are photographed in coordinating outfits. Cards arrive in the post, addressed in careful handwriting. Somehow, despite the chaos of modern life, Christmas magic has materialised.

The question rarely asked is not how this happens, but who makes it happen.

For many families, the answer is women. Not only in the visible ways – cooking the meals, hosting the gatherings, but in the quieter, more diffuse labour that holds the season together. This is work that sociologists call kin work: the planning, organising, remembering, anticipating, and emotional attunement that sustains family life.

Someone has to hold the emotional weather of the season: the joy, the exhaustion, the grief, the complicated reunions. That someone is, more often than not, a woman, writes Roe McDermott at the link in the comments.
