If you saw the cards I pulled for us yesterday then this may well be the confirmation you need to act and trust.

Anu- Goddess of Prosperity

"A symbol of good fortune and beauty, Anu is a comforter and healer, a light even in a person's darkest hour. She advocates financial and spiritual wealth; light over darkness, or good over evil; knowledge above ignorance; and hope above despair. Anu is welcoming you to ask her for what you want in life. She will give you powerful magical and practical help to light up your life. Beautiful blessings and good fortune from on high will suddenly make your situation transparent. You will experience a rejuvenation of feminine wisdom and rapidly make money or receive physical gifts and presents. If you apply for a job, you will get it. Or you will be in a position to buy something you have been aiming to. Just as Anu's waterfall stands as a connection between Heaven and Earth, all good things are flowing your way. There is a dissolving of obstacles and a washing away of worries, bringing pure, heaven-sent freshness to current projects and renewed energy for new beginnings"

I also feel this is an excellent time to find the creativity that is in you and that this is connected to Prosperity in some way. Discover what it is that you need to create, whether it's physical, practical art, dance, a new project or anything new that you put your heart into.

If any of this resonates with you then please accept it and leave behind anything that does not serve you at this time.
Be gentle with yourself xx🙏💜

I do hope you are all safe and well after the snow storm overnight in UK. I thought I would pull a card for us from by Doreen Virtue.

Treasure Chest - an unforseen windfall of new abundance comes to you soon. And then on the bottom of the deck is Waves of Prosperity- new abundance and exciting opportunities wash over you now.

I feel a theme here!! If you have been praying for financial assistance, then it comes in unexpected ways for you. It may turn up as money or new opportunities or gifts from others. Maybe the start of the new year means a new door opening for you. Remember that abundance is not just about finance, and you may be receiving exactly what you need in other ways. Keep your eyes open so you recognise it. However it arrives, remember to show gratitude that your prayers have been answered. Practice an attitude of gratitude, thanking the Universe as though it has already been received, even before it arrives.

If you only have an abundance of snow at the moment, just wait a little longer. Maybe something needs unblocking, melting away, and clearing before what you need more of can truly be seen.

Be gentle with yourself. Stay warm and safe xx🙏💜

Peace 🙏💜

✍️ Peace on the Silent Road - Sometimes, the road we walk is not lined with crowds or filled with welcoming voices. Sometimes, it is just us, the silence, and the path ahead.

Yesterday, we walked on a red clay road—wet from recent rain, muddy beneath our feet, with no one watching, no one waiting to greet us. Just quiet earth and open sky.
But even there, especially there, peace was still shining.

Because peace does not depend on applause or recognition. It does not require witnesses or perfect conditions. It does not fade when the road becomes difficult or when we walk alone through the mud.
Peace walks with us in the silent moments just as much as in the celebrated ones. It is there in the steady rhythm of our steps, in the breath we take while navigating slippery ground, in the choice to keep moving forward even when no one is watching.

The world may not always see our journey. The path may not always be smooth or clear. But the work of cultivating peace continues—in the quiet, in the challenge, in the simple act of placing one foot in front of the other, again and again.

Yesterday’s muddy road told us this: peace is not about where we walk or who sees us walking. It is about what we carry inside, what we nurture within ourselves, what we choose to be regardless of circumstances.

So we keep walking. Through mud and sunshine, through crowds and solitude, through roads that are easy and roads that test us. Because peace is not conditional. It is a choice. And it shines brightest not when everything is perfect, but when we choose to carry it forward anyway.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

First 'real' week back to work and school for many, and in my part of the UK there are disruptions and closures due to snow and ice, so not a smooth return and start to the new year. And it's fitting that this card came out for us today!!

Trickster
Things that seem bad may in fact be good and vice versa. Don't take everything at face value. Look beneath the surface and trust your instinct.
The snow in the picture looks beautiful and fresh, clean and pure, but what is underneath it. Tread carefully.

You are also encouraged to try and find humour in difficult situations and have fun. Step out of the mold. It's a new year and an opportunity to see yourself in an entirely new way. Step out of old routines and habits that might be keeping you stagnant. Break up stagnant energies. Dance, sing, shout and go play in the snow!!!!

Wherever you are this week and whatever is happening for you, go slowly and gently as you step from the pause into this year. Be gentle with yourself xx💜

📍 NEW PINS ON THE MAP: Wokingham, Coventry and Lincoln, We’re Landing.

Take a look at that map. Every single pin represents a community of men who have decided that "bottling it up" isn't an option anymore.

This week, we are proud to push two more pins into the board as we officially launch in Wokingham, Coventry and Lincoln.

We know that taking the first step into a new group can be the hardest mile you’ll ever walk. But once you’re on the path, you’ll realize that every man there is walking for the same reason: to clear their head, drop the pressure, and be part of a brotherhood that actually listens.

THIS WEEK'S LAUNCHES:
🆕 LINCOLN 📍
🆕 WOKINGHAM📍
🆕 COVENTRY

The MWAT Promise:
✅ No cost.
✅ No referrals needed.
✅ Real men, real talk, and fresh air.
✅ Come once, come every week, or just come when you need it.

If you’re in Lincoln or Wokingham and you’ve been waiting for a sign to reach out—this is it. Check the website, find your local group, and just show up.

We’ve got you.Know someone in these areas? Do them a massive favour and tag them below. Let’s get these groups started strong.

🙏🏼💪🏼🚶🚶🏻‍♂️

Confirmation if you need it from part of this morning's guidance 🙏💜

DAILY ANGEL MESSAGE!
Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, say this prayer and then keep reading: “Thank you angels for revealing to me what I need to know!”

YOUR MESSAGE
If you are trying to force a plan into action, the angelic guidance is to back down and trust in the greater good. Often when something isn’t happening for us, we’re frustrated, but that’s only because we don’t see that our “perfect plan” is unfolding. When your ideas or plans go wrong, trust that the universe has a greater plan for you. And that greater plan isn’t something that has already been chosen for you, it’s more of a culmination of all of your life’s intentions, prayers, and actions washing back toward you with opportunities and experiences.

Call on your angels to light up the path ahead. You may feel that you are facing the unknown, but know that you are always guided and protected.

EXTENDED MESSAGE
This card doesn’t represent the plan that God has for your life, more the plan that comes to fruition based on your intentions and your highest good. You have been given the incredible gift of free will and therefore your thoughts, deeds, actions, and intentions are in some way going out into the universe and curating the experiences, opportunities, and energies that are flowing in and out of your life. When this card appears, you are being encouraged to move into a state of surrender, where you recognize that yes, your intentions have an impact on the creation of your life, but how those intentions unfold is not down to you, but in the hands of God. The divine plan is your intentions unfolding in a way that God/the universe feels is for your growth and highest good. Know that every experience you have been through in your life has been a way‑marker on your journey towards growth and expansion. And your angels are acknowledging your growth now.

Yesterday I pulled 2 cards for the weekend and they were both strongly connected to the full moon, releasing what does not need to be taken forward into the new cycle. This morning I felt I needed to pull another couple of cards for the rest of the weekend. We have another theme. Once we are ready to move forward there may be some doubts or concerns which is quite natural. These cards are here to support and reassure you.

Yes- Your intuition is correct, take action accordingly by Doreen Virtue. You're fairly certain about your next move, and this card is an additional validation. Trust your intuition fully. There may be a fear of making life changes but Spirit wants you to know that all of the details are being taken care of. You're supported in all ways as long as you ask for help and then accept it as it comes to you in various forms.

Surrender Trusting that we can achieve more by loosening control can take great courage. Sometimes the most constructive way forward is to stop forcing things into being. Rather than allowing, inviting and drawing a project into being, the energy here is of frustration as if you are pushing something heavy up a mountain and gravity or 'flow' don't seem to be on your side. Use this awareness as a guide when you start to detour from your path. When control is released, so too is resistance. Loosen your hold on the reins and know the universe will catch you. Trust. Let the great mysteries reveal themselves.

Take what resonates with you from one or both cards. Be gentle with yourself xx🙏💜
