Day 5 of in 2024 has been extremely emotional for me. Going into this year, I knew that I was carrying over baggage from 2023, but also from the past 3 years as a whole. On October 4th of 2023, I was hit 300 feet from my house in Elphie, a car I have had for 8 years, that's been paid off for 2. If you know anything about my story, I nearly lost Elphie as the pandemic set in in 2020. I got her back by a miracle, but she was having some problems this past year with an oil leakage. Nonetheless, when I was involved in the accident, I was grateful I wasn't hurt, but also sad because of how much we have been through together.

Since October, my husband and I have been sharing his car, and Elphie has been sitting in our carport. She even saved me from having to get a new work ID in November when my security card fell off my person, and someone found it lying on the ground in downtown Nashville and put it on a car that looked exactly like mine thinking it was, and the angel owner turned it into the security shack at my employer.

It's been really hard and heavy, and today, I have been to court for the second time on account of my accident, because when I was hit, all my airbags deployed on the sides and I was in shock. I couldn't see anything and I thought I was involved in a hit and run. In my scared state, I somehow drove my car the 300 feet to my carport, and the metro cops in Bellevue cited me with a misdemeanor for leaving the scene of the accident. I showed up to court 10 min late today because I was in the wrong building, but my lateness caused me to get an attorney that I could actually afford, and I have been finally set to a trial on March 28th, 2024.

Even though it is still not over, I feel relief. My karmic dues are overpaid at this point, because I am now sitting at the DMV waiting on my step-son to get his driver's permit.

Take it from the Chicken- you don't want to ever go to court and the DMV in the same day. But if you do, make it as adventurous as possible and lean into the lessons you receive no matter what the situation. Cried alot today- more than all of last year. To be continued... Grateful.

James Thurber called it over 50 years ago that the next civil war will be between women and men. The documents prove this is valid. Day 4 of 2024 and I am just trying to embrace what is...

Day three of 2024 completing and computing now. I'm counting my blessings. I am burning candles daily. Tonight, it helped me to finish making grilled cheeses and soups by watching the flames as I prepped. The challenge was to enjoy what I was doing and finish before the candle burned out.

I did it.

🔥 🕯 Blue candles are often used in ritual related to calming effects and bringing in positive energy. Blue is the color associated with throat chakra, and communication in honesty and empathy is greatly needed at the moment in my home and in a greater sense of using my voice with the world. This little light of mine was gleaming against my new opals.

Going into 2024 with zero expectations on myself, but also easing and planning and writing- with a helping of self observation and care. I gave up 2023 into 2024 on the Winter Solstice.

are back with a vengeance, as well as dancing and laughing with myself more. Today I was given a huge gift from and - who are two lights in my existence, who most definitely give me reason to get up! Getting up is most of the battle.

Om shreem dhanvantri namaha mantra gives energy and vitality to the human body in Spirit. It is the chant of well-being. Thy Will be done in all the light of love you carry with you- with your speaking, with your actions, with your life in the light of Love.

Day Two down, with a prepped for my family in under 20 minutes.

Finishing off the first day of the year with nourishing hot bev night time toddy love in Cedar Hill Apothecary drinking chocolate and adaptogen powder. I copied mom Tori and put some Natural Shilajit in with oat milk and topped it with some edible rose petals. Looking forward to sweet dreams cause all these minerals are natural sleep aids.♡

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard? Did you know there are gummies that look like chicken feet? Did you know I'm bringing back in 2024? Did you know I have a squishmallow chicken? Did you know how much I wish you peace and love today and always?

I wish you the most magical nye and a wonderful 2024. I am holding space for you in my heart as I bring in the new year in meditation and gentle intention wishing as the clock strikes 12. ♡ thank you for your connection 🙏

Don't forget me...

Tonight, the house is extra quiet. I am pretty sure this night is the first time since April that Tom and I have been here alone together for more than a couple of hours.

As I reflect on 2023, I am delving into my deepest wounds and releasing them. It's emotional and it's heavy, and that's okay. I'm learning whatever comes up, is okay, but I don't have to react to anything. I can watch the flow and keep going. Every action, every breath is a gift.

I am a creature of solitude. I enjoy peace and quiet and my home feels the best when everything is put away (laundry, dishes) and I have moments where I don't have to clean out litter boxes, sweep up crumbs, wipe off counters, and go behind other humans living in my space to clean up.

It feels nice to just relax and be okay with the silence. I am drinking in this grounding energy as I write and wish upon 2024 for clearer mindsets, boundaries set by myself and my closest companions, and new endings to some painful birth pains of 44 years of loving and living.

I release the anger and the hurt. I no longer feel comforted by many things that kept me afloat the last three years that were there for my comfort as I lived loss and regained strength in my truest nature.

My truth is now, and I am excited to dive deep into the next year living my adventure and story with new turns and paths. The journey is the living, and often my path was not the road I wanted to travel, but I did it anyway, kicking and screaming, but also being patient with my growing.

I feel peace. I know peace. I am love and light and here to support the connections in my life who are there in the daily grinding of my senses- mind, body and spirit.

Welcome Winter. You ask me to rest and ask me to keep going. I will. I want to. There have been many times since April I haven't wanted to live. This is not alarming to me, because I wish to live the fullest life possible in the now. I could make a list of all the bu****it I've endured, but instead, I am making lists of lifelong goals I truly want to be there for.

I will. I wish you the same reflection, knowing you are loved and supported in living your best life, too.
