If we can not or will not learn from the past and learn from nature, we will not survive.

When asked, what type of hard truth did 2025 bring to you that you can turn into your inspiration for others in 2026…..I said, “What a beautiful question, to highlight our difficulties and allow us to use them as our wisdom. **after some thought**
I want to inspire women to find their clarity and strength, to pursue the life of their dreams.”

2025 was difficult for more reasons than I can list, for myself and many others. Challenging moments for us didn’t just appear in 2025, however I feel many things “came to head” for reasons that are out of my control to know…but I felt it and I know you did too.

Let’s rewind my story a bit. In 2021 (on my 40th Birthday) I started my journey to choose ME. To find who I was again, and what made ME happy. No expectations, just an exploration. Many of you noticed my traveling, my deep dive back into yoga / meditation and my wellness practices. I was laughing and dancing again at festivals, dressing up in elaborate costumes. Playing. I found my spirituality and walked the earth more gently and beautifully. I did these things and more because on my 40th birthday I made a promise to myself not to wait on anyone else, my joy and my life were in my control. I came up with my own personal mantra, “We ONLY have this ONE life…”. The finite AND infinite possibilities of that statement still gut punches me with power to this day.

I refused to spend this one and only life I had sad, hurt, disappointed, lonely. Clutching to hope that things would get better. So, that’s when my awakening began.
Many stories to tell later happened along that incredible journey, there were tears and breakdowns right alongside the triumphs and laughter.

I was battling to get my life back and it was by no means all just the beautiful destinations and yoga retreats I posted. Because how can we share the devastation, the heartbreak, and the ugly crying when we are going through it. I’m a recluse with my hurt and my pain I hide and “tough it out”. (More on that in the future)

But, here I am today. The happiest I’ve EVER been. Thriving and living in ways I never imagined. I’m so overwhelmingly grateful I chose to change, and do the work for those changes…not just for me, but for my daughters to see me in this light and be an inspiration to them, and I hope to be one for others now too.

We truly only have this one life to live here.
How are you living ? Are you ready to be honest with yourself ? Are you seeing things with clarity ?

I hope you take time to read the passage I posted with this and if you are in a place like I was I hope it helps put into words some things you are feeling. There is ALWAYS a path to happiness and even if it’s not the path you thought you were going to take, it’s okay…I promise you the new path being shown to you is WAY better than you could have ever imagined (that’s why it’s showing itself now…you’re ready sis)

The photo is me from my 40th birthday, I spent it alone in the woods and completely feral…it was glorious and life changing.

With all my love,

A Witch’s Note on the Winter Solstice

Tonight the longest night unfolds like a dark velvet cloak, wrapping the world in hush and star-silver. In the stillness, the breath of the earth grows deeper, as if the planet itself is listening for a spark to stitch the lengthening days back into being.

The solstice marks a sacred pause: a moment when darkness holds center stage and our intentions, whispered into the midnight air, are given room to take root. If you walk outside, you may feel the old magic stirring—the kind that remembers that even in shadow, seeds sleep with promises buried in their dark beds.

A Simple Solstice Ritual

What you’ll need:
A small candle (white or moon-white)
A bowl of water
A pinch of salt
A piece of quiet, private time (or a short ritual space)

Steps:
Find a quiet corner where you can sit undisturbed for a few minutes. Light the candle and gaze into its flame, letting your eyes soften with the night.
Hold the bowl of water in your hands. Feel its cool surface as a mirror of stillness. Say softly:
I honor the longest night and the turning of the wheel. I release what no longer serves me and invite light to begin its slow return.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the water, then stir counterclockwise three times to release what you wish to release. If you prefer, you may simply whisper your intentions over the water.
Dip your fingers into the water and trace a small circle on your own heart, then on your solar plexus, acknowledging the power that rests within you to grow bright in the dark.
Extinguish the candle with a gentle breath or a s***f, not with blowing. Thank the night for its witness, and carry the calm of this moment with you as you move back into the world.

A final breath: trust that the night’s deep hush holds seed for renewal. The longest night is not only an ending—it is a cradle for the coming light, a promise that the wheel will turn and warmth will return, even in the coldest hours.

Happy Solstice from everyone here at The Gathering Event ….may you work with this turning point to create a beautiful path for your future ✨
