😣The end is nigh!


Well, ok, the end of the working year is nigh and if you're lucky or privileged enough to have some time off over the holiday season here is your permission slip to thoroughly enjoy it!

I'm off work tomorrow and Friday and I will be back in on Monday - and I'm really looking forward to it - I'm gonna get so much done!

The decks will be cleared for 2026.

Aside from that, I will be sipping coffee, catching up with folk and making sure nothing ruins people's holidays.

I strongly encourage you to do the same - as far as is possible for you. I know there will be some people working Christmas Day/ Stephen's Day. I know there are people to whom Christmas week is a normal working week. I'll be thinking of you.

I also know there are people out there for whom this time of year is miserable, or sad, or lonely. I encourage you to do what you need to do to survive! It's ok to stay in jammies for a day or two. It's ok to eat less-than-nutritious things for a day or two.

I will be sending a few emails next week and sharing what resources I'm aware of.

But most of all - rest where you can.

I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.

It's a tough time in the Forge right now. Well let's face it, it's always a tough time in the Forge, but I'm referring to my own private forge for this second. There's a lot of medical bills hitting us and while yes, we are in a much better position than those in the US when it comes to this, it still makes money tight. So, while I'd normally run a million miles away from a Black Friday deal, I'm offering 20% off all courses bought in the next 10 days in the forge. Just use coupon code...

Life has been busy but I honestly did not intend to leave it this long without emailing ye! So, in the last month: 💔I've lost two members of my team in work 💔Al has had to change meds causing a lot of upsets 👏I've started going to a Menopausal Women's exercise group which has been fantastic 👏I've gone low/ no carb and my digestive system is miles better 👏I've re-started my journaling habit 👏I've re-started my productivity habits Places I'm slipping on thought are: ⏳getting my blog posts out...

For those of you who link to Instagram or the blog before checking email, you'll already know I'm wearing one of my new favourite t-shirts today. If you don't do that however, here's you're warning that my annual mission to bring joy and happiness to my colleagues through passive-aggressive t-shirts and outfits befitting the season has begun. Yes, this is the t-shirt. I keep telling my senior management it's to help with morale. Mainly mine, but really, if I'm happy, it means fewer people are...
