For the past month, I’ve been quietly hibernating as much as possible.

This time of year is sacred to me. And especially after the wild past two and a half years of my life, I knew that if I didn’t take a deep pause, my health would pay the price. So I’ve been restoring as much as I can.

And in the midst of that stillness, something magical and unexpected happened…

We’re moving!

Into a home that feels like a true upgrade for our next chapter, nestled among a chain of five lakes. For this Pisces soul and my husband’s Pisces moon and rising, it feels like coming home to water, rhythm, and breath.

What began as hibernation naturally became a season of release and preparation. I’ve been letting go of clothing, belongings, old patterns, and past versions of myself. Ways of being that simply do not belong anymore.

Anyone else feeling this kind of shedding as we move through this final month of the Year of the Snake? 🐍

I’ve always felt that winter is meant for going within. I admit I have an aversion to the hustle and heavy promotion that fills the contemporary holiday season. I don’t feel creation asking us to sprint in winter, but to slow down. To go within. To rest.

So I wanted to offer you something gentle.

A Love Note for Your Voice 💜

I created this short audio meditation as a soft blessing for this season. Five minutes of breath, embodied voice work, gentle guidance, and light language to help your voice settle and reconnect with your body.

You can listen in the morning, before sleep, or anytime you need tenderness.

It is layered over a song I wrote (called Passage to the Pleiades), woven with singing, intuitive light language, and blessings from my voice to yours.

Return to it whenever you and your voice need love.

I hope you’ll enjoy. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please let me know in the comments if you listen. 

Aside from the fact that I’m moving (😅) I’ll be slowing down a bit longer, and then you’ll feel my energy rise again as spring nears.

As we enter 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, remember that this does not mean we have to run nonstop. It means we run when it feels amazing, and we can also enjoy grazing in green pastures. 🔥🐎

In his 2026 energy update, Lee Harris also says that this is the year of the voice and speaking our truth. I wholeheartedly second that. Here’s to all the magic that will bring!

Keep singing, wild souls, for yourself and for the whole.

BlesSINGS!
