new year new me

Here we are, 2025.

Words for the year: balance, stability, forward movement.

I signed for another year here, but got cold feet, wanting to backpedal to 6 months, bringing up resentment and some worry.

I pulled some cards, feeling into the year.

KittenChops Playful Hearts Tarot

Seven of wands first looks like a little warrior, a little worse for the wear, but is holding a diamond in her hand, boldly facing the resistence.

Next three of cups came highlighting family balance and stability, a team in love.

Then explore true abundance came with ace of swords. I see community holding hands in nature-- my idea of abundance, and ace of swords shows a warrior, this time with a diamond shield and helmet with big brain popping out, reaching for his sword of truth, which is presented in a happy ray of sunshine.

All of this is underlined by the empress, on the bottom of the deck. A woman sitting in her full power, playful, creating, two kittens on her lap, connected to the abundant and fertile earth around her. A queen of queens.

I feel into the idea of being healed after a long road of healing. What does that mean? Is it possible, true, or the goal? I think about stable family, joyful community, belonging, love, connection. I think about a step up in finances and what it means to monetize my work. I see the powerful and important truth that I am getting ready to share with the world. All of this from a seat of power that is the truth of who I am at the core.

Here we go.
