“I am the sole author of the dictionary that defines me.” -Zadie Smith
“Everything you need you had the moment before you were born.” -David Whyte
Braveheart, this is your invitation to let go of perfection and to savor your goodness, your fullness.
Because just like the moon, being in the light (of self-compassion and goodness) is how you become aware of your fullness.

➡️➡️➡️ As we honor the tradition of Twelve Days of Christmas (December 25, 2025-January 5, 2026) together, today I invite you to practice self-compassion. ❤️
- A practice is merely a task or ritual we repeat over and over to move forward.
- “Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.” -Julia Cameron
➡️➡️➡️ As a daily prompt I have been posting oracle cards, content + free downloads here to offer ideas and resources for self-compassion + expression + attention + reflection.
I paired The Magician card with my embellished zine as a reminder that the desires of our heart are like prompts, seeds of possibility; reminders that we have the ability to bring our dreams to life using our natural talents.
Self-compassion can be like a wand, a means of tapping into our strengths (instead of being side-tracked by angst and self-loathing).
No one stands by passively
while their joy gets lost in the dark.
I know it is its own injury,
spending too much of your life
just holding yourself together–
Andrea Gibson, “Living Proof“
➡️ Right brain planning begins with self-compassion and expression. It is a creative way of holding space … especially when you are holding yourself together. (Frankly, it proved to be my way through a lengthy, profound depression ➡️ and into the proverbial ✨ light.)
Life can get better, Braveheart.
