asl;dijg d l;kaoieKJSDG OPAS ;lfdjk;as ;ljdfg; ;LDJG LJKDFG <-- me, spassing out over how much I adore you and your final 2024 post! 😂

LOVE your recs!!! (+ yasssss Fleabag! 😍) Many are new to me so very much would love to check them out. And girl. Samesies... TV *does* bring so much joy, even though I am very strict about when I let myself enjoy it. And in the new year, I want to have a better balance of letting myself enjoy it more, without going off the deep end. Because I feel like I could go off the deep end. 😂 The storylines, the plot development, the characters!

Oh my goodness, alllll the chills with #3. I consider myself to be a pretty (very?) person, but there's soooo much I still don't know or have answers for. But I just love it when there is a thought that lingers and does not leave. They absolutely mean something. 💕✨ And you're soooo right, we only see such a small POV. There's so much out there, everywhere, surrounding us. ✨

And oh my god, YOU GIFTED LIZ GILBERT A CUSTOM SWEATER?!?!!?!??!?!?!?! Ma'am!!!!!!! You are incredible. Just incredible. That gives me the happiest chills.

Lastly (because this comment is getting quite long 😂) I see you with the health struggles. And I'm sending you soooo much love and healing energy. ❤️ I too am on my own healing journey, and am praying that 2025 brings much healing for you and I.

Thank YOU for being her. You are amazing. Cheers to 2025!!!!! ✨✨✨✨

How has it been going on artist dates?

Expand full comment

It has been the hardest part of this program!! I discovered recently that we can define our artist dates depending on what we need for restoration. Sometimes that means staying IN and kicking everyone else OUT for some peace! 😅

Have you tried?

Haha, that’s a good one. No, I haven’t tried. I listened to the audiobook so I didn’t really “do” it.

I found my wife’s old version of one of the shorter courses, 6 weeks maybe. She released a whole bunch of similar books, which is nice, because it’s always review and a little variation keeps it from being repetitive, at least in theory. I like the format but couldn’t commit to the 12 weeks at the time

Totally understand! It took me over 2 years to commit - I’ve had the book on my shelf collecting dust. I like the sound of the 6 week program- for little refreshers or something down the line. Thank you for letting me know!

I’m so happy to see you’re still plugging away at The Artist’s Way, and writing your morning pages!!! They are transformative, as you are beginning to see.

I went through a ten year period from 2011-2021 where I lost five people; and all were traumatizing to me. Those were my years of nihilism. I totally get it. That feeling of, “How can any of this possibly be on purpose? And if it is, I think the divine is twisted.” But… then I began looking for humor and beauty everywhere I could in order to save myself from crippling depression, and not only did I find it, I found Spirit within it. It’s somewhat inexplicable if you haven’t experienced it; but seek and you shall find. Whether it’s negative, positive, hilarious, or divine.

2025 is the year of the snake 🐍 representing for me good health (see the caduceus) and transformation (shedding of skin) and I wish us all the best of it! Let’s show off our ✨gleaming✨ scales in the year to come 😸.

This is such a beautiful and heartfelt reflection on a year of growth, discovery, and connection! K. Alexandra’s genuine vulnerability and the way she weaves gratitude into every category make this note deeply inspiring. I especially resonate with the embrace of faith in its broader, more universal sense—it’s a perspective that adds so much depth to facing life’s challenges.

It’s also wonderful to see the love for Substack as a space for storytelling and connection. Her acknowledgment of the power of community here feels like such a gift.

Thank you for sharing this—it feels like an invitation to reflect on what has pulled me through the past year and what I hope to carry forward into 2025. Happy New Year K.🕊️✨
