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!!!!! ✨✨✨✨
The jumbled text 🤣🤣🤣 I love how deeply you see and get me. Thank you for your very existence and always adjusting my crown! You already know what an absolute bad ass Queen you are, but I promise to hold your skirt tails and bare witness all the same ❤️❤️🎊
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! 😅
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!
Awwww….K.! That is wonderful to hear. Truly. I love you too and am here. I love how you do language too with such playful and inventive words and expressions. 🕊️👑♥️💫
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 😸.
Jules. Oh my. Thank you so much for sharing this chapter of your life here. Your infinite well of inner wisdom SHINES through in your writing. I feel your depth and know you have walked through the dark night of the soul. Thank you so much for your friendship and kindness. May 2025 bring us nothing but miracles. ✨
I love all of this, but especially #3 and the ways in which your worldview is shifting by your own and others' suffering and meaning making. You shared such a profound reflection here!
I love you bigger than sea and vaster than the sky, K! You’re a straight up gift to this world and I so wish we could turn back the clock to hug!! Buttttt I know in my soul that we will get the chance to hang out one day, because it’s in the cards. I believe that.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and love and support and kindness with all of us. I’m forever changed by having you in my life in all the best ways.
Cheers to a new year ahead! Skipping and holding your hand into 2025! ♥️♥️♥️🫂
🥹😭😭🥰 you!! Just magical. I’m reduced to tears in the best way. Thank you RIGHT BACK for making this year…survivable. You too, are a gift to humanity. I live for your pears of wisdom. Cannot wait to hug you in the real flesh. 🤍
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.🕊️✨

How has it been going on artist dates?
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?

It’s called SEEKING WISDOM, 2022
Great list! Next time there's a west coast event, I'll be there! ❤️
I hope I will be too!! Would be so much fun to go together ❤️
Thank you, K.! Thank you for being you. Keep it 🌶️ spicy! Thankful for you. Happy Freaking New Year! Proud of you and Oh, the humanity! ♥️🥳
CHIB!! You have been such a feather-clad-life-raft to me this year. I love you, thank you for being You. 👑☀️✨🕊️

You’re welcome Kaylen! Thank you for your kind words and friendship as well. I’m absolutely willing to accept a year of miracles ✨🖤✨.
I love all of this, but especially #3 and the ways in which your worldview is shifting by your own and others' suffering and meaning making. You shared such a profound reflection here!
CVD 🥹 Your presence always feels like the warmest hug. Thank you for encouraging my meaning-making-moments. I hope you know that I live for yours!
Aww, right back at you! 🥰
