Updates & Holiday Season 2025

12/26/25

At the keyboard, smell of a clean-mopped-floor wafts around me, and my laundry is swirlilng around the washing machine as the Muse inspired me to write a blog entry. It has been a while since this occurred! Weekly Newsletter Messages get posted to my blog so I do have time once a week to exercise my writing (no AI-lame-chat-gee-pee-tee here! Use of AI to write sickens me and saddens me). The Day after Christmas 2025.

I hope you had some enjoyment throughout your Holiday 2025 Season! Didn’t this one fly by? Came outta nowhere? I felt like Halloween was yesterday and even that holiday came sooner than many earlier years. My love and I started to watch Mad Men so I only squeezed one holiday movie in December. Sure, I could watch my yearly-Christmas-movies…but I wasn’t interested. I’ve been living in the 1960s with Don, Betty, and the characters at Sterling & Cooper.

Time to bask in the energy of those still with us. I think we are all familiar with that sense of dread to think that this may have been the last holiday season with XYZ loved one. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and my mediumship work (and my personal life) teaches me this all of the time. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. I’m great at biting my tongue and keeping the peace during the holidays. I ask Grace to wash over me, but thankfully I don’t have a temperament. However, I will exercise my Voice when necessary! To just…to just make the best out of the holiday season for my loved ones and for me to avoid unwanted ripple effects via my throat chakra.

Gazing at 2026. Oh lord up above! Jesus C! Twenty-Twenty-Six. What on Earth will this year bring?

2025 taught me a lot about conserving my energy and directing it to things suited to better my life. I’m out of the internet/social media frenzy. I couldn’t be bothered with podcasts or youtube videos or any form of influencer-content-creation. I have one or two podcasts I regularly listen to and I do watch maybe two youtube content creators’ videos…but that’s it. Don’t get me started on “spiritual” and “psychic” influencer content…99% of it is garbage.

I focus on what I enjoy and making the choices to better my life. I think we all know how we cannot control the world or others. We can only control how we react, respond, and decide to engage. I’m over trying to learn about XYZ in the world…trying to be “hip” to all the “latest news”. I want to focus on my loved ones, my direction in life, and being in the present moment without stupid, senseless distraction and meaningless “content”.

 I’ve fallen more in love with my work and my skills in 2025 especially now that I structured my practice even more to align with my healthy boundaries, criteria, and broadcasting to the people I want to read. My refined reading process, the pre-reading notes, have ignited more of a passion for reading people since it makes me feel like I’m honed in on the client and the energy surrounding XYZ. I’m caring less about what/who XYZ is doing and I removed most of my comparison traps. This is my Practice and this is how I want to work in the world.

Spirit Demonstrations make my heart flutter! I’ve only done two and its not like they are packed full of people. If one person signs up then I will honor their decision and I will read for the person. Donating my time and skills through a form of volunteer work was a goal of mine so I’m glad that I found a way to create an opportunity to do so in the context/framework that I am comfortable.

Yesterday…whispers from Higher Mind told me to look at the music place I used to take piano lessons. I’ve had dreams of the piano…I severely miss taking lessons and playing regularly. I stopped lessons back in late spring of 2025 due to XYZ after 1.5 years of lessons. Well….I decided to take them again! I’ve been playing the piano the last two days and I haven’t lost everything that I worked toward in practice and in lessons. I LOVE PLAYING THE PIANO. Friday night lessons? Sign me up! Its not like I “go out” on Friday evenings anyway. I’d rather spend my Fridays bettering my piano skills with an instructor. The store I chose to go for lessons ended up having a 4 package lesson deal that was on sale which ended that day so I feel like this was a Direction from Higher Mind. My fucking god, I love the piano.

2026 will have readings still. I will never not read. However, my schedule is more limited and I’m only releasing small blocks of time to schedule readings. I am making shifts and changes with my day job. This work really is like being a musician. Most musicians require a day job until enough steady work is on the table. I’d be more popular if I did XYZ and ABC, but I feel physically ill at the thought of having to do all that which I hate. So! Obviously…I need a day job to pay my bills and I’m looking into changing my current day job. I feel Change whirling around me so I don’t want to have my calendar open too far ahead in case my reading schedule changes and then I’d have to reschedule people.

2025 really made me value my life, my talents, and my time more than ever. This is my practice and it is what it is. Thankfully, I am serving clients who are aligned with my energy and my practice so I don’t need to justify XYZ. I admire people who value their talents enough to set up their services or their positions at work to align with their values and how they perceive the value of their skills/talents. It took a lot of inner work to get to where I am and I’m proud of my progress.

I’m still plant-based! Yup, returning to whole-foods plant-based diet back in May 2025 was super easy and maintaining that lifestyle was also super easy. I can’t believe its been this long! 7 months! I’m also still living a sober lifestyle – no alcohol and no cannabis. I can’t be bothered with substances anymore. April 2024 was the start of no longer consuming alcohol and April 2025 began no more consumption of cannabis.

Where oh where shall 2026 lead me? I’ll find out soon enough!
