Monthly Refresh: February 2024
“Because, Nora, sometimes the only way to learn is to live.”
- The Midnight Library
February was a roller coaster! Funerals, engagements, therapy, more independent driving (I’m getting more comfortable!), cavities, a date…
It’s really hit me this month how much I’d like life to change for me in the future. I’m ready for something daily, to bring money in, to have insurance, and to start paving a path for my own life.
I’m gonna be honest with you, I’m writing this newsletter last minute because I swear, every time I wanted to speak eloquently on a topic, it was while my hands were full or I was busy. Booo…
This leads me to share something with you I think you should know: I’m gonna try to post here on Substack whenever writings come to me. I TRULY appreciate any paid subbies who stick around when I share my best quality work! It’s honestly what I’m hoping to do. It’s what I want to deliver, and I can’t just force that. I’m going to stop forcing a schedule because even the faintest ones tend to fall through sometimes.
My brain just hasn’t been in the writing or creativity game lately. Some (VERY minor) health scares have made me want to focus on trying to figure out how I wanna live this life and create an income for myself.
What’s my path? What can I DO? I’ve felt lost and hopeless a lot this month, I’m not going to lie.
So this month’s Monthly Reset shouldn’t be too long.
A lot happened, but a lot didn’t, ya know?
Not much on my end! I’m slowly starting a journaling practice after I made a digital planner I couldn’t download. 🙃
What about you? What did you create last month?
Welcome to your monthly oracle pull! I pull two cards for you, and you quickly and intuitively choose the card you’re immediately drawn to. I love this as a practice for self-trust, and to help you target something(s) in your life that your oracle card choice may help you focus on more clearly.
And your card is…
A - SISTERHOOD OF THE ROSE
Where can you find and create more beauty in your life this month? How you can leave spaces for yourself and others more appealing than when you entered them? Think of your own personal space, your mind, and others in your life–strangers and loved ones!
B - PILLAR OF LIGHT
How can you trust yourself more this month? Remember how much more power you hold over your life than you probably were ever taught: how can you choose how you move through the world? How you react? Respond? Even how you move alongside strong emotions and make decisions for your life?
Do you need as much input as you think you do to make that next decision?
How did March’s oracle pull sit with you? Let me know in the comments!
I’m so close to finishing The Midnight Library (Bookshop affiliate link) and it’s pretty good. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about my despair-y moments lately, and this book has been good to read when I’ve been in the middle of my “what’s the point?” phases.
It’s a book about a woman who attempts to end her life, leaving her in limbo, in a library that never moves past midnight. In each book on the shelf, she’s able to try on new lives.
How does it end? I dunno! But it’s been making a lot of poignant points; it’s been an appreciative read.
I wanna hear the deets!
Let me know what creative celebrations YOU had last month!
Also, let me know how much your oracle pull for the month resonated with you.
