May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire.

Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using Wishcraft Oracle by Stacey Demarco, with artwork by Elizabeth Tiethoff, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to welcome in the New Year and guide us for the week ahead is 7. HOPE JAR
2024 is a year for fresh starts, for creativity, healing and social connection. It’s a year for ambitious projects and for getting stuff done.
January is a month for taking stock of your current position, for dreaming, for making plans and for creating solid beginnings towards the things you want.
7. HOPE JAR
It’s a week for reconnecting to optimism, and of making wishes and plans for your future. Even if it feels like hope has been so far away in your life. Even if you have been in the depths of hurt or despair.
The truth of your life is that you have YOU, and you can be a friend to yourself, a companion to yourself, an advocate and caregiver for yourself. Inside you is still a spark of love and light, and this week helps you kindle that spark into a stronger flame.
It’s a week for saying YES to your hopes and dreams, and letting the Universe know what lights you up.
Here’s a simple affirmation technique that can truly align you with abundance, and magnetise you to the things you desire to make manifest in your life.
Are you ready?
Say… YES. Yes to that thing you want.
Say it out loud. Say it with gusto. Say it with conviction. Say it often. Let it build up the positive energy and momentum in your life.
If it feels right, say a string of yeses, listing things you wish to experience more of in your life. Align yourself to your heart’s calling.
YES to love.
YES to better health.
YES to a great new job.
YES to the debt paid off.
YES to the business success.
YES to passing that exam with flying colours.
YES to learning to knit.
YES to hot yoga classes.
YES to that vacation you’ve always wanted to take.
YES! Yes to whatever lights you up. Yes to the outcome you desire. Yes to your greatest dreams and your smallest wishes. Yes, even if it scares you a bit. Yes, even if you don’t know how you’re going to make it happen.
The energy now is one of quickening. Thoughts can become things so much more easily. When we say yes we are welcoming that thing, we are inviting that thing, we are aligning with that thing.
Resistance melts away. The gap between our disbelief and our desire diminishes with every heartfelt yes. We become comfortable with this new possibility. We step closer to it. It draws closer to us. And then it appears in our lives.
Yes!
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead:
Say yes.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes to what you want.
Try it. It’s easy, and it works.

Here at the Treehouse I’m waiting for a fine day to do my washing – it’s been a very wet summer so far. Still warm enough for swims and beach walks, and with little patches of sunshine, but not the kinds of days where you can hang your washing on the line with the confidence that it won’t be wetter than when you hung it out a few hours later due to scudding showers and tropical storms. Each night I am serenaded by thunder, lightning, rain on the roof, and then by tree frogs and rocket frogs, and by the squeaky chatter of bats in the palm trees and the old fig tree outside our bedroom whenever the rain lets up.
As you know, I’ll be heading off on a vacation of my own soon – a lovely cruise with Ben around Tasmania and New Zealand. I’m trying to manage my excitement. I have so many things to organise or complete before we go. Rest assured though, I’ll be finish up work a few days before we leave so that I will have time to pack and welcome in our house sitter, and get myself in holiday mode. I’m usually still working as I dash out the door, still answering messages on the ride to the airport, still working and emailing and blogging right through my vacation. But not this time. This time I’m giving myself a proper break.
Before we head off on our adventure I’m having a sale. I want to clear out some space in my packing room, and get all these beautiful things off the shelves and out into the world where they can do some good and work a little positive magic. My Planner will support you to create a year more focused on yourself, your intuition, self-care and your hopes and dreams. My Manifesting Mandalas Colouring Book and Course will help you to reconnect with your Inner Child and creative flow, to manifest your intentions, and to call forth support and assistance from the Universe.
If you head over to Amazon Australia and Amazon USA and look for the coupons you’ll find one for 35% off my Journeymaker’s Planner 2024. There’s also free shipping for Amazon Prime members.
Over at my Etsy store almost everything is discounted between 25% to 50% between now and January 18, 2024. Now’s your chance to grab a discounted Planner or Manifesting Mandala Colouring Book and Course (hard copy or digital), a journal, some crystal bracelets or mala beads, essential oils or a special meditation crystal. After that I’ll be pausing the store while I am on vacation, and it won’t reopen again until late February, so please be aware of that.
If you purchase the Planner or the Manifesting Mandala Colouring Book and online course you will also be eligible to watch the replay of my recent Masterclasses. (You can find details about that here.)
Meanwhile, make a wish. Think of something you’d like to experience, be, do or have. Say yes to it! Trust in good outcomes.
Love, fairy lights, croaky green tree frogs, steaming mugs of chai tea and gentle morning rain, Nicole xx
Hi Nicole, you and Ben have a wonderful time and I wish health and safe journey to you. We were recently in NZ; last time 30 years ago and had a marvellous time – missed a lot of the the heat here and enjoyed incredible blue skies and pleasant days. I wish the same for you. I can feel your excitement – anticipation is half the holiday. Take care
Thank you for another bloody wonderful post
