“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”

Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using the Sacred Power Reading Cards by Anna Stark, illustrated by Louis Dyer, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is CHANGE
2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.
April is a month for connection to heart and home, to finding the sacred in the ordinary, for focusing on what matters most to you.
CHANGE
This week we are reminded that change is possible.
This is a great week for transformation.
You could step into a space of positive change with your health, your business, your relationship, your financial situation, your career, or so many other things.
All of the energies this week support shift, change and growth.
But there’s one thing you need to use as a magical key to unlock the block that has been holding you back – just one thing that can change everything…
You need to act!
No matter how stuck you feel right now, how burdened, or exhausted, or unhappy, know that it will not last. Nothing lasts forever. Everything changes. While that is also true of our fondest moments and happiest times, it is usually when we are stuck deep down some hole, helpless and hopeless, that we most need to be reminded of this eternal truth.
If there is no glimmer of light where you are, then look inside yourself. Use the light of your own heart to guide you. Use the heat of your own love to warm you. Hang on. Take courage. Rest, and then do whatever is within your ability without breaking yourself or exhausting yourself. Get through things the best way you can.
As the earth revolves, and the sun goes up and down, eventually there will be a ray of light again to illuminate your world, a helping hand to lift you up, or an idea in your mind that will elevate you from where you are right now.
Everything changes. There is a season for all things. If your time to shine is not yet, then know that it WILL come. And if your time to shine is here, then see how many other lives you can illuminate. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
Most importantly, stop looking back. Cast your eyes forward to where you want to go. Find a dream, even the smallest of dreams or hopes, and let it guide you forward. Change is inevitable, so help it to work in your favour.
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead:
Even the smallest step this week can lift you out of stuckness. In fact smaller steps are great. It’s the bigger actions that usually through us into overwhelm. So choose something and begin.
Imagine if that one tiny action changed everything for you?
It could, so let’s do it!
Crystals to support you this week – Amethyst, Sodalite, Carnelian, Turquoise, Jade, White or Blue Howlite
Meanwhile, here at the Treehouse…
We’ve been without internet or phone for a few days – which made life interesting, but also really quiet and stress-free. It finally got restored late on Sunday, hence being able to post a blog for you.
The vomiting finally caught up to me on my new drugs too, but at least my head is in a better place. I just find myself so very, very tired. And teary. Crying in the shower is my go-to, or in the pool. Our pool is FREEZING but within five minutes of being in the water my nausea and pain are significantly more manageable, so yay for that. Wild child that I am, I’m eating dinner at 4pm most days and I’m in bed by seven. Sometimes earlier. Getting out of bed each morning is also a struggle, but that’s just how it is right now.
But I’m getting a little writing done each day. The Planner for 2026 is looking beautiful – although I’ll have to make some decisions soon about how to produce and sell it based on Trump’s new tariffs potentially affecting both production and supply chain – an unexpected hiccup that’s making many things uncertain right as I need to be finalising everything! I promise I’ll find solutions.
I’m still making soup. I’m napping and creating. I’m managing a few clients. Even if it’s only one or two tiny things I get to cross off my running sheet each day, it’s such a mental boost to be able to do that. Plus it takes my mind off all this awfulness. (If that’s not a word, it should be!)
Below, you’ll see a picture of the sliding glass door in my writing room/office.
It might look like prayer flags, but it’s not!
It’s a post-it note scene-by-scene editing map of a novel I’m working on.
And that, my friends, feels like progress to me.
I’m about a quarter of the way through the process, and gee, it’s the best medicine for my soul right now.
That, and ginger tea and hugs from Ben and puppy cuddles.
