“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world:
someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”

Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using the The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn, illustrated by Scott Breidenthal, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 49.Wise Woman of the Grove – GRACE
2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.
November is a month for Transforming Your Home and Community. It’s a great month for renovations and those touches that make a house feel like a home, for spending time with the people and community groups that you love, and for embracing action and activism, especially if that’s moving you closer to your dream life. Practice gratitude and giving back. Be open to offers of help too!
🌸 Monday Oracle: Finding Your Joy
This week, the Universe opens the door to joy, creativity, and new beginnings.
It’s a time for rediscovering what makes your heart light up — for reconnecting with the passions, projects, and ideas that once filled you with excitement. Some dreams didn’t take off before because the timing wasn’t right. But now? The energy has shifted. This is the moment to dust them off, breathe life into them, and let them shine again.
🌿 The Return of Inspiration
Joy often hides in the small, familiar things — a half-finished project, a forgotten hobby, a spark of curiosity that never quite went out.
This week invites you to pick something up that once made you feel alive.
✨ Revisit old ideas with new eyes.
✨ Sign up for that class or workshop.
✨ Learn a new skill.
✨ Share what you know — teach, write, create.
Your creativity is calling, and this time, the Universe is ready to meet you halfway.
💫 Messages from Spirit and Dreams
Pay attention to your dreams and the signs around you this week. Loved ones and ancestors may reach out through synchronicities, song lyrics, numbers, or sudden memories. Their message is simple: you’re supported, you’re loved, and you’re never walking alone.
Trust those intuitive nudges. They’re your compass leading you toward the things that will bring you the most joy, growth, and peace.
🌙 Reflection Prompt
What old dream or creative idea am I ready to breathe life into again?
✨ Ritual: The Joy Jar
-
Find a jar or small bowl.
-
Each day this week, write one small thing that brought you joy — a song, a conversation, a kind moment, or a spark of inspiration.
-
By week’s end, read your notes and see how much light surrounds you.
Joy grows when you notice it. 🌸

💛 Closing Thought
This week is a celebration of renewal — a reminder that joy, creativity, and connection are never lost, only waiting to be rediscovered.
Follow the spark. Trust your gifts.
Let joy lead the way.
🌟 Top Tip of the Week:
Joy loves attention — give it some.
This week, make space for what delights you. Dust off an old project, return to a hobby, or follow that new idea tugging at your sleeve. Even ten minutes of joyful focus can shift your energy and restore your spark.
Crystals to support you this week – Amethyst, Citrine, Sunstone, Snowflake Obsidian, Carnelian, Clear Quartz
😊 Nicole Update
So, maybe I’m unrealistic.
My doctors think so. My husband thinks so. My natural therapists think so. My family and friends think so.
Maybe you do too.
Why? I finished six months of brutal chemotherapy and ten months of chemo/lyme drug intensive treatment a week ago AND I keep thinking to myself, Why aren’t I feeling better yet? In fact, on some days, I’ve actually felt WORSE. My bones hurt, my teeth hurt, my fingernails and toenails hurt, my scalp is tender, and my gut feels like it’s gone ten rounds with a boxer pounding on it. I’m so frustrated. And sore. And tired. And a bit cranky sometimes too, if I’m being totally honest.
I know, I know. Rest. Patience. Etcetera, etcetera.
Am not very patient, but I’m trying!
I do have lots of things that are helping manage the cranky, thank goodness. Meditation, time in nature, swims in the pool, and giftwrapping orders. I love to do that – to write you a card and giftwrap your Planner or other bits and pieces, and to sprinkle a little extra love into your parcel before I send it on its way to you.
I’m 22,067 words into my new novel, and it’s going really well, even if my heroine is being badly behaved and refusing to be corralled into the plot I’d planned for her. If you want to hear more about my writing, come join me on my new Facebook Page – Nicole Cody Writes I’d love you to follow me there. I also have a new Instagram account with the same name.
This week I hope you’re able to find a little time to connect with a creative project, or a hobby you love. Cooking, surfing, dancing, cranking up an excellent playlist, coffee and a book in your favourite cafe. It’s the little things in life that make it so sweet.
If this post speaks to you, share it with someone who needs a little spark of joy this week — and tag me so I can celebrate your creativity too! 💖
Sending love, chai tea, and Christmas baking plans, Nicole xx
