“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman
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 7. Bluebird Spirit – HAPPINESS
2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.
December is a month for Transforming Your Art – the way you show up in the world, your creative self expression, your career, and the way you communicate. It’s a great month for intuition, inspiration and creativity, and for planning the year ahead. December is also a month for celebration, reflection and connection.
💖Monday Oracle: Choose What Makes You Come Alive
This week arrives with a lightness we’ve been craving — a soft, sparkling invitation to step out of survival mode and into something brighter, richer, and more you.
After a long stretch of heaviness, healing, recalibration and inner work, the energies now encourage something beautifully simple:
Take time for happiness.
Yes — even in the middle of everything.
Yes — even when life is messy.
Yes — especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed or uncertain about what comes next.
Happiness isn’t frivolous.
It’s fuel.
And right now, your soul needs that fuel more than ever.
A Week for Charting Your Next Path
This is a magnificent week for planning, dreaming, mapping out projects, or quietly plotting a new direction. Your intuition and imagination are working in tandem, and when that happens, ideas land fast and inspiration flows easily.
Don’t worry about the “how” yet.
This is about giving yourself permission to dream again.
Write it down.
Sketch it.
Vision board it.
Talk it through with someone you trust.
Daydream about it while you’re cooking or pottering.
The Universe is wide open right now, and it’s listening!
Celebrate, Connect, Recharge, Nourish
These energies are beautifully social and beautifully introspective. It doesn’t matter which way you swing — both are supported.
✨ If you’re craving people:
Spend time with the ones who love you. Celebrate the small things. Share a meal. Share a laugh. Let connection refill your cup.
✨ If you’re craving solitude:
Give yourself permission to withdraw and nurture yourself. Sleep in. Stay up late listening to music. Watch something comforting. Journal. Cook something nourishing. Make space for the things that soften your edges.
Happiness can be found in loud moments or quiet ones. What matters is that it feels true for you.
Ideas, Insights & Breakthroughs Are Everywhere
The veil is thin this week, in the best possible way. Expect:
• flashes of inspiration
• sudden clarity
• solutions that appear out of nowhere
• innovations that make everything feel easier
• “Ohhhh… now I understand!” moments
Creativity is humming. Magic is humming.
You might surprise yourself with how much flows through you when you stop forcing and start enjoying.
Return to Your Craft. Return to Your Magic. Return to Yourself.
This week is potent for anything creative, spiritual, expressive or soul-led.
Whether you’re an artist, writer, maker, cook, healer, gardener, musician, intuitive — or someone who simply longs to reconnect with that spark — now is your time.
Pick up the project you abandoned.
Try something new.
Make something messy.
Make something joyful.
Make something that doesn’t need to be perfect.
Your creativity is your life force.
Let it breathe.
Memories as Medicine
You may find yourself revisiting happy memories, not out of nostalgia but out of recognition. These moments can remind you of what lights you up, what nourishes you, what feels meaningful, what you’ve forgotten you loved.
Allow these memories to guide you toward what you want to create next.
Let the past inform the future in a hopeful, loving, inspired way.
And while you’re there:
Make new memories too.
Ones that your future self will look back on and say, “That was a turning point. That was when things began to shift.”
✨ The Week Ahead
This week is a gentle celebration of being alive; a soft reawakening of joy, purpose, creativity and connection.
A reminder that you’re allowed to feel good.
That you’re allowed to make space for pleasure.
That you’re allowed to follow what brings you back to yourself.
Choose what makes you feel alive.
Choose what makes you feel hopeful.
Choose what makes you feel you.
You’ve earned it.
🌟 Top Tip of the Week:
Make space for joy — on purpose.
Schedule one small thing each day that nourishes your spirit: a swim, a walk, a favourite song, a craft session, a quiet coffee, a chapter of a book, or time with someone you love. Treat your happiness like a sacred appointment, and show up for yourself with the same commitment you offer everyone else.

🧁Nicole Update
Here at the Treehouse, it’s been a big, sun-drenched, storm-spiced week filled with equal parts joy, exhaustion, creativity and contemplation. We had our little Work Christmas Breakup Party on Thursday — just Ben, Rufie Dog and me, carrying a succulent Chinese meal up to Simone’s house, where Mum also joined us. It was simple, lovely, and exactly the kind of peaceful togetherness my soul needed. The office is now officially closed until the New Year, although I’m still here blogging, crafting courses and quietly working on other projects behind the scenes. (Creators don’t really “clock off,” do we?)
And yes… I am still in Facebook Jail.
Suspended. Again.
It’s annoying, but also oddly liberating. It has pushed me to explore new platforms, new ways of staying connected, new creative pathways, and honestly, it’s starting to feel less like a punishment and more like a gentle redirection from the Universe. If you need me, Instagram is behaving, NicoleCodyWrites and CauldronsAndCupcakes and you can always email me at admin@nicolecody.com.
Between everything else, the heat has been intense, and I’ve been in and out of the pool multiple times a day — mornings, afternoons, evenings. I swear I’m powered by some recessive mermaid gene at this point. There is nothing like that first swim before sunrise after meditating and writing; the birds are all singing happily and the water feels like a blessing, washing away my fatigue and leaving me refreshed and ready to start the day. In the afternoons, Ben and I have been watching the cricket (well… he watches, I float in and out while catching up on reading). It’s been very companionable.
Speaking of fatigue, exhaustion slammed into me like a sledgehammer this week. I’ve been going to bed ridiculously early and rising before the sun, which I think my body has needed. My heart specialist told me in no uncertain terms that I must slow down, rest more, and significantly reduce my stress. So I’m trying. Truly. It’s confronting, but it’s necessary.
In the midst of all that, I’ve been working on The Sacred Journey, my big year-long spiritual deep-dive course. It started as something I was building just for myself, then for my Inner Circle, and now… I’m wondering if some of you might need it too. It’s beautiful, powerful, and unlike anything I’ve ever created. I can’t wait to share more.
Christmas preparations are underway here too. Our menu is looking delicious: local seafood, a barbeque, fresh salads, a homemade pavlova topped with juicy fruit, and rum balls to finish. It feels wild that the year is nearly done.
Yesterday, on the Solstice, I completed my Helpful Energies 2026 – 10 Card Spread (page 20 of The Journeymaker’s Planner). It left me feeling so buoyed and hopeful. I’m looking forward to diving deeper into those messages over the next few days.
My wish for each of you is simple: may you find moments of rest, nourishment, connection, creativity and peace in the days ahead. The Festive Season can be joyful, but it can also be hard. Please know that I hold you in my daily thoughts, prayers and meditations.
You matter to me.
And I am so grateful to be sharing this journey with you.
With love,
Nicole xx
