Journaling with 'Soul'

Published: Wed, 11/19/25

Dear

On a Personal Note

Has the season changed much where you are? We've had such a mild autumn so far and suddenly, 2 nights ago, the temperature dipped below freezing. All our beautiful nasturtiums have hangy heads now. 😔

Part of me knows it's how nature works and it's perfectly normal - and another part of me experienced this as a sad loss. So many people stop by our wild garden to see what's flowering. An 90-yr old lady pops by every few days. It's really sweet to see how she enjoys them. Next up for me, then: a bit of tapping about the sadness I feel looking at so many little bent stems.

This year, I'm going to experience a very different Christmas season... I've been going to my mom in South Africa since 2021, and this year I'll enjoy a wintery, cosy UK Christmas because I visited her for her birthday in September.

I've become used to breaking up the long, dark UK winter through those glorious weeks in blazing SA sunshine in 30C (86 F) temperatures. So this year I'm rethinking how to 'break up' the long dark spell in different ways, and even celebrate it.

And that's what today's email will share a bit about. Journaling with my friend Kim Marie is one thing that will bring Light and Joy, especially in those darkest of days around the winter solstice.

On a Business Note:

Sacred Nights of Winter: Listening to Soul Language

"Your soul – that inner quiet space – is yours to consult.
It will always guide you in the right direction."

- Wayne Dyer -

If you love reflecting, the thought of listening to your Soul, and want to support a conscious business with heart and soul, I'd love to introduce you to my friend, Kim Marie's

Sacred Nights of Winter Journal

Each year’s journal has a different theme, and this 13th year’s is “Listening to Soul Language.”

Victoria Williams Steen, who created the beautiful journal artwork, finds inspiration in nature. Kim said in her recent newsletter: "Our Soul speaks to us through nature and the pure imagination of the child mind."

Nature talks to me so often on my walks, too, and I love hearing that "It's our Soul speaking to us".

How does the Sacred Nights of Winter work?

For 13 days and nights (Dec 24 to Jan 6), the Sacred Nights of Winter takes you on a journey through the darkest nights of the year when our Souls are most connected and receptive to our Inner Wisdom.

(And if you’re in the southern hemisphere with blazing sunshine – this can bring just as much nourishment and soul-food even though you’re not in the dark period).

In Kim's words:

"Winter sets us up so naturally for tuning into our inner world. Our Soul speaks to us most clearly during this time, yet most of us don't know how to listen.

Soul Language is varied, and different from the logical, reason-based, literal expressions we hear in the outer world. The Soul's language is more subtle, speaking to us through dreams, intuition, imagination, inspiration, artistry, beauty, creativity, story, and more.

This year's Sacred Nights of Winter Journal will guide you to hear your Soul's callings, align with your truest Self, and open to new possibilities. Our Soul, like the Sacred Feminine, has been subdued, oppressed, and diminished for too long, and it's time to allow Her to speak through us and create the change we long to see in our lives."

Included with this beautiful, full-colour journal (printed & shipped copy or digital download) is a community of kindred Souls on the journey. Kim shares added teachings and inspiration throughout the Sacred Nights in a private, safe haven away from social media.

You can find all the details below.

A note on the physical copy:

Shipping gets tricky towards the busy Christmas period, and might be unreliable to other countries after 1 December. If you’re outside of the US, perhaps the digital copy is a better idea if you order after 1 December. That is available right until the last minute.

If this is not for you, maybe you know someone who needs journaling and pausing this time of year? Please consider forwarding this.

I hope to see you on the Sacred Nights of Winter journey!
