The 40-Day Loose Ends Practice

Open the Notes app on your phone and begin writing down every loose end you can think of (or open tabs… I have at least 50 at one time! A virgo’s worst nightmare! 🙈).

Nothing is too insignificant.

The laptop charger you still haven’t replaced.
The subscription you keep meaning to cancel.
The bloodwork or appointment you need to book.
That cupboard that needs clearing.
The email waiting for a reply.
The clothes you need to repair or donate.
The paperwork you’ve been avoiding.
The bigger decision you’ve kept postponing.

As well as the conversations you’ve been avoiding….
Someone you need to reply to
Someone you keep thinking of
Someone you could ask for a referral or introduction
A romantic/personal conversation that feels unfinished

Then, for the next 40 days, complete one thing each day.

You can do more if you’re on a roll, and keep adding to the list as things occur to you.
The size of the task isn’t really the point.
It’s what happens when those tiny open loops begin to disappear: a little more mental space, a little less background noise, a sense of movement where there had previously been stagnation, less trying to “remember” everything and most importantly making more time for presence.

Pisces Full Moon love notes…

Can you hold it all?

This full moon feels like an emptying out.
What are we holding in our hearts…and what might we need to release to give and receive more love?
What do I believe about happiness? About love? About how much goodness I’m allowed to have?
Sometimes, what blocks us isn’t the absence of what we desire. It’s our capacity to receive it when it arrives.
Can we truly receive the life we’ve been dreaming of?
What do you deserve to receive?
Perhaps the answer is simpler than we imagine: you don’t need to prove your worthiness. Being fully yourself is enough.
The Sun…our life force…doesn’t have to earn the right to shine. It simply does.

Pisces asks us to soften our grip and remember that faith in ourselves can be held by faith in something greater.

To remain open to the grace around us without retreating into bitterness or old stories. To feel the grief without allowing it to become our identity.

Pisces also invites forgiveness, not simply for the mistake, the hurt or the words exchanged, but for the belief that we were ever separate from love.
The belief that a mistake makes us unworthy. That another person’s actions can diminish who we are. That we must become something more before we are deserving of goodness.
Forgiveness brings us back to innocence: to the remembrance that beneath the stories, the self-judgement and the hurt, we still belong to something whole.

We are not the feeling.
We are the witness.
Let it move through you. Feel it, honour it… but don’t build a home inside it.
Pisces dissolves boundaries, making us more sensitive to the emotions of the collective.

So, as you hold the world, remember to ask:
What is truly mine to carry and what am I ready to release?

Friday Love Notes from Venice 💌

Venice reminded me that beauty was once considered essential to being human.

We built for it.
Painted for it.
Dressed for it.
Crossed entire cities to stand in front of it.

And somewhere along the way, beauty became something we were encouraged to be, rather than something we were encouraged to experience.

Walking through Venice this week, through galleries, churches, old pharmacies and streets that seem determined to remain beautiful, I kept thinking about the effect beauty has on the body.

What happens to us when we stop and really look at something?

When colour moves us.
When music changes our breathing.
When architecture makes us look upwards.
When a painting makes us feel something we can’t quite explain.

Perhaps beauty isn’t frivolous at all.

Perhaps it is part of how we flourish.

One of the ideas I’m bringing home with me is a desire to explore the body through art again. Before medicine and art became such separate worlds, the human body was something artists, physicians and philosophers were all trying to understand.

The heart wasn’t only an organ.
The body wasn’t only a machine.
Beauty wasn’t only appearance.

There is something here I want to keep following.

So, a little Venus-day note from Venice:

Seek out what makes you feel more alive.
That is part of your health, too. 🌹

You give before you receive.
You nurture without guarantees.
You trust the seasons to meet you halfway.
Maybe that’s why every civilisation has honoured those who tend to the land.
It teaches us the quiet courage of showing up, even when nothing is visible yet.
You’re dependent on nature and you’re own nature (Prakriti).
