The Six of Wands…

I like to think of the days between the holidays and the New Year as time set aside for magic-making—a liminal space, a kind of netherworld where we can slip into quiet pockets of reflection and restoration. Here, we disappear just long enough to prepare ourselves to reenter the world with clarity, grounding, and an open heart.

Welcome to day one of your journey into the magic days. Today, let’s pause to reflect on the successes of the past year. Even in the face of challenges, there were moments when we defied the odds and allowed ourselves to shine. Some victories were witnessed and celebrated; others arrived softly, almost unnoticed. All matter.

Take time to honor yourself for showing up with heart, for rising—again and again—like the phoenix you are. Shine a light on every win and let yourself revel in them. As we prepare for the New Year, let this journey begin with self-recognition and deep appreciation.

“Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” — Maya Angelou
