This roundup feels like care rather than curation. The tone makes space for low energy, mixed moods, and different nervous systems without turning it into a problem to solve. I like how you normalize pacing, retreat, and inconsistency while still offering genuinely useful pathways for connection and learning. It reads like someone saying “you’re allowed to take what you need and leave the rest,” which is rare and needed, especially after the holidays.

Of course! I really loved your post about the winter solstice. But not just because of that. As a child my family was in a religious group where we weren't allowed to celebrate anything. As an adult I learned to connect to the roots a bit more and celebrate the Christmas season a bit more atheistic neo-paganist.😅 Celebrating the solstice now for the third year in a row.

I also left you a sub. Keep up the wonderful writing and sharing of your story. 🫶
