I am, once again, amazed at the accuracy of today’s cards. Like the Halloween cards, the Yule cards are more Oracle style than tarot and I think you’re going to enjoy those. If you would like me to pull cards for you from any of the decks, Let me know. I can send you the decks that I have and you can pick. I will either send it to you privately or if you want to do it on Thursday with everyone present we can. 😇 block out distractions- if you have seen any of my posts recently, I have been talking about ending the year, strong the way that YOU want to end it. “… take charge of your schedule and working environment….” Goes so well with this. 📝 I am the master of my fate and captain of my keyboard. Again, this goes so well with us being in charge of the way we do our business and books. 🎄9 of canes/swords … re-evaluate what you need to do, want to do, and what is expected…” What do these cards bring up for you? I’m loving these cards so much. The book is a solid half inch with gorgeous color illustrations and the set came in a beautiful box.

Dec 11 2025 Wrap We're going to begin the review and reflection of 2025 in preparation for our planning session the first week of January. These are the workbook pages we will be using. My original plan was to discuss writing retreats but since I've been sick all week, I'm going to share the blog I was working on instead. AND, if for some reason I am not well tomorrow, you will have "homework" to work on. 😘 I'm hoping to also have some January post prompts to you soon. Stay tuned.

Yeah!!! Now onto chapter 10 during Arden’s retreat on Sunday! Thanks again Arden for hosting us 🥰

Here's what I have listed as potential topics for 2026. Feel free to list more ideas or make some comments/feedback in the comments section below. I will work on massaging the list by the end of the year: Cabin Fever- Back to Biz Basics in January most likely Passive/other author income I'd still like to teach some FB/Amazon ads if they ever stop changing so much Tech month- specifically graphics and video Events/Podcasts- finding them, guesting, etc. Tik Tok $ on the Clock - if they're still around... how to make $ there Hybrid vs Self Publishing Vs Trad Published- what to look out for Beyond the 'Zon- various other options Launching Lessons In person meetup- I'd still love to do a couple of nights someplace sometime but also just generally at least have 2 in person meetings next year in this area That's the current plan. Let me know if you have other ideas/suggestions.
