Hi Becky! I really enjoyed reading this and without really knowing the details have watched you open up and embrace this full, rich life that you describe here. That makes me happy. Xx

Hi Becky, I was really enjoying this newsletter and making my way through your recommendations and saw you kindly included Tough Love ❤️ Thank you! I'm embracing a very very slow January 🦥

I confess I tried to have an Instagram break and deleted the app and then kept logging into it via my chrome 🥴 but was still nice and so with you on savouring. Sending love 💕

Thank you for taking the time to share all of this Becky. I acknowledge and appreciate the time and effort it takes to create. I also moved towns in Sept/Oct time and know someone else who happened to move then too... I wonder how many other souls transitioned during this time. Transitioning feels like a universal theme in 2023 - from one identity to another. In my experience the dark night of the soul happens many times in one’s life. We have no choice but to surrender to the meltdown that is taking place so we can be born again and rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. I did a post full of reflections from 2023 that I feel you’d enjoy. Would love to know what you think: https://open.substack.com/pub/soulwisdom/p/being-and-becoming?r=a9uns&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Thank you for taking the time to read it all Becky. Very grateful for you. Do you have a word that resonates for this year?

I’m yet to choose a word of the year as I’m stepping slowly into the year and planning to set 2024’s intention by spring. When you asked, the word Love sprang to mind though. I’ve been listening to your beautiful playlist today Vipul. Thank you 🙏

If you dont have one thats ok too. But the word Love is a beautiful one and even if that changes by the Spring that’s ok too! If Love visited you today what areas of your life would you want her to bless? And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the playlist! It’s wonderful isn’t it ❤️

I think everything is love so everything. I’m doing some reflections on the train now so may come up with my word soon. Are you coaching me in the comments Vipul? 😉
