Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. But this year, more than ever, I’m aware of how life keeps shifting — people move, relationships evolve, loved ones pass, and the familiar shape of our holiday changes with them. There’s a tenderness in that. A fragility. And, an invitation.
We’re living at a time when relationships are strained, attention is fractured, and everyone is “busy.” The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years have slowly drifted from meaning into performance — the perfect meal, the perfect outfit, the perfect post.
But perfection doesn’t nourish us. Presence does.
So, this Thanksgiving, whether you’re celebrating with family, chosen family, or spending time solo, I invite you to press pause.
Light a candle.
Name one thing — big or small — that you’re grateful for.
And if you’re able, offer something back: a food donation, a few hours helping at a community center, or simply a moment of kindness to someone who needs it.
This is how we rebuild connection — one tiny act of meaning at a time.
And how about this year, we shift the conversation from posting our plates on Instagram…to talking to each other?
Listening. Asking questions. Being fully in the room.
On Thursday, enjoy every bite, every hug — and try a simple practice I love:
Fast from complaining.
Just for the day.
See what changes inside you.

A Birthday Reset — And a Cosmic Invitation
Saturday is my birthday, and as many of you know, I treat every birthday as a cosmic reset button — a moment to step into the next chapter with intention.
My dear friend, the late astrologer Elizabeth Rose Campbell, once wrote this about Sagittarians, and I want to share it with you:
“Imagine yourself as a cosmic travel agent able to write yourself free tickets to any trip. As you write your own ticket, fears fall away about the unknowns involved.”
This is exactly my theme for 2026.
Let me be your Cosmic Travel Agent.
To help you release what no longer fits…
To open the door to what wants to arrive…
To step into the year with clarity, magic, vision, and renewed energy.
Book a reading or ritual session with me — especially if you're ready for a fresh direction, a spiritual reset, or a deeper connection to your purpose.
If you want this year to end with clarity — and 2026 to begin with intention — I’m here to guide you.
Let’s step into the next chapter together.
With love, wisdom, and deep gratitude,
With love,
Barbara
