January’s End

January’s ending soon and I am reminded of how much has occurred in 31 days.

I began a new part-time job at the beginning of the month; freezing temperatures kept everyone inside; I completed four books and an audiobook; I underwent a psychological examination I scheduled back at the end of the summer; I find myself returning to community college thanks to social work funding; and I’ve been sick for two weeks.
What the heck, Danielle? Did you think you could swing all this in one month?
Last spring I created this Substack account because I wanted to merge all my worlds, personalities, and muses. And in typical me fashion, this account was blank because poverty got in the way. Or at least, I let that happen.
I’ve been blogging on WordPress for 10 years now but for the last 4 years, I’ve completely fallen by the wayside. The pandemic came and went and I find that recovering has been a longer process than I thought. Over the past four years though, there’s been a spiritual evolvement that threw me for a loop. Paganism.

So I write this to thank the universe for motivating me to write while I use the library’s Dell Computer and the yellow keyed keyboard. The view on my right is gorgeous- sunshine and no clouds in sight. It’s above sixty degrees outside and you couldn’t tell that Mid-Winter is on its way. This week I asked the Universe’s advice for writing this week. There are writing goals that I have along with ways I can use my words to encourage others to come out of their shell. The Tarot Card I pulled was The High Priestess.

She’s a major arcana with wisdom within her bones and intuition flowing through her blood. She’s got the Universe on her side, as she sits between two pillars: one that’s black and one that’s white. This card tells me to follow my intuition and let the words flow. AKA what’s going on right now in Aquarius season-
Here I am, showing up for myself after years of hiding.
Welcome home, Danielle.

Note: I re-uploaded this on 01.11.2025 to WordPress because RIP substack. more on that in a future post!
