Hi Reader,

It's officially October! I'm so excited! My Octobers are always busy and if you're not following me on Instgram, make sure you hop on that crazy train, because I'm taking you with me to all the events I'll be working, shopping, attending, and volunteering at throughout the month.

October brings the energy of transitions. Although autumn technically began in September, we're starting to feel it this month. The leaves are shifting from green to red, yellow, orange, and brown. The crows are calling to each other. The squirrels are frantically gathering the last of their acorns for the coming winter months.

And we get to enjoy all that nature and take a deep breath before the hustle and bustle of holiday season and all the obligations at the end of the year emerge.

Use this time to get cozy, take care of yourself, and spend time with your journal, a new book, or your favorite horror movie.

You don't have to go, go, go all the time. In fact, autumn is your invitation to slow it down a bit - even if this is your busy season. Indulge in those in-between moments of peace and calm.

This week's C.H.A.R.M.: a little magick for your everyday life

Cooking → Recipes or food rituals you may enjoy.
​🍳I just finished making my yearly batch of Fire Cider. I don't really use a recipe anymore, but if you want one, here's a good one. I follow my intuition each year and this year, I added saffron! Then I looked up the correspondences: happiness, abundance, love, protection.

Healing → Wellness practices, nervous system resets, or self-care.
​🧘🏻‍♀️I'm stretching my legs to get out in community with likeminded folks more often. Last weekend, I attended an event for local progressives and there were even DOGS! Intentional social connection is so important for your mental health.

Admiring → People, art, or beauty that inspires me this week.
​The Maher sisters - Ilona, Olivia & Adrianna. Their podcast is a simple joy in my week!

Reading → Current books, articles, or Substacks I'm loving.
​Katabasis by R. F. Kuang. OMG I'm hooked. I have to figure out how to pack the big ol' hardback in my carry-on next week...

Magick → Rituals, astrology, energy tools to add to your toolbox.
​I've started carrying around my pocket-sized journal to jot down quick notes, insights, poetry, and spells. It's also a great place to stash stickers I seem to always pick up at local coffee shops and bars.
