The New Year, New You Project is an experiment in Magical Radical Transformation. Please see here for how to participate!
Please remember to leave a link here to your blog entry with your response to this prompt or an update on your own Experiment.
So, when we broke down your goals, part of the question was what are you going to do magically to make sure that your goals happened. This is the week to really focus on that. If you have a ritual you’ve been wanting to do to shore things up, do it. If you need to check in with your spirits on where you’re heading, get going. If you’ve hit a road block, break out your runes or tarot deck or whatever you use. If you’ve been meaning to meditate, go with Gaia.
If you need to cut ties with something or someone in your life, get to it. If you need to sweeten someone or something (bringing a new relationship into your life, a new job, etc), get to work. Mojo kind of weak lately? There’s an app for that.
You’ve been grinding for five weeks, your resolve may be wavering but you don’t have time for that. You’ve been working too hard to just give up now. You are a weaver of wonder, a dreamer of magic and in your tiny hands you possess the power to influence the universe in great and small ways. But if you can’t change your own life, how are you supposed to change the universe? It all starts with your resolve to use your magic. It’s your edge, your advantage in this world. Use it.
You can do this.

Boy this was a hard one to write. It's a radical change from my usual readership, I'm sure. Let's see how many of my readers I lose after this one.

Feedback, as you have time, is always appreciated.

[New Year, New You] Some Enchanted Evening – A blog in the manner of many things
[…] All of this, and watching the explosions unfold, and the rebuilding that I see others doing, and the healing, and the struggle to make sense of it all, and to get answers…has all taken a lot of time and energy. I don’t just mean my own; so many people have been affected by this and each of us has our own story. For my part, here especially, it’s a means of explaining to myself and anyone else reading this, why I haven’t kept up with the New Year, New You prompts. That all being said, I am back, bitches. And it’s incredibly fitting that I came back to it on the week after Deb had said we should do something nice for ourselves (I did) but now it’s all “back to work, bus slave.” […]
