Thanks for this reminder that the comic archetype helps to hold us steady. Yes! In the weeks leading up the election, The Daily Show (and Desi Lydic in particular) was saving my bacon. I need to get back to regularly feeding my soul in this way. Thank you again & wishing you a wonder & prosperity in this new year, too.
One of my new moon and 2025 intentions was to “have total clarity in setting appropriate goals that lead to success in the areas I desire” and today your post resonated so hard along with the upright Fool card I pulled earlier today. Subscribing was just the first step to leaping into the unknown. And with yesterday's Oracle card that i pulled for what i needed to focus on right now, “LISTEN”, I now realize that along with your advice to wait on creating goals and to do lists until the first circle of the year, I need to spend the time just reflecting and listening, and hold off on jumping into goal planning and an updated vision board so I can have better clarity on the appropriate goals for me. 🤍
Oh I am SO excited you are here and we get to reconnect and share wisdom with each other. What has been coming up for me all day, and it may sound cliché but the question is what brings you bliss? Such an important question to ask before we get on the goal train. And as I am sitting here in reflection and contemplation I am realizing more and more that "goals" may not be in my vocabulary this year. And the astrology is pointing to (yes it will be a crazy year) but it is all about the preparation for some even larger shifts in 26. Last year I took one of my messages and went down a more goal oriented path around it...yet realized early on that was not the right path, so instead I just sat in the mud. Now I have a re-generated idea of what that word and directive means...so I will be carrying over some things with new insight and energy. And rather than set goals the intention may be to(not sure yet) magnetize what is for me without too much much forcing or pushing, but also not doing "nothing" which I felt like 24 had a lot of, despite realizing on my year end reflection there WAS indeed a lot of foundation setting, now it seems like since I have created the container I can go deeper into my magic and creativity to prepare for the space I will need to hold for others out in the world going into 26. I hope you can make Monday's circle, I really want to see you! This is new so it could be two of us or 10, who knows.
Girl! I was just looking at a marketing ops Sr mgr role on LI that I'm considering applying for after asking myself (before seeing your reply here), "What part of marketing do you find more enjoyment from? The creative process or the analytical data process?" And I've noted it down for further exploration before I start applying.
mmm I know what I know about you. But I wonder what the very first thing your intuition says when you ask that question. Or conversely still do a collage or creative practice with that question in your heart, and then intuitively pull images you are drawn to without questioning them. Put a timer on for 10-15 minutes and just start gathering images. Glue them down. See what story unfolds.
Ha! 444 (time I posted) meaning just confirms that I WILL BE successful in making a big decision, progressing toward goals, and I am gaining more control over my life. And indeed I am gaining more control this year!
Also to toss in the numbers and "preparation", this is a 9 year. The end of a cycle. And 9 is "birth/rebirth". So it is a preparation and a time of transformation and integration.

I wish you a wonderful year as well. And yes to the Daily Show. Thank YOU for that reminder.
