Welcome to our mid-October issue, although I’m not sure quite where the time is going!
This issue feels full of meaning, which I hope you will all enjoy. Mother Earth is settling into her usual October wisdom, reminding us to slow down, take care, and remember what matters most.
Our focus in this issue has been on living more consciously: not just in thought or spirit, but in the actual everyday choices that we make. From what we buy to how we recycle, each action carries energy, and each one can bring us a little closer to harmony with the planet we call home.
You’ll find some awareness days too, that you can celebrate and do something practical to help the planet.

What does this quote mean to you? Think about whether you agree or disagree, and if there is anything you can do today to make your footsteps on Earth a little lighter.
This Week’s Video
This week, I’ve recorded a brand-new 27-minute guided meditation to help you slow down and reconnect with the quiet wisdom within. It’s designed to help you connect with your true nature, and to align your desired future self with your present self.
It’s gentle, nurturing, and perfect for days when you feel the world spinning a bit too fast. You can watch it now on YouTube, and I recommend setting aside half an hour where you won’t be disturbed. Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down, put on some headphones, listen and breathe.
And please do let me know what you think in the comments on YouTube. Writing comments (hopefully positive ones), clicking LIKE and SUBSCRIBE really do help YouTube see that our content is useful and then they show it to others.
The theme running through everything this edition is simple: from sustainable living to soul connection… When we act with awareness, we live in alignment.
Thank you for being part of this growing circle of conscious creators. Together, our small choices create ripples of big change.
