Happy solar new year from Melanie
Dear friends,
Happy new year (in the solar calendar)!
Last night, dense stratus clouds obscured the emerging crescent moon. I searched the sky for signs of moonlight, but the clouds and city were too dense, too bright. This past year has been much like that — searching, trusting that light will emerge. Returning to the light inside of me, even in clouds of anxiety and loneliness.
How are you, dear one? What is your internal weather? Wherever you are in the world, I hope you are safe, healthy, and happy enough — knowing love and finding light in yourself and the people around you. Please let me know if I can help; I can offer poems, crafts, and books and will do my best with other things.
If you are curious, here is my annual love letter to self. May it nourish you as it has nourished me in writing it!

I’m sending this email from a new platform these days (Substack instead of TinyLetter). I hope the reading experience is simple and easy. My intention is to send letters every few months; please feel free to engage or unsubscribe as you like.
I send my love and best wishes for this new year.
Melanie
