Hello my friend,
Thank you for being here.
This February marks a big gate for Postcards from Invisible Journeys -
a full year of writing to you, my invisible pen pal!
(If you’ve been here from the beginning, then you really have come…Full Circle with me! Thank you!)
I learned so much through a year of exploration and sharing with you here, and I am excited to share what I plan for the year ahead, which I’m calling:
- Second Season -
Second chances feel so good.
Writings will continue to come in two forms…
Postcards - The Invisible Journey
As always, I will be sharing short stories of invisible journeys, unseen characters, and just-below-the-surface landscapes on an unplanned, only as inspired basis (that’s the good stuff anyway).
Full Circle Posts - The Map Making
This year, I am focusing my writing of cycles more on our metaphorical journeys inspired by the Seasonal Gates (which I’ve written about in much more detail here). I’ll be writing about these phases as I pass through them here in the Northern Hemisphere
**Note: These Gates are inspired by the seasons of a year I cycle through here on the East Coast of the US. I only include the dates below as inspirations or mapping for those who would find it useful or interesting. But know, we go through cycles all the time - a breath, a day, a year, a project, a lifetime all have beginnings, middles and ends. You can experience an inner winter in the middle of summer, so feel free to hop around. Last year’s archive is still here for you.
Beginning: Dawning…Incremental Change…Beginning Again
**Mid-Winter: February 1 - March 20
Setting Out: Balance…Sprouting…Onwards
**Spring Equinox: March 20th - April 30th

**Mid-Spring: May 1st - June 20th

**Mid-Summer: August 1st - September 20th
Gathering: Boundaries & Generosity…Truth & Honesty…Sharing
**Fall Equinox: September 21st - Oct 31st

**Mid-Fall: November 1st - December 20th

**Winter Solstice: December 21st - January 31st
Additionally I will be sharing some posts about Personal Gates: birthdays, death days, milestones, etc.
Writings will continue to come imperfectly.
Other reflections, invitations and practices will be shared on Invisible Journeys’ Instagram Page…
Physical Postcards will also be sent out for Solstices and Equinoxes to anyone here in our community who responds to the call that will go out preceeding each season (I’m super excited about this one :))
…maybe there will even be some informal gatherings via chat throughout the year…?
Second Season here at Postcards from Invisible Journeys is all about breaking expectations. I can’t thank you enough for joining me and each other on this journey.
If you enjoy Postcards from Invisible Journeys, I would LOVE for you to share your favorite Postcards with a friend. I hope to grow our community in this Second Season, and your support means everything.
Thank you.
Please know you can reply to these emails anytime and that goes directly to me, privately. Or comment on a post for all our community to witness you. I’ll be there too <3
Happy start to a new journey and…
