My dear friend,

welcome back to the Safe Space 💛 Take a warm drink and cosy up with me today, while I share with you some words of reassurance ˙✧˖°☕ ༘ ⋆｡˚

January is a tough month for many people...
I've never understood why mainstream culture pushes us to choose goals and resolutions by such a strict deadline. Moreover, we are encouraged to start fulfilling them right away, from January 1st, while the deep winter has just started. I've always felt like there was a dissonance, so I started rebelling.

My first act of rebellion was against New Year resolutions (ง •̀_•́)ง I don't really set goals anymore, but rather I set my "energy". To me, it makes more sense to attune to feelings, rather than discipline, so during winter I choose a way I want to feel throughout the year. Last year, for example, my energy gravitated around the word "Release". Whenever I had to take a decision, or I felt lost, I came back to this energy to attune myself again. It is no secret that 2025 has been a hard year for me, maybe the hardest one yet, so having this energy guidance has really been vital.

My second act of rebellion was against the "January 1st" deadline (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭ Who has time to wrap up the old year, possibly celebrate, and have the clarity of mind to set goals by the end of December? Why should we constantly project ourselves in the future, instead of taking the time to pause, rest and find gratitude for where we are at, right here and now?

Winter is the time when Nature, and our bodies, slow down. Like we need sleep at night, we need rest in winter. When in doubt, look at the trees. Follow their slow breathing between their lush thriving and their bare hibernation. Let's all be trees this season, and take the time we need to prepare for spring. Without rush, let's think of January as a neutral space between the Solar New Year and the Lunar New Year, a moment to reset and recalibrate, and to welcome our new energy for the new seasons coming.

🎁 A small gift: while I was recovering from sickness, last week, I've made a short video to play with our intuition together, you can find it attached to this post, at the top 👆 I hope you enjoy! 🥰

I wish you a cosy winter with cosy warm drinks ☕🧣🌨️

Until next letter,

Anna 🍋☕

P.S. I now offer personal Tarot & Oracle readings, you can now book one from here!

Dear friends,

I found an island of calm and quiet this morning and I've decided to share this feeling with you 💛

These days are really hard for me because I'm forced to spend most of my time and energy in a way that doesn't do well for me, and I think many of you might relate 😔 I've had a lovely conversation with a friend yesterday, where we agreed that the only thing we can do to feel better is to take control of the little things. Choosing carefully the pen you use to write, listening attentively to the birds chirping while you walk to a destination, stopping a little longer when you take a break. Anything can become a simple ritual to be more present with yourself and the beautiful world around you.

I hope you can rest today. I hope you can notice the little things. I hope you feel better soon 💛

A big hug, my friends!

Anna 🍋☕

Dear Cuteas,
It's been a very busy January! In the past weeks I have battled with some depression and physical sickness, so I'm a little behind with posts and thanks, I'm sorry!

The video above might explain some of the stress I'm going through... 😉💍

To recap some important points:

• My twitch channel is now DEMONetised, so emotes are free for everyone! 
  👉 add the 7tv extension to your browser to see them on stream
• Because of Italian laws, for now, the products I am allowed to keep on my website are only digital and must be free, so no merch for now. But, laws are changing in April, and I might find some workarounds with my accountant! At worst this will be solved as soon as I graduate and I'm able to find a job with a more stable income... Feeling hopeful!
• New year postcards have been sent! 💌 Everybody should get them within some weeks, but if they get lost in the post, I have taken pictures for you 😉 Send me a picture when you get them! I'll remind you at the end of the month in case ❤︎

Also a big thank you to all the new members this month!!
I want to make a drawing with everybody as soon as I have recovered ✍❤️

I will print the postcards and write a personalised encouragement on each of them based on a tarot card 🎴✨ You will receive them before the Lunar New Year! 🌑✨
