Be kind to yourself in the new year…
Perhaps you’re considering a January detox: herbal teas, mud baths and the like. By all means knock the booze on the head for a bit. But the rest of it? Total bollocks. Because you already have a liver and kidneys. Here’s something I wrote a while back.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!
