The year's end – a strange, liminal space where memories mix with hopes. It's a time for reflection, but what if we could make it something more? What if we could use this time for deep personal dives and playful explorations? This year, let's step away from the usual and embrace some unique ways to end the year with a bang - and maybe even a little bit of a growl.
Introspective Journeys
Forget resolutions you'll abandon by January 15th. Let's get real. Think about how you can introduce some intimacy, growth, and personal challenges to your holidays. Consider these introspective activities to close the year:
The Year in a Journal: Not a diary, but a focused exploration. What moments made you gasp, growl, or get goosebumps? Dig into those.Shadow Self-Portrait: What are the parts of yourself you've hidden away this year? A creative project like writing a poem or creating some art about your shadow self can be incredibly revealing.
Gratitude with a Twist: It's not enough to simply say 'I'm grateful'. Name five things that challenged you this year and find the specific growth they ignited.
Time to get a bit more daring:
The Edge of Comfort: Pick a skill or activity that scares you a little, and just go for it. That could be anything from rock climbing to speaking your mind in a group setting.
Reclaim Your Space: Do a home edit. Get rid of the things that no longer resonate with you and create a space that reflects where you're going, not where you've been.
The Naked Truth: Consider booking a nude or intimate photoshoot. It's not just about skin; it's about claiming your space, a bold declaration of your body's journey and a beautiful way to honour yourself. It's a deliberate act chosen for yourself, a challenge of growth.
Intimacy Reimagined
The holidays can be a time to deepen your connections, especially with your partner. So ditch the small talk and try:
Intentional Time: Make a date night – but really be there. Put away your phones. Really see each other.
Vulnerability Dare: Share something with your partner that you normally wouldn't. This isn't about drama; it's about learning more about each other.

Tease & Tell: To add a bit of spice, explore "Tease & Tell," my new card deck specifically designed to spark intimate conversations. These cards invite you to explore each other on a whole new level this holiday season. It's an opportunity to discover new layers of your connection through laughter, vulnerability, and a little cheeky fun.
A New Chapter, Not Just a New Year
This isn't about closing a chapter, it's about turning the page, ready to pen a new one. Embrace these unique ways to end the year – not with resolutions, but with revelations.
