I’ve been revisiting my old blog posts from 2020, and wow, some of them are hitting just as hard five years later. I feel like we’ve descended back into a time of chaos and uncertainty, where we are inundated with dozens of awful headlines each day. The overwhelm is real, and I feel like everyone I know is surviving, not thriving.

Devotions to Aphrodite: Nail Art
One of the most consistent devotions to Aphrodite that I have practiced for the past (almost!) two years is nail painting/art. I’ve never been good at taking care of my hands. Even before things got really bad and I got my official OCD diagnosis, I washed them way too much. Finding the joyful self-care of painting my nails as a devotional activity for Aphrodite has helped me to treat my hands better.

Affirmations: I Trust in My Joy
I thought it would be nice to start off the new year with an affirmation: I trust in my joy. Do you currently trust in your joy? What is your relationship to joy and pleasure? Do you embrace joy or shy away from it? How does joy show up in your life? How does it impact the decisions you make and how you show up in the world?
