In my tarot deck description of the Tower, there is a line I kept thinking about today.
In other situations, the Tower is a catastrophic event that comes at you sideways. My friend Laura says: ‘Some things don’t get an upside. Sometimes, the best you get is when you’re on the other side—wiser, more compassionate, and more aware of your own resilience.’

We did an annual kick-off meeting at work and took some time to look back at 2024 before setting our sights ahead. As we say a final goodbye to last year I guess I had some more reflection left in me a week into the new year. There were some hard knocks at work last year, especially early on in the year. Some things that felt like they changed how I felt about my job or just sucked.
So this passage came to mind and I paraphrased it when speaking to my team today. I hope we go into 2025 a little wiser, with a little more perspective and compassion, and knowledge of our resilience . . . and also our own potential. After all, we have to keep moving forward.
With Love,
Natalie
