Happy New Year in words, image, and gifts!

First, the words and image …

And now for your 2025 presents…

A new year brings more than just an advanced digit at the end of the numerical marker. It opens an energetic portal that signals change. Whether it’s conditioning or shifts caused by seasonal cosmic events (such as a Solstice or Equinox), it’s likely you feel the urge to evaluate your current path and make adjustments, if necessary.

For me, I’ve felt a pull to return to my publishing roots, integrating my intuitive skills and training with what I’ve done for over 50 years—write and publish.

Up until now, this site and newsletter have been a means of communication and labor of love that enabled me to connect with the outside world after the major life upheavals of the pandemic, death of my beloved husband, and the ensuing social, political, and environmental changes.

Since receiving my certification in intuitive energy healing last June, I’ve spent much of the past six months reviewing the material published here…almost 200 posts to date!

The editor in me realized that this vast, deep trove of content called the Archive contained several books worth of valuable, much-needed information calling out to be sorted, organized and, in some cases, expanded or updated for current times.

And that’s what I’m doing.

And because I’m mining the Archive for the seeds of what will become published books, I’m closing access to previously published posts two weeks after they’ve been emailed to you and posted on the site.

That means that everything I publish as a post on this site will still be mailed to all subscribers and posted on the site, free to read for two weeks. After that time, posts will be archived and accessible to paid subscribers only.

You’re probably wondering…

So where’s my present 🎁?

I want everyone to have total access to my work.

From now through end of day on January 1, 2025:

I’ve slashed the subscription price with a 50% off discount.

🎁 For only $30, you will have access to all material on the Shelley (W)Rites site AND receive free copies of every ebook I publish this year from the archived material.

🎁 The first ebook, What’s in Your Toolbox? Essentials for building an authentic, soul-led life, will be delivered to paid subscribers mid-January.

🎁 Subsequent releases—approximately 6 to 8 new ebook collections to be published this year—will be delivered throughout 2025, directly to paid subscribers. Topics to include: Grief and the Afterlife, Energy Healing, Culture, Tapping into Intuition, Travel Photos and Essays, Tarot Wisdom, and more.

🎁 Excerpts from two brand-new books will be sent to paid subscribers beginning in the latter half of the year. One is a highly controversial examination of how patriarchal culture stunts personal growth and homogenizes identity—and how to flip the paradigm for a richer, more fulfilling life.

As much as I’d love everyone to take advantage of this limited-time, discounted offer, I understand that some may not be able to right now. If this applies to you, simply reply to this email for a three-month comped subscription.

2025 and beyond

We are entering a year and an age of the individual. As a current subscriber, it’s likely you are right on track or maybe even ahead in that paradigm. I’m so very happy and excited to be sharing all the possibilities with this community of independent thinkers.

Happy New Year, dear readers!

With much love and gratitude, Shelley
