🍂 The Field Guide to You 🍂
An invitation to rewild your spirit this January
Thank you so much for joining me here at Looking for the Magic. For the past three years, I’ve begun a quiet revolution. One in which I started listening to the things that called me. It changed the entire trajectory of my life. I had felt so disconnected from myself. I could not say what my dreams were anymore.
It was not all at once, but incrementally, I made new choices. It was getting quiet. It was slowing down. It was looking at all the times in my life I felt delighted about things, but let them go. It was remembering who I was as a child. It was trusting my instincts again. It was taking a walk outside to indulge in the wonder.
I meet people all the time who tell me they need to make a change. Or how much they dislike their job. How they wish they had the time to create things again. Sometimes they say, I don’t even know what I want, I just know it is not this.
There is a golden thread. And you have to take time to unearth it.
I want to invite you all to a more intimate group, it’s called:
Each month, I’ll share a journal entry with you.
It is part reflection, part nature-inspired prompt.
It is designed to help you notice who you are,
what you’ve always loved,
and what might be calling you now.
Maybe you are just ready to read it.
Maybe you are ready to join in.
Wherever you are is fine.
We all begin in different places.
The important thing is to begin.
The Field Guide to You will be a more intimate space where we can share as a group in the comments and chat feature. It is a space behind closed doors where we can share what we discover. No pressure if you just want to observe as well!
The Monthly Nature Almanac and Tiny Things will always be free to all my subscribers. This is something extra. 🌱 It is a tiny seed to plant each month to build the life you want, not the one you settled for. It is a rewilding of your spirit.
So I ask you…
I hope you’ll join me. I look forward to sharing all my nature discoveries, the Tiny Things, and my art with you in 2026. I wish you all a holiday season full of magic!
Until Next Time ✨ 🌙
Kim

I love this! I have started my weekly substacks in 2025. I also kept many journals (mostly nature journals) writing and drawing every day in January. I love your style of artwork and the soft colors. Looking forward to this.
I’m excited to have joined and I’m developing my art practice and becoming me. Only took me 60 odd years … thank you for this beautiful opportunity Kim 🌸
