Today’s Monday.

It’s also Yule Log Day, which feels about right for this weird in-between week.

Traditionally, it was about burning a log to mark the return of light after the longest nights. A slow moment. A pause. A bit of warmth before the next stretch begins.

These days it’s a bit simpler.
Some people bake a chocolate log.
Some people light a fire.
Most of us stick a looping fireplace video on the telly and call it self-care.

I like the idea of it being a virtual fireplace for the soul.
No rush.
No goals.
Just a quiet exhale before January turns up with its lists and promises.

I’m very much in that mode today.
Still eating leftovers.
Still drinking coffee.
Still getting used to the Moka pot my sister got me for Christmas.
It makes coffee that feels serious, even if I’m still half asleep.

While we’re in this slower headspace, I wanted to flag something without any hype.

WarriorPlus have their 12 Days of Deals bundle on right now.
It’s pay what you want.
You get a stack of tools and trainings.
And some of the money goes to charity, which I really like.

This isn’t a grind harder thing.
It’s more of a browsing by the fire kind of thing.

If you fancy a quiet look while the kettle’s on, here’s the link

That’s it from me today.
Light the fire.
Drink the coffee.
We’ll worry about January when it actually arrives.
