Hey, Friendlies! Happy NEW Year! 🎊 

Here’s to 2025, y’all! 

No resolutions here! 

Here’s a photo of me from last October, fully embodying shadow Shawna as I cuddle my doodle and glare at my lover. 

What is your focus on for 2025? I have two main objectives. 

First-to write more books! (Second book coming Spring ‘25!) 

Second-to further my progress in shadow work! 

There are times in my life when part of me wants to sally forth on a brand new venture that I’m just not ready for, despite my go-getter attitude (last week I ran into the living room and startled Robert in the middle of his death scrolling to loudly announce, “in addition to being a rapper and a stand up comedian and a self-published author, I’m going to be a film director! Do we have a tripod?”). 

Normally, I’d rather not consider the consequences of my actions (ugh, boring)  and just plow forward like the dreadfully optimistic Sagg that I am; however, my shadow side, she’s been a callin’. In ways that I simply cannot ignore. If you know, you know, and yes, I just went basic bitch on your ass there for a second. It had to be done.

 Because if you feel that shadow popping out in places and ways that you find undesirable, and you do not address it, well then, let’s just say, your shadow is winning. How can they not be, when you’ve given them so much power? Even if inadvertently, even if subconsciously, still-you’ve allowed them to gain the upper hand. Don’t beat yourself up over it, that’s no good for anyone (I’m learning). 

 It’s just a thing that happens. A human thing. And the only way to beat it, to beat anything, is to face it head on. To recognize what work must be done and start doing it (even if it’s uncomfortable). 

And I recognize that shadow work needs to be a priority for me at this time. 

That, and writing more books! Extra twisted, odd, funny, daring, gross, emotionally & mentally stimulating books! 📚 🤓 

Thank you for stopping by, Friendlies!! I appreciate you. 

Love, 

SKA

Ps. Something special and magical and awkward and amazing and heart warming and terrifying happened on Christmas morning while my family was opening presents-my best friend and lover proposed! 💍☺️

That means that the man whom I adore, the man who has my heart in the palm of his lovely hands, wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Me! Excuse me while I swoon so hard I burst into smithereens 😮‍💨
