Day 03 | IGNITE

November 27, 2024 Lindy Spurgeon

As I sit here writing today's intention and prompts, I can't help but think of starting a campfire. It takes a little work to get it started. You get the twigs and the kindling, light it, watch it smoke, and then poof! It ignites and things are about to get really lovely.

That vision can be applied to many things in life. We feel the spark for change, make the tough choice to get started, and then the initial lead-up to implementing that change gets a bit overwhelming. You’re making lists. You’re gathering all of the accoutremont. Even though it's a slow start and incremental changes are small, one day...

POOF!

You did it! You’re making progress. You feel really good and it starts to snowball. Continuing on gets a little easier. That’s where we are today. You got the box. You sat there the first day and made the list of reasons you’re here. You committed to observing when necessary and noticing how you move through this holiday season. We’re attracting the things we want, and it is about to get good. We’re about to ignite our passion for this self-care journey.

Today is all about realizing what is giving you passion for your life right now and how to harness that to keep moving forward. And I know. I KNOW. It is the busiest time of the year. It is easy to find excuses why you can’t find time to nourish your spirit each day. But, I promise you. If you can figure it out now, it will be way easier to continue during some of the slower parts of the year.

Let's take stock of how these reflections over the past couple of days have made you feel. Can you anticipate what your ignite moment might be? Maybe you’re not as stressed. Perhaps you’re realizing that you are building a routine. Are you learning that you do have time for yourself each day? Only you know what this moment will be. And it is absolutely okay if you are unsure of what that is. You’ll know it when it happens.

JOURNAL PROMPTS

What do you like the most about life right now? What feels good? How do you make space for more of that in your life?
What is giving you enthusiasm for life?
What are some ways you can give yourself permission to have fun each day?

TODAY'S GIFT

25 DAYS BOOKISH BOX

Smoke Show by Aimee Vance and B. Perkins

Alright, before I get into how much I love this book (and series), I feel the need to set some expectations with the gifts going forward. Today’s gift is the biggest in the box. I really wanted to save it for the last day, but the intention word IGNITE is perfect for Smoke Show. Once you read it, it will make sense. I will give you one hint though, one of the main characters is named Blaze.

I read this entire series over the course of maybe two weeks this summer. I had seen it all over bookstagram and finally gave it a shot. I am so glad that I did. I recommend it often to folks that are looking for a fun quick read that has all of the best things—it’s a quirky, small-town paranormal rom-com. Aimee and B were kind enough to gift a few fun goodies, one of which is a signed bookplate, to make today extra special! I really hope you enjoy this book (and the rest of the series) as much as I did.

THE 25 DAYS BOXES

The Ignite Candle

Today’s gift is a candle that was specifically formulated to encourage warmth, exuberance, and positivity. A little something to help you on days when it feels hard to go on. I have one of these candles on my desk for when I have to do work that is particularly draining. There’s something about the scent profile, and the little bit of magic I put in it, that instantly lifts my moon. Similar to No. 31’s intention, it’s a little bit of happiness in a jar (or tin).

If you love this candle and would like to re-order it in the future, you’re looking for The Sun candle from the tarot line. Sizes by self-care box:

Sample: 2 oz. candle
Regular: 6 oz. candle
Deluxe: 11 oz. candle
