So may you receive as much from Tam’s wisdom as I have. please enjoy. Welcome to one of my favorite all-time guests, Tam. Hi, Alison, one of my favorite podcasters. Yay. I was just thinking that you’ve broken two coveted records of the Allyson Scammell podcast. Yes. The first is you’re the first guest to be on one of my podcasts three times. Oh, wow. You’re the most interviewed guest.

[00:03:38] I love that. That’s cool. And the second record, all of this is a little less quantifiable. I will say I haven’t been this excited for a podcast interview and a very long time. Oh, yeah, you’re sweet. Thank you, Allyson. That’s great. You are so welcome. And so we’re talking about one of my favorite topics, the energy Almanac, and using astrology to help us thrive in life and business.

[00:04:04] And in 2022, I love 2022 because there’s three twos, 2, 2, 2, the number of the angels. Oh, we’re going to talk about that. Yes. Good, good, good, good. And I have been, I am an affiliate for very, very few things, but I am an energy Almanac affiliate because I believe in it and it’s an amazing product. So let’s start with that for any new listeners or even at listeners who’ve been around for a while.

[00:04:30] I think they’ll want to hear what is the energy Almanac? Ah, I love sharing this. So the energy Almanac is a robust resource for guiding a person through life and business, using energy. So we know that the planets produce an energy that we feel either consciously or unconsciously in our bodies by using a book that is written thoughtfully and carefully, we can sort of label the energies and know how to move and shake with them.

[00:05:08] So the energy Almanac is quite literally 52 weekly written astrology predictions. So you can read it ahead of time and know exactly how the next seven days are going to play out.  And of course, as you know, Allyson, there’s also these other resources that come with it and that is which gemstone will help you essential oil, which movement.

[00:05:32] And then of course, a little bit of a health journey. There’s a little bit of coaching, a little bit of moon work. Yeah. Energy Almanac is an amazing, like annual resource for planning. Love it. Love it. And I told you this before, but I want to say it again. So all the listeners can hear. Cause this is like, this is an endorsement right here.

[00:05:49] It is one of two books I keep on my desk. One is my weekly planner. And the other is the energy Almanac. That is a coveted position, you know? Right. Isn’t it, it is your desk and really for a person who keeps so little on her desk. Yes. I feel very blessed and honored. Thank you. Oh, you’re so welcome. And I love

[00:06:12] that you said it is 52 weekly astrological predictions. That’s pretty fricking amazing. So tell us your first one was 2018 or 19. I wrote it in 18 for the year 2019. So looking back at 19, 20, 21, and I want to ask a few more questions about 21, but just kind of generally speaking, like looking back, how accurate have they been?

[00:06:37] Oh boy. Oh my goodness. I’m, I’m shocked myself every single year, remarkably accurate. I don’t think a week goes by when I don’t receive either a text message or an email from a reader who says, how the heck did you get that? Right? How did you know? It’s, it’s really, really remarkable. They’ve been extremely accurate.

[00:06:56] And considering how the first book, the 2019 book was written in a different format than the 52 Predictions that was written in a monthly overview style. Even that one was remarkably accurate and I have had the most incredible feedback from people who tell me all the time, the energy Almanac gives me hope and it keeps me out of fear mode.

[00:07:19] That’s the best. That is huge. That is so huge because I think, you know, a lot of spiritual teachers and astrologers believe that we are going in a new energy. We’re bringing in, We’re entering the golden age, the age of Aquarius, and there’s a new energy on planet planet and it’s higher consciousness and it brings in a higher way of living and being, and thriving and the counter to that because all things have an opposite is a deeper fear.

[00:07:48] It’s a deeper collective fear. It’s a rattling of systems, things breaking down that can be very scary. And I think our biggest challenge. Staying plugged in to the things that serve us and not inadvertently into that collective that will drag us down when it doesn’t need to. Oh, you’re so right about that.

[00:08:07] And I, the, you said the rattling of systems and that rattling kind of carries forth and vibrates into us as human beings. And I know that I see it in my tribe of people in my family and friends, but also in clients and customers. You’re you’re right. There’s a rattling and so having something that you can tangibly hold and then energetically use.

[00:08:28] I think this makes the energy almanacs so important and it is of higher consciousness,  in and of itself. This book is the age of Aquarius in one concise, 150 pages. That’s so amazing. And I just feel called to say here, we’re not talking about spiritual bypassing, which I think a lot of people misunderstand, right?

[00:08:48] Sometimes there is a pain or a challenge that you really are called to hit head-on maybe something happening on the news. A cause that you, your higher self is calling you to get uncomfortable and get in there. But sometimes we are just unconsciously plugged into collective fear and don’t need to be, we don’t really need, we’re not really here. We’re here to feel pain from time to time, but we’re not here to feel all the pains. And I think an energy Almanac can really guide us, help us keep on track with that. agreed a hundred percent. I love that you used the language, spiritual bypass.

[00:09:21] This isn’t that. you, you still have to do your work. I absolutely always do your work. Yeah, right? Yes. Yes. Yes. So. Curious to know what has been your biggest lessons learned as you reflect back on 2021? The energy Almanac 2021? Any reflections? Any thoughts on the past year? Oh my gosh, absolutely. So I remember building 2021 and

[00:09:45] I really love to include numerology in the book. It’s a big part of the energy Almanac truthfully. And so when I build a cover, I’m the artist. I always create a big piece of art for the cover. And I remember doing 2021 and the number five, which is what two plus zero plus two plus one equals was such a big player because five

[00:10:05] Is a really energetic number. It’s about being able to pivot and to change and to move and change direction. If you think about how the number five is written drawn, you literally have to pivot in order to draw that number. And I remember thinking like I’m really stable. I’m a, I’m a super stable person.

[00:10:24] I have a super stable business and 2021 knocked my socks off with the  amount of pivoting that I have done and continue to do even in December of 2021. And I’ve gotten that feedback from readers as well. What is going on? Why do I feel like changing? How come I feel flat about something that I used to absolutely love? The energy of change, which is 2021 has floored me.

[00:10:48] Allyson. Wow. I have to say, you have just floored me with what you just said. You have literally just knocked my socks off. I don’t think you know this, but I have in 2021, something was birthed for me. That just keeps coming back and back and back again. And I keep talking about it on the show. And that is a five-step process.

[00:11:09] Oh, and my five-step process is all about the pivot down the pivot. Cause you just being able to pivot, being able to change. I did not know this about the number five. It’s the pivot down to the heart space, plugging into intuition and higher consciousness and being led by and using that pivot down to help you tune into your intuition essentially.

[00:11:29] Oh, my gosh. You’ve just blown my mind. I did not know that about the number five. I highly recommend. When you get off this call, you look at your 2021 back cover of the almanac. I can look again at the number five, the way I drew it with arrows and pivoting. Yeah, you, you pulled that one in. Oh my gosh.

[00:11:47] Well, because it’s the only book on my desk. I am looking at the arrows right now and I see it. Oh my gosh. I never noticed that before. Tam is like, I just have to tell you, listeners Tam is brilliant artist. Like she continually knocks my socks off with her artistic abilities. This is like the best five I think I’ve ever seen in my life.

[00:12:09] Thank you. That’s very kind of you, I try to put some subtleties and messaging into the art for the Almanac. I really do work on that. And that five really had to be there. It told me it was going. This is the best five I’ve ever seen. I’m going to put a photo of this in the show notes. You guys. So if you want to see this vibe, because it really is that good and I’m not exaggerating check out the show notes for Tam’s amazing five.

[00:12:32] And if you don’t already have the energy almanac 2021. And if you don’t, I know after this episode, you’re going to want the energy Almanac 2022. So let us pivot into the year ahead. This episode is going live in January. We’re recording in December. So December 2021. So how is the energy Almanac 2022 different than previous versions?

[00:12:56] 2022. How is it different? So the layout is the same. It is 52 weekly predictions. The art of course is new. So another thing about being an artist, I get to make new art for every single book. So this, this year, the theme of the art, if you like tea you’ll be very happy it’s teacups. So every month your illustration has a uniquely shaped teacup on it.

[00:13:22] And this will go into something I think we’re going to talk about anyway, which is the theme of the year, which is make tea Not war. The book itself. Another new thing is that we typically we’ve done yoga as the movement of the month. And this year, the coach that I hired as a collaborative writer is a movement instructor and her

[00:13:46] monthly articles are such a joy to read. So one month she’ll say let’s do some hiit training, high intensity training. Another month, she’ll say, we’re going to just shake our booty. Like, that’s what you’re gonna do all month. You’re gonna shake your booty, whatever. Like she didn’t do these yoga poses.

[00:14:04] She’s like, we’re going to move our body because it feels good. And we’re going to match the energy of the month. That’s different for the book. And I loved it. I love how that came out. Also new for 2022 is the health journey this year. Health writer, the collaborator, Melissa Rivera takes us on a journey of gut health.

[00:14:23] Not, not everybody understands that good gut health equals great brain health and better decision-making. So she takes us on that journey month by month by month. And that that’s pretty fascinating to read. Of course we have the essential oils and  the coaching, but the other thing that I’m super proud of

[00:14:40] Is that this year’s energy Almanac was written by me. My skillset, Allyson, if you don’t know, is in simplifying information and really distilling big language into simple language and allowing readers to understand astrology. People are afraid to pick up this book sometime because they’re like, I don’t really get astrology. My gift of simplifying language and simplifying big topics down

[00:15:04] makes this year, 2022’s book, a little easier to read. In the past I had hired master astrologers to do the writing. This year I hired a master astrologer, Janet Hickox to support my writing. I’ve learned enough about astrology that I felt I could write the book and write it well. And with her mentoring me, 

[00:15:25] editing and adjusting as needed. We have a fabulous, easy to read and understand and apply book. Oh my gosh. I’m so excited. Cause I know Janet and she is brilliant. She is so brilliant. And I know you and I know you’re writing, which is brilliant, so brilliant. So I love this and I think secretly without even knowing it, I’ve always wished for this, for the energy Almanac, because there’s something about the way you write that makes it so easy to read as a flow.

[00:15:57] And I just flow through the pages there. I, I have, I do not have to I do not have to what’s the word I want to say flex any brain cells to read. Cause you know, and isn’t that what you want. Yes. You never want like to read that thing  that’s like, oh, I can’t figure this out. It’s the way you write it literally is.

[00:16:15] It’s like you’re, it’s like flowing water. That’s how it feels. Thank you for that. Yeah. I really think it’s important to not scare away people from using the book by having really Astro speak, I call it Astro speak, you know, master astrologers  don’t use these terms that people don’t know.   and they don’t need to know,  what people want is how does this apply to my life?

[00:16:37] How does this information affect my family relationships this week? They want it broken down. And that was my goal is keep it applicable, simple to understand. And so I hope that we’ve achieved that for 2022. That that’s the biggest changes in the actual book, besides the information. Yeah, I have my, my copy ordered, but it’s in the US and I’m in Holland.

[00:17:02] I’m going to be getting it in a couple of weeks and I just can’t wait, so excited. All right. So let’s dig into it a little deeper. We’ve already kind of, started talking about the key themes. So walk us through some of the key themes in 2022 to say more about make tea not war.  Uh, I will love to. 2022 is going to be, well I’ll, I’ll say the word interesting, but we have such incredible potential in 2022.

[00:17:28] So let’s talk first about the year itself, you brought up angel numbers, 2, 2, 2. So let’s break down 2022 to understand how I came up with make tea not war, which by the way, For the listeners on the cover of the 2022 energy almanac, you’ll see a gigantic teacup with a heart coming out of it and a tea bag that has a peace symbol on it.

[00:17:48] So cool. Yeah. I love it. So the year the century 2000 is a two, so that the number two really represents peace. it’s the coming together of two people. It’s the coming together of two ideas. it’s a yin and yang, right? It’s it’s really peace. We are also as a little side note in the 21st century, the 21st, the number 21 is actually about truth, truth, telling we are in a true.

[00:18:22] Truth telling season 21st century. Now let’s look at the number 22. I love this number. I’m a 22 actually. So I know it pretty intimately. The number 22 represents the master builder. So the number, sorry, can I just ask real quickly? What does it mean? That you’re a 22. I was born on the 22nd. Oh, okay.

[00:18:43] So I was born on the second. There you go. So you have a lot of two energy. You have a lot of peace energy in your being. yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yup. So  master builder. So take the number two. So let’s do this. Let’s take two Allyson’s side-by-side imagine the peace that is Allyson Scammell and doubling it a powerful word for peace.

[00:19:07] If you were to double, it would be harmony. 22 master builder building harmony, right? Yeah. Okay. Now let’s go. Another level two plus zero, which is nothing. Plus two plus two, three twos. When you add those up is the number six. Six is the number of nurturing. Six is the number of healing. Right. Six, if you look at it, how it’s drawn is the pregnant mother nurturing, nurturing, nurturing.

[00:19:40] So the number 2022 with my interpretation is a year of building peace. My intention in the teacup is instead of breaking each other down. Let’s build each other up. Let’s just make tea and imagine the peace that happens when you share a cup of tea across the table, with somebody, even a stranger. When you sit stranger sits down in front of you and you don’t know their points of view, and they don’t know your points of view, you’re not going to sit there in an aggressive manner.

[00:20:14] You’re going to sit there in a peaceful manner, and you’re just going to absorb and learn and listen. You’re going to be neutral.  So let’s all make tea and not war in 2022. The underlying energy is one with potential for building harmony. That is so cool. And I have to share this again. I didn’t know any of this before, but my work, I was doing a word of the year and I usually spend some time with it, like kind of bringing it in and getting really clear on what it is my word for 19 and 20 was nurture.

[00:20:44] And my word for 21 was peace.  Oh, so I’m, I’m, I’m in alignment to this Tam. Oh, you sure are. That is really brilliant. And I think this gets back to what you were saying earlier. Well, I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but like kind of like we have choices. Like we can plug into the collective fear and go down that rabbit hole or we can plug into the hope, the peace, the light.

[00:21:10] I feel like with all the division that’s on planet right now. I think that’s part of it. Isn’t it? like we can choose to be divided. We can choose to focus on our differences or we can choose to focus on what unites us. Absolutely. I say that every day to my clients and customers, we can choose our points of view and our perspectives.

[00:21:31] And sometimes when it’s an idea that is different than your own, it’s about choosing to be neutral and just receive what if we receive everything and  judge nothing? Yeah, I like that. yeah. So the other side of 2022 and why I really want to drive home, make tea not war. And the building of harmony is that, and this is an important year 2022, because it is what we call the Pluto return.

[00:21:57] So Pluto is an aggressive little planet that makes it’s loop every roughly 258 years. It takes 258 years to make its cycle around the Zodiac and it is going to return to its place. So it’s actually starting that journey in early December, but in February it will have arrived at its 27 degree Capricorn marker, where it was on July 4th, 1776.

[00:22:29] Does that make sense? Yup. Yup. Yup. Okay. So  Pluto, the Pluto return is basically if I were to put it into Tam simplified language, it’s the great do-over. Pluto is if you were thinking like in archetypes, I like to think in like childlike forms, think of the Tasmanian devil from the bugs bunny cartoons, it comes in at a loo[ and it spins and it creates a dust storm and it destroys something

[00:22:55] so that something new and better and evolved can come in its place. it really is like earthquake energy. It comes in and it, and it destroys so that something new can be built. it’s about concrete change at a societal level. We’re talking Capricorn topics, big business. This is government big box stores,

[00:23:19] Religion, education. All the institutional type of things are going to have a great restructuring. Pluto restructures. So 2022, 22 being a master builder, the energy that we pour in toward the great rebuilding and restructuring Is really important. We have to put in the best of the best of the best, the age of Aquarius, innovative, creative, intuitive, as a matter of fact, ideas. And we have to pour in our best selves. This is going to reverberate across the world Yeah. It is the great do over and next year’s energy is going to be the rebuilding of these education systems, nonprofit organizations that are very large religion, churches, like everything is going under a great restructuring.

[00:24:07] It’s going to be a very powerful year. Yeah. So with that brings challenges and opportunities. So let’s, dissect this a little bit. Let’s start with challenges. So we’re going to see this restructuring. beyond the obvious what challenges and, and, and what is the energy Almanac saying that are some of our bigger challenges are going to be? The bigger challenges are going to be the panic that will come.

[00:24:32] Hmm. Honestly, I would say if you’re a coach, a leader somebody who is really minding over other people and guiding other people like you want to know, the panic will be very real because the structures, everything we’ve known and loved and thought was normal is not normal any longer. There’s a great undoing at foot, and that comes with panic and fear.

[00:24:54] So we need the opportunity is to have your tools available to you. Have your mentor. Capricorn Pluto in Capricorn. Capricorn wants us to have a mentor. Seek guidance, have a mentor who is wise and willing to work with you through the next year. I think that is extremely important as we go through this.

[00:25:14] Honestly, I, I really believe the biggest opportunity is what I put right on the front cover of the energy Almanac. And that is that we are, we can be, we can manage it peacefully, the opportunity to keep your, your eye on the prize. Every time I say eye on the prize, I mean, you letter I, yourself. If you can keep yourself focused on the prize, the prize being peace, then you are contributing to an incredible

[00:25:41] end product, which is a new world that is evolved, that has a higher state of consciousness. One of my biggest goals with energy Almanac is always to bring more light and to bring hope and optimism. I did a workshop just recently. And this gentleman in the back raised his hand and said, you’re only talking about the good stuff.

[00:26:00] And I said, yes, good leaders bring hope. But the truth is,  this won’t be a simple task for anybody on the world. We have to bring our best light to the table. I will bring up one more challenge that I think is in front of us. And this is Uranus In Taurus, Uranus is a planet of revolution. It brings swift change and it is currently willing the Zodiac of poorest, which is about values and resources.

[00:26:30] So what we value as a society, But also our resources as a society. So you could think money, money is a resource. I do believe there will be some shifts in how we do money. What that looks like. Perhaps bartering becomes more of a thing. Perhaps digital money and cryptocurrencies become more prevalent.

[00:26:50] Uranus does rule technology. What the reason I say that it’s going to be one of our challenges for 2022 Is that in late December of 2021, that would be December 21st. There is a square to Uranus. So Saturn the planet, of karma, lessons wait, the cosmic film, I call it, it presses on us to make us learn lessons.

[00:27:16] Saturn is in Aquarius, which is groups of people. Saturn is going to bump up against square off against Uranus, which is our money. So how groups of people do money is going to shift. It’s going, there’s going to be a lot of tension. Some people are going to beg for status quo. Capricorn is status quo. And some people really want to move forward and that’s that Uranus energy of moving, wanting to go into the future in a new way.

[00:27:43] So those are some challenges. Our opportunities are to, again, keeping your eye on the prize. Will I shift elegantly gracefully and understand that change is a foot or will I fight it and hold on, I demand it stay the same, because this is what I know. You have to, I believe in 2022, you have to be willing to give up what you think, you know, allow the unraveling.

[00:28:08] Yeah. And my what my, you know, my divine guidance team tells me is like, it’s never been a more important time to be really connected to your higher self and be led by your intuition. And you know, I’m getting called by my spirit guides and source and higher self to do things that I normally would not do to prepare for this.

[00:28:28] And the, the messages I’m getting are very, are very much in sync and in line with everything you’re saying. And some of it’s scary. Sure. Yeah. It’s like, I don’t want to do that. Like, what if you’re wrong? I know, I know, I know, but we’re human. And they’re telling me to make a big pivot. Like I’m getting a couple calls with my finances to do some big pivots and I, and my husband’s just like, whoa.

[00:28:56] Yeah. And I say, well, it’s my money. And this is what I’m getting called to do to, to kind of prepare, be prepared for these shifts. And so. My, my divine guidance teams is really just saying to trust and surrender. And the other thing I think of, if some of this conversation is making you feel a little, you know, a little bit worried or a little bit, you know, fearful about some of these changes my, my divine guidance team always says we

[00:29:24] ultimately do not forget how much power you have and how much ability you have to create your own reality. Because even though you are part of a collective and there is a collective manifestation happening, nothing is more powerful than how you interact with that. And you get to choose how you interact and how you show up in this collective manifesting.

[00:29:47] Oh, I couldn’t agree more. And I want to say, look, if every, if there are people who are listening more fearful, don’t be fearful. The truth is we’ve already, we’ve already won. This is just like bringing us all to the light, the light, the light wins. If you’re, if you’re worried about anything, but the light win has already won and it’s not a secret go tell all of your neighbors, everything really is going to be okay.

[00:30:11] You could speed the process by tapping into your own light. And that’s the truth of it. I also want to say that the astrology is supporting the win. Neptune is in Pisces. For the next few years it has been, and it will continue to be a Neptune in Pisces brings us to our, to our God. It brings us to our spirituality and our faith, it deepens our faith.

[00:30:32] Best thing you can do is run toward that. Find out what you believe and if it is supportive, go there and deepen and strengthen that. get out of your head, drop into your heart much like Allyson’s five point process. Oh yeah. Pivot down to your pathways. Yeah, because the answers really lie in your heart space anyway.

[00:30:53] And Neptune in Pisces truly supports that.  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I’ll just say. So I’m getting, I’m getting guided by my higher self to do something that feels kind of big with my money and I’m resisting it. And because there is a fear block there. There’s a fear block there, you know, because there’s a piece of me that’s attached to the old way old structures.

[00:31:19] So what this is is I always say, whenever you feel block, you’ve identified your homework, which I call Buffalo steps. I’ve identified my homework. Yeah, I’ve got Buffalo steps to release, whatever this is. And just go into the flow of following what my heart is calling me to do. Yes. Big work. Good for you.

[00:31:40] Buffalo steps. And I think this, I think maybe tell me where I’m wrong. Tam, this little process I’m going through. I think we’re going to be experiencing a lot in 2022. the pivot has begun  2021 is the pivot. How round that in how we ground that in will happen probably over the next year. Yes, I would agree with you.

[00:32:01] Yeah. All right. So I always like to ask this question. What is the biggest surprise for you for 2022? Oh boy. I guess really it’s right in the year. Anyway, I think the biggest surprise is really an understanding that dichotomy of 2022 Pluto’s return. Pluto’s return, which is really the great do-over, it’s an unraveling and a rebuilding, a reconstruction.

[00:32:25] That energy can be very fear-based and God, and all his infinite wisdom put that in the year 2022, which represents building peace and harmony. Like, so you have both, you have the fear and you have the hope all in one incredible year and I am constantly surprised At the intricacy of the blueprint that God made and how everything really is lined up perfectly.

[00:32:57] The twos represent dichotomy, If you want them to they represent peace. It’s all right there. And it’s surprising to me. It just is. I mean, maybe that’s not the answer you hope for, but that’s the truth for me. Like I’m so shocked. How perfect this is, you can have your eye on the prize and you can still have that fear present because it is going to be a big change.

[00:33:17] Yeah, no, that’s beautiful. I love that answer. And I think that’s it. I think that Like you’re getting to the real heart of it. And if you can manage that duality, right. You know, you’ll thrive. I’ve I think, I don’t know about you, but 2020 and 2021 has been challenging years for me. Just like everybody else.

[00:33:36] But I’ve also in some ways just thrived Like I’ve never thrived before. because you could move with the change you’re willing to go. So here’s the opportunity. And the energy Almanac is here to help guide the way. So maybe you could walk us through a little bit, how we can use the energy almanac to plan by the planets and life and business in a way that does help us to thrive.

[00:33:59] Yeah, absolutely. What I think my readers really appreciate is the way, the way we give you opportunities to use the books. So we always start with a beautiful illustration that I find a lot of people will, frame in their home. They’ll pull it out of the book, frame it, or put it on the refrigerator for easy reference.

[00:34:15] So the illustrative page at the front of every month offers you key words that you can easily memorize and carry with you throughout the month. But beyond that, we give you a weekly snippet of do this, but don’t do that. So first example, January 1st week of January is, do evaluate your money, but don’t slip into victimhood.

[00:34:39] Okay. Right off the bat. If you’re doing some planning, you know, block some time the first week of January to look at your budget.  I actually let’s look at the second week of January when this podcast drops, it says put off new purchases for a few weeks and don’t be caught overthinking. So if you were planning to make a purchase this week, when this podcast is dropping. 

[00:34:58] Don’t. pull. And if you’re planning to launch a new product, right. If you’re, if you’re a coach or a leader and you have new products yeah don’t and also don’t be caught overthinking. So there’s some very clear and direct information for the second week of January. So then, like, let’s just say you just get your book.

[00:35:16] First thing you do is like read the overview for the month. It’s going to tell you exactly what you can expect. And there’s key dates that you can mark. In your planner, literally mark them in your planner so that you can, you won’t be caught with your pants down if you will. Yeah. Beginning of the week, Sunday night or Monday morning, whichever you literally pick up the book and read for the week ahead. Now for me, I always have a highlighter with me and I highlight anything that might be task appropriate or energy appropriate. I highlight that. I read it aloud with my husband. We talk about what’s going on for the week ahead.

[00:35:54] And then we, we sort of make a mental note and sometimes I, I make actual physical notes in the book. Other than that, it’s going through and finding out which gemstone do I put on my desk this month. Is there an essential oil or am I going to just wear the 2022 peace blend that I have available? Oh, nice.

[00:36:12] I like that. So the do this, don’t do that. That did that drop from the 2021. Oh, no, that was in 2021. Oh, it was oh, okay. Illustration page. Ah, the illustration page. I love that. Okay. Yeah. I love to do this,  Don’t do that. I think it was, it was arranged a little bit differently in 2020, but I love the do this,

[00:36:31] don’t do that. And I do my planning for the week ahead on Sunday mornings and I start my weekly planning with reading the energy Almanac week ahead. That’s how I, that’s how I kick it off. And I have the sound of Paw patrol in my head because my daughter is watching. I do this while my daughter watches her Sunday morning cartoon.

[00:36:55] Yep. And so I’m hearing Paw patrol singing in my head right now. And I will say, I do have to say there are small little exceptions from time to time from the energy Almanac. Cause we did say the second week of Jan do not make a new purchase with the exception. If you haven’t already with the exception of the energy Almanac 2022, because it’s going to guide you on what you need to know for the year ahead.

[00:37:20] So please do, we’re going to talk about. Well, let’s talk about right now, a perfect segue. How can they get their hands on this book? Oh, thank you for asking that. My homepage, the energy almanac.com.
