Hello! Welcome to Issue 4 of Smartt Start! Thanks for your patience as I dealt with a nasty bout of RSV and the fallout from that. Speaking from experience…highly recommend staying healthy & not getting every illness under the sun! I digress.

On the docket for this week:

  • Winter is coming! Solstice happening on December 21, with the Sun moving into Capricorn. Plus, Mercury retrograde in full force asking us to take stock and review

  • The House is officially on holiday recess until January 8, but the Senate is still in session. Here’s where things stand.

  • The Republican race for second place is still a sh*t show. Plus the Biden administration continues to anger the progressive wing of the party. The latest.

  • The practical act of prayer/manifestation. It’s not just a thought exercise. Plus I’m hosting an event just in time for the new year — check it out & read below!

Alright, let’s get into it.
