T.S. Eliot wrote, “April is the cruelest month.”

He was wrong. It’s February.

So we’re going to meet it with softness: autonomy, low light, and a gentle entry to the day.

What is the 19 days of february?

A 19-day winter anti-hustle creativity challenge with daily emails and cozy morning Zooms to help you show up for your spark, gently 🕯️

Each morning, you’ll receive in your email inbox:

🃏 An oracle card pull (from my favorite, lovingly shuffled decks)

📩 a juicy creative prompt or reflection

🌀 An optional morning co-working Zoom session (bring your tea, your journal, your bed nest)

You can join every day or just dip in when you can. There’s no guilt. No pressure. No right way to do it.

It’s free, comfort-forward, and runs February 1 - February 19, 2026

The world is loud and The to-do list is eternal.

But your creative fire? It still burns. And in February, it doesn’t need a whip. It needs a blanket 🕯️

February can feel like the long hallway between “I should be doing more” and “I can’t do anything.” The light is thin. The energy is weird. Your brain tries to bargain with spring 🌱

So instead of demanding productivity, we’re making a small daily ritual that says:

  • you’re allowed to begin softly

  • you’re allowed to want things

  • you’re allowed to make things without proving anything

This is a container for quiet creative reflection, dreaming, scheming, and gentle doing.
A steady little lantern for the hardest month ❄️

This practice changed my life. Read the story on my blog.

And now? I want to invite you to join me. You in?

🖼️ The optional Zoom Room: Come As You Are

Every morning, 7:30-8:45am PDT, we gather in a cozy co-creation Zoom room. It’s totally optional—but completely magical.

Think of it as your soft landing.

Your daily check-in with a room full of tender-hearted weirdos who get it.

You can show up camera-on, camera-off, in your robe, in your feelings. You can write, doodle, daydream, work on a secret project, or just sip coffee and soak up the vibes.

This space is here for:

  • 🧃 Cheering each other on

  • 🔥 Reclaiming creative time that actually feels good

  • 💬 Knowing you’re not doing this alone

You don’t have to “network” (barf!). You don’t have to perform. Just come as you are, and make something for you.

(And if you can’t make the Zoom? You still get the email. You still belong.)

✨ Why join me?

  • Because no one else is going to guard your creative time.

  • Because you’re tired of telling yourself “I’ll get to it later.”

  • Because that tiny ember of creative joy inside you is still alive.

  • Because February is hard, and we’re making it softer on purpose.

  • Because everyone deserves a hype squad and I come with playlists.

🧚 Who am I?

Hi, I’m Sarah from Hawthorn Mountain Tarot! I help creatives reconnect with meaning, traction, and courage, especially the ones who are secretly exhausted, overcommitted, or afraid they’ve lost the magic.

You haven’t. It’s still in you.
Let me help you fan the flame. 🕯️

💌 What happens when you sign up?

You’ll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link so you can save it in your calendar, plus a short welcome note before February begins (no stress, this challenge is meant to feel good).

Then it’s nineteen mornings of warmth + possibility:

  • Daily email at 7:00am

  • Optional Zoom room at 7:30am

No perfection required. Just presence.

🌀 FAQ: Slightly Sassy, Always Supportive

  • No worries at all. Life happens. The challenge is there to serve you—not the other way around. You can pick back up any time. This is about reclaiming joy, not racking up gold stars.

  • No way! They’re totally optional. Think of them as a cozy, loving bonus. If you want to create in quiet community, we’ll be there. If you want to do your own thing solo, that’s beautiful too.

  • Nope. Never. Absolutely not. These sessions are intentionally ephemeral. They’re like morning mist or a match strike—here, then gone. You show up, we make something together, and then it disappears into the day. No playback, no archive, no pressure.

  • Not unless you want to! On Zoom, we’ll take the final five minutes to share if we feel called to (and gas each other up). Off Zoom, you can keep your process entirely private, or share on IG and tag me @hawthorn_mtn_tarot.

  • It’s for anyone who wants to reconnect with their creative spark. Maybe that’s drawing. Maybe that’s journaling. Maybe that’s baking cookies while dancing to Tori Amos. It all counts.

  • Gosh, I hope not! You’ll get one short, winter-warm email each morning from Feb 1–19. That’s it (plus a confirmation email and a brief welcome note).

  • Because it’s my birthday on August 19—and this whole project started as a personal ritual to reclaim my creative time from August 1-19. Then I thought, “why limit myself to August??”. And we now do it in February, too! It’s now become one of my favorite gifts to share.

  • YES. Please do. Creativity is better with company. Send them this link:
