💬 Sunday Reflections #7 (New Moon intentions)
And losing my grip on a good habit
You can catch me on BBC Radio 4 today at 12:30 or tomorrow at 15:30 presenting an episode of The Food Programme Smoke, Fire and Flame: Trends v Tradition. It will also be available on BBC Sounds.
Hello friends, happy Sunday to you all. We are almost at the end of the lunar month, the New Moon falls tomorrow.
Which means we will be using today’s Sunday Reflections to set our intentions for this next lunar cycle and asking ourselves, “what am I ready to invite in?”.
Here’s this week’s voice memo from me:
In case you missed them, I wrote two posts this week rather than than usual one - an extra bonus post to celebrate my recent ‘bestseller’ status.
Substack can be cruel but here’s why I love it - musings and stats at 5 weeks and “hundreds” of supporters (free to read)
How I grew from zero to “bestseller” in 5 weeks - including the blueprint for how I launched this Substack (for paid subscribers)
If this is your first time joining our monthly New Moon intention setting, then welcome! It’s one of my favourite times of the month.
If you would like to find out what New Moon intention setting is, how to do it and how we do it here on A Day Well Spent, check out this post which answers all these.
Before we begin, I’d like to share a Note from this wonderful community that made my week (I might actually share one every Sunday - if there is one - it feels so joyful and positive).
I have my moments of doubt like anyone else - am I doing the right thing here? So reading words like these means a great deal to me.
Did you know you can play this post like an audiobook?
If you view this post within the Substack app (I recommend downloading it, it’s much better than reading these as emails), there is a play button at the top that will read out the post just like an audiobook or podcast.
I have only recently discovered this feature, it’s a gamechanger if you struggle to find the time to sit down and read posts (me 🙋).
As always, thank you all for being here and I look forward to today’s discussion.
Now let’s begin.
Welcome to Sunday Reflections, your weekly dose of community and accountability.

This is where we get to know each other and ourselves better.
