Hi! This is Leyla from A Day Well Spent, a newsletter seeking pathways to more purposeful living. If you’re reading this by chance - welcome! You can enter your email below to ensure you never miss my twice weekly posts (Thursdays and Sundays):
Hi all and happy Sunday! How wonderful to be here gain at that glorious time of the lunar month — full of possibility and anticipation — where we embrace the start of a new lunar cycle with the New Moon, which falls tomorrow 🌚
This means we’ll be using today’s Sunday Reflections to set our intentions for this upcoming cycle and asking ourselves:
“What am I ready to invite in?”
Is this your first time joining our monthly New Moon intention setting?
If so, welcome! It’s one of my favourite times of the month. So many readers are already achieving so much with these monthly accountability meet-ups, I am feeling quite proud of them all!
And I’m certainly experiencing the benefits of sharing my intentions with others each month too; prior to doing so on A Day Well Spent, I had only ever written them privately. Declaring them publicly does really seem to help more of them come to be.
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, have a read of this post which answers all these. Then you can head back here.
We would be delighted if you wanted to join in!

Thursday’s post was a personal one. It’s about my hair and the relationship I’ve had with it over the years (fraught) and the reasons I finally cut it all off five years ago.
It also includes pictures of me through the ages that no one beyond my family and Facebook friends have ever seen HA-HA.
Some other recent posts you might want to check out include the breakfast I eat for most of the year; a reminder that you’re not getting old, you just need to stretch and a 🤯 podcast conversation with a Buddhist lucid dreaming teacher.
Welcome to Sunday Reflections ☕
For new subscribers, welcome to our weekly gathering! This is our intimate and friendly space for community and accountability.
How it works
Each Sunday I pose a prompt or question which we discuss (and say hi) in the comments. Topics often cover self-empowerment and personal growth and these weekly check-ins allow us to get to know ourselves and the other members of the A Day Well Spent community better.
Feel free to have a browse through previous Sunday Reflections to get an idea of the stuff we talk about, which include monthly New Moon intention setting (what we’re doing today).
As always thank you all for being here and I am so looking forward to today’s chat.
Sunday is for awakening the mind, body and spirit 🧘
Now let’s begin.
