Las 12 Uvas – The 12 Grapes

One of my all-time favourite New Year’s Eve rituals is the Spanish custom of eating 12 grapes in the last 12 seconds of the year, each grape symbolising a month of the year to come.
While it’s often framed as a race to finish them in time, the real magic lives in the intention, and in the togetherness.
This is a conscious closing of one year, and a gentle, intentional, and joyful way of welcoming the next.

This year, I offer you 12 blessings. Consider each one a quiet permission to move through the months ahead with sovereignty, well-being, and alignment.

And if you wish to keep them before you as a reminder or would like to gift them to someone, DM me GRAPES and I'll send the to you as a beautiful pdf visual, as my free new year's gift to you.
