Healing Season

Last Sunday, I set aside some time to get quiet and chart my next season. I was in for a BIG surprise.

This next journey is about getting to the root of some of the foundational beliefs I have about myself and the life I've created. Now... don't get me wrong, I like the life I live. This next season will make it more fulfilling and enriching.

The epiphany came after an event where I felt 'other'. I was an invited guest, but almost everything about it gave off 'not for me' vibes. That was a hard pill to swallow as it meant cutting off some relationships.

But where one door closes others open. That's where the season of healing begins. There are four people with whom I need to give of myself. All of them are near and dear to my heart, but in the healing season, I've been lead to pour into them more than I ever have.

The idea of being that vulnerable, exposing a part of myself they don't know made me a little anxious. But I realized this personal step will also benefit my professional goals. I believe I'm about to find out what my true capacity for empathy, understanding and empowerment really is and leverage that to help others.

Cheers to this new, softer, more understanding me.
