Hi Reader, Spring is approaching fast. We are already being teased with some warm sunny days and there's a subtle shift in the air, the feeling that something new is beginning to stir. But here’s a question I often sit with at this time of year: Are you stepping into this season with intention, or simply drifting into it? Nature moves through its seasons with wisdom and rhythm. Yet in our own lives, we often move from one season to the next without pausing to notice what is changing within...

The Sacred Space Between Letting Go and What’s Next Hi Reader, As we move deeper into autumn, I’m noticing how this season invites us to loosen our grip and trust what needs to fall away. In one of the community groups I’m part of, we recently discerned that it was time to let go of a long-cherished part of our shared life.

Hi Reader, Have you ever reached a point in your career where what once felt right no longer does? Maybe you’ve outgrown the role that once energized you. Maybe you’re questioning whether to stay, to leave, or to make a shift. Or maybe you simply sense that something needs to change, but you can’t quite name what. That’s what it means to be at a career crossroads. Today I’m opening up a new small group experience called Career Crossroads: Discerning Your Way Forward. It’s a 4-session journey...
