Winter Solstice: The Quiet Turning Point

Welcoming Winter! Hi Reader, As December unfolds, we arrive at one of the most sacred turning points of the year: the Winter Solstice. The longest night. The deepest dark. And quietly, almost imperceptibly, the return of the light. Winter invites us into a different rhythm. The world around us slows. Nature rests. The noise softens. And we are invited to do the same -- not to disengage from life, but to listen more deeply within it. This is the season of the North on the Heart Compass: a...

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. It had served us well for many years — but its season had passed. Even though it was a tender decision, we could sense it was right. Now we’re in that in-between moment —...

🍂 The In-Between Season: Learning to Rest in the Pause Hi Reader, This time of year always feels like a threshold -- that tender space between what was and what’s next.

Between the fullness of summer and the stillness of winter, there is a quiet middle ground -- an in-between season where we are asked to trust the...

🍂 A SEASON OF SHIFTS Hi Reader, As we cross into autumn with the Autumnal Equinox, nature invites us into a season of balance and change. The days and nights are equal, reminding us of the ongoing rhythm of letting go and beginning again. The Equinox is a natural pause point — a threshold, a liminal space between light and dark, summer and winter. It’s a reminder that transitions are not just about endings, but also about the courage to stand in the in-between. In our lives and careers, we...

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...

Savoring the Last Days of Summer! Hi Reader, But wait! It's almost Labor Day, summer's over. While it may feel that way, we do have a few weeks remaining before the Autumnal Equinox when we officially welcome Fall. Have you noticed how the light feels different at the end of the day this time of year? The days are still warm, yet the shadows stretch a little longer and some of the plants and trees have lost their summer vibrancy. All reminders that summer won’t last forever. Late summer...
