Transitions

Dear Friends,

We are barreling towards that time of year, the time of year of life transitions.  Transitions in season, in weather are coming soon to tangibly mark this change, but for many, transitions into a new grade, or a different time of life are imminent.  Many of my peers, like me, are dropping their kids off at college either for the first time, or for a new year.  This time of year is a time of change for many.

Oftentimes transitions are hard.  They can fill us with uncertainty, with an amount of insecurity, with a deep lack of grounding.  Some transitions are filled with grief and sadness that we have to work through and process.  And then there are many transitions that are lifegiving and full of excitement.  But no matter the emotion surrounding said transition, all represent an amount of unavoidable change and a life that looks and feels different then it did before.

I wonder how it might feel if, in the midst of those real, tangible transitions that we all inevitably have, if we’re really able to lean into the spaces in life that feel grounded, that feel secure, that feel stable.  What might that grounded space look like to each of us, what might it feel like as we walk through those times of uncertainty and change?

Each of us will have a different answer to what that grounding might look like and feel like, but I think there is deep benefit to be had by being willing to look at what that grounding, that stability, that steadiness might look like to us individually and being willing to find said grounding in our own lives and experiences.

I hope you have an amazingly grounded week, my friends.

Love
Krista
