A Gentle Check-In for the Soul
Can you believe we’re already more than halfway through 2025? This year has been full of wonder and awe. Yes, it's also had a few bumps and rough patches along the way, but we are still here, and that alone is a testament to our resilience and perseverance.Isn’t it interesting how time can feel like it’s racing by one moment and standing still the next? So far, I’ve made meaningful strides toward the goals I set, and as I enter this next half of the year, I’m going full throttle, totally committed to finishing what I’ve started. And while that’s exciting, I’ll be honest: it’s also a little nerve-wracking. Passion sometimes flickers under the weight of unexpected delays or detours. But I’ve learned that courage can coexist with uncertainty. I’ve also learned the power of being held by community when I need encouragement, and honoring solitude when I need to recharge.
Originally, this post was going to be a reflection on some of the troubling things I’ve seen and heard lately. But instead, I felt an intense nudge in my spirit to pause and reflect on how far I’ve come, and to encourage you to do the same! It’s easy to focus on what’s not working. Harder sometimes to truly acknowledge our growth. That’s why both solitude and community are vital; they help us see ourselves clearly, through rest and reflection, and through the eyes of those who remind us who we are.
So here’s a gentle invitation before you move on to your next task or goal...
Pause, Reflect, and Ask yourself:
- What have I learned so far this year?
- Where have I grown, even in ways I didn’t expect?
- What am I proud of, even if it’s something small?
- What am I ready to do differently in this next chapter?
- How do I want to show up in this next version of myself?
This is your moment to regroup, refocus, and reimagine. You’re allowed to be both a work in progress and a masterpiece in motion.
With love and support,
Stacie J.
