Our personal seasons of growth and healing

Growth and healing ebb and flow just like the seasons of the natural world. Embracing these seasons allows us to live into them with greater ease and self-compassion as they unfold.

Gracefully letting go

I treasure autumn for many reasons, but especially for the reminder that letting go of that which no longer serves me can be a life-saving act of beauty, not a punishment to be endured.

Ash Wednesday and Lent may seem like a gloomy season, but they can also be a beautiful practice to prepare for the inevitable places of brokenness that come our way to show us that there’s always hope for healing and resurrection. Today’s post shares why I’ve come to treasure this season.

The gift in life’s fallow times

There are times in every life that feel stagnant, with no growth or healing in sight. These times feel like failure, but are actually a gift of a fallow season when we have the chance to anchor past growth deep in our bones and prepare for future growth with greater rooting into our souls.

Learning what works for us to help get us through life’s hard seasons is a crucial part of kintsugi living. What we learn in one hard season can help the process of making other hard seasons easier, but that’s only true if we take the time to clearly articulate what we’ve learned. Here are 6 things I’ve learned that are making a hard season easier for me.

When seasons seem permanent

Sometimes we go through seasons of hardship that seem to stretch on and on and on with no end in sight. It helps to remember that no season lasts forever (no matter what it feels like).

Trimming my heart’s ivy

To live fully means opening myself to love what I love as deeply as I can in each moment knowing all the while that the day will come when I must let it go and having the ability to let it go without clinging when that day does come.
