Many a storm you would have felt and maybe many a storm still to come. That doesn’t mean you need to fear them, I would suggest that when it clears you take a look at what it has washed away.

2024 was a storm for my history books but it cleared the path of the past. It took me to my knees and that grounded me fully.

I took that isolation as a sign to get to work. Unpack myself, identify traits and recognise unwelcome yet protective patterns. Being alone is not silent, its defeaning and ultimately defining.

Don’t get me wrong, it felt messy at times and so heart crushingly confusing. A future I felt so sure of-completely dismantled and key characters removed from the game. Essentially it is a game and I was free now to make the next move.

The heart can break but it can also repair and a person who heals fully and alone is a force to be reckoned with. Not because it has makes you hard, quite the opposite. It makes you whole.

The mind can- in your weakness play on your fragile state. I think the ego sees that as protection and that’s important to note. Feelings of worthlessness and failure are perfectly normal and par for the bumpy course.

There is often a safety in those feelings, at least you know the outcome and you are some what prepared. Push through and as you knit back together – the really good stuff happens. 

You learn. You see the storm as an opportunity for change. A necessary unravelling of the old to make way for the new. Yes- the unknown is scary and feels vulnerable. Trust me when I tell you that the other side of chaos breathes calm and the other side of broken brings bravery. 

You become open to receive what has been searching for you all along. When the fog lifts – it gifts you a life view that is crystal clear. You will be shown yourself and others- exactly as they truly are. Understand why you are being shown this and move accordingly.

Wobbles still occur but your reactions are smaller now and you process them quickly, with master precision. They don’t leave scars anymore, they leave a  better understanding of self and some very welcome grace.

I know you may feel like you are battling the storm right now…….but storms get tired

too.
