“I disappeared for a while… and it was intentional.”
Sometimes life nudges you to slow down. At first it’s subtle—little feelings, little signs that something isn’t quite right. But if you’re paying attention, you realize those whispers are your inner guidance trying to get through.
And if you don’t listen?
The whispers get louder.
I’ve said this over and over to clients and friends – and just because I know this, it doesn’t make me immune to it. Eventually life finds a way to get your attention and focus on what you have been avoiding, whether you like it or not. You know what I’m talking about.
For me, the feeling came about three weeks after I moved in November 2025. Nothing dramatic had happened, but deep down I knew something wasn’t right.
Things were not clicking in to place. My experience has been that when it’s meant to be, everything goes smoothly.
Instead, unpacking and settling into my new home was bumpy, uncomfortable, and … way more emotional than I expected. Christmas was only four weeks away and I had a few other commitments that were at risk. I could already see the storm of busyness heading my way.
I had enough awareness to know that I did not have it in me to ride both of those dragons at the same time.
So I did something I rarely do.
I pressed pause.
Not because everything was falling apart… but because I could feel that if I didn’t stop and recalibrate, something inside me would.
I got back to journaling, sitting down with my thoughts, giving myself time to sort and sift through events and feelings I did not understand. I trusted my intuition, and accepted that the answer would come.
Not the whole story.
And then something interesting started to happen… which reminded me of an important life principle :
Our past are chapters. Not the whole story. The best pages may still be unwritten.

Have you ever paused your life? I suspect I am not the only one who has felt life telling me to slow down?
This blog is my public journal, an outlet that helps me connect with you, to share and express ideas, thoughts and reflections that are meaningful to me. It allows my creativity to flow and lets my intuition take me wherever positive vibrations are drawing me.
At times, my messages are to coach others, and other times, the intentions are simply to share, and celebrate whatever insight I have come upon. I enjoy interacting with new people and helping them to disengage from the minutiae of daily life to see the bigger picture. These conversations inevitably lead to inspiration and some of my greatest joys are sharing aha moments with someone whose life purpose becomes clearer.
I am attracting incredible opportunities in my life, and as long as I can, I will seize the day! Thank you for coming along.
