Learning how to lean isn’t weakness. It’s trust. It’s balance. It’s how we keep going without breaking.
Today I’m reflecting on strength, vulnerability, and the quiet courage of not carrying everything alone.

I’ve quietly released a small book called “Soul Sparks. The Little Book of Short Tales”
It’s a gentle collection of reflections for pause, perspective, and a little light.
Grateful to finally share it.

February- Nurturing the heart
January was about beginning. About remembering that we belong.
February asks us to be quieter. Not fixing.
Listening to where the heart is tired. Making room for what is still trying to live.
This month is a slow conversation.
Tend what is trying to live.

Beginnings get the applause.
Staying is quieter.
There’s courage in choosing to tend instead of escape.
In remaining.
In not running.
Some of the most important things begin there.

Still arriving.
Not through certainty or momentum, but by returning — to the page, to the work, to the part of myself that wants to keep going even when things are unfinished.
The quiet middle matters.

Not in a loud, polished way — just by returning, writing, and letting this space exist as it is.

There is a difference between silence and listening.
Silence is learned. Listening is remembered.
The noise thins, something opens — a quieter knowing that doesn’t rush or explain.
This is recalibration.
Stay.
The listening has already begun.

I’m exploring that threshold through a new writing space called Soul Sanctuary Hub — a place for reflection, renewal, and listening inward after long years of responsibility.
Sharing here for those who may recognise the moment.
