Seasons of Stillness

I feel so loved. Supported. Validated for my decision. Thankyou. These feelings arrived with a change of personal seasons, with a shift in my stillness. While searching for stillness in the seasons,  I found support in my stillness.

Seeking the stillness in the seasons.

That’s my tagline. Sometimes seeking that stillness takes you to a place where your life is enriched and expanded.  Sometimes it draws you in, draws your focus a bit more narrow. There is a season for everything.

Last year my search led me to a mastermind group.

I joined this group of colleagues to hone my skills as a piano teacher and studio owner: to bring a kind of stillness to this part of my life through more intentionality. I gained so much over the year from this wonderful group of people that grew to be more than colleagues to me. My life was enriched and expanded. I felt so loved, supported and validated. I have more internal stillness now as a piano teacher and studio owner because of the time spent in this group with these beautiful people. Seasons like this are special.

Now seeking the stillness is drawing me in.

Drawing me in to focus on what I need to do this year. This year is different. This year I need to narrow my focus. The stillness I gathered from my mastermind group and brought to my studio is not only helping me to run my business more calmly, but also freeing up my mind to better focus on homeschooling . And the time I need to homeschool means that I must let go of the mastermind group. A bit ironic. A lot sad. A good choice. A change of seasons.

Sharing the change was not easy.

When I let the mastermind group know of my decision they responded with understanding and reassuring encouragement. Just like you would expect from of group of masterminds. I am calm. I am still. Their loving responses have given me what I needed today. Although I will miss the regular interaction with these of my tribe, I am assured of their collective and individual support. They know about seasons.

I feel so loved. Supported. Validated for my decision. Thankyou.

I continue seeking the stillness in the seasons. Sometimes the seeking takes you to a place where your life is enriched and expanded.  Sometimes it draws you in, draws your focus a bit more narrow. There is a season for everything.
