A New Phase

Life has a way of shifting quietly into new seasons without any grand announcement.

Changes begin slowly, one adjustment at a time, until there comes a moment of recognition when you realise the ground beneath your feet has already moved.

For many years I worked for myself, and every hour of my day was carefully arranged, measured out carefully, around the house, the children, my husband, and myself.

I knew the rhythm because I created it, fitting each piece into its place so that the whole family could move in sync.

Now I find myself working for a company, and that simple fact has transformed everything.

It requires me to carve out hours from a schedule that was already tightly bound, and it requires my family to adjust alongside me.

Tasks I once carried naturally have shifted into my husband’s hands, while other responsibilities we are still navigating day by day.

This week the groceries were late, and one morning there were no clean socks for the girls.

These small details reveal the learning curve we are on, and though they may feel inconvenient in the moment, they also speak of a household in transition.

The children are feeling it as well, each of them in her own way.

Their emotions in recent days have been immense and I am still learning how to hold space for that while holding space for my work.

There have been mornings when I typed with one child curled across my lap, afternoons when another stretched out on the floor by my feet simply to be in the same room, and moments when little hands have delivered coffee or snacks with such earnest care that it made me smile.

This new phase brings excitement, new challenges, and opportunities, while also carrying with it a bit of grief for the season before, when I was fully at home and everything seemed to rest within my reach.

That chapter was rich and beautiful, and releasing it is not simple.

Yet as we move forward, I remind myself that life rarely asks us for perfection; what it offers instead is the chance to keep learning, adjusting, and growing, even through late groceries and socks that never quite make it to the drawer.

I would love to hear… what new season of life are you finding yourself in right now?

PS: If you’d like to support my work with a one-time gesture, thank you so much! Buy Me a Coffee.

PPS: once a month, paid subscribers will receive a special letter, a little deeper and more personal than my public posts.

They’ll be reflections I don’t want to publish widely, because they’re too personal, too sacred, or still taking shape.

This will be in addition to all the paid content I already share: the essays, reflections, and creative pieces that you’ve been receiving as part of your subscription.

My free posts will always remain (and I’m so grateful you read them).

But this new layer is for those who wish to walk a little closer, to share the moments I usually keep in my notebook.I hope you’ll join me in this next part of the journey ♥️
