Making Space for Stillness
As the year draws to a close on this December 24, 2025,
preparing for 2026,
I’m reminded of the quiet power in making space.
Not just physically—but energetically.
And, perhaps most importantly, mentally.
We only have so much to give.
What we hold onto shapes what can enter.
This past year, I let go of what no longer aligned.
Physically, during our move,
I released old furniture—
pieces that once filled rooms but no longer inspired.
Throwing them away wasn’t easy.
But it created room
for what feels meaningful now.
More importantly, energetically.
I released relationships and friendships
that had run their course—
not with drama,
but with honest recognition
that they no longer served.
Space opened.
New connections arrived, subtler, steadier.
The deepest release was in my work.
I let go of bartending—
lucrative, easy, enjoyable on the surface,
but draining beneath.
It started with subtle signs:
discontent, boredom, restlessness
that lingered for months.
I caught myself feeling uninspired, drained—
despite working part-time, just four days a week.
I didn’t have the energy then to create,
to let my passions manifest. It wasn’t aligned.
It didn’t call on my strengths, my service, my potential.
Leaving meant no secured income,
trusting the next step would come.
That was scary.
It took courage—to follow the nudge,
to honor the intuition whispering through the unrest.
Since then, creative energy flows without limit.
Starting this blog.
Building my craft business.
Launching a marketing agency.
Pursuing commercial real estate.
I work from morning to night, yet I don’t feel depleted.
Ideas keep coming. Burnout stays distant.
It’s what happens when you have the courage
to make space.
To let go of the familiar for what’s true.
And now, as the year ends,
I’m called to create stillness—
space in my thoughts, in my head.
To quiet the noise so I can truly listen.
Intuition speaks subtly.
It nudges through boredom, through discontent—
signs that change is needed.
But they’re easy to miss amid numbing,
distraction, the rush of daily life.
True stillness reveals them.
It opens the door to what excites, to passion,
to the quiet call of alignment.
In these next couple of days,
I’ll sit in that stillness. Dig deeper into intuition.
Shape a 2026 that’s intentional, aligned,
rooted in what’s real.
I invite you to do the same.
As 2025 fades, declutter your life—
especially energetically, mentally.
What can you release?
A habit that numbs.
A commitment that tightens.
A thought pattern that distracts.
Make room.
For clarity.
For flow.
For intuition’s whisper.
The rhythm will carry you into the new year.
With quiet gratitude for this shared space.
