A LOVE NOTE

“Wild Women: They know instinctively when things must die and when things must live; they know how to walk away, they know how to stay.” — Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Whether it’s in our personal lives or our work, we can only stay in once place for so long before it’s time to grow beyond it. I like to think of these transitional periods as seasons. One of my favorite books, Women Who Run With The Wolves, calls these changes the Life/Death/Life cycle.

Some seasons are punctuated by a new month, a new moon, or a new year. Other seasons just show up, and we know instinctually when it’s time to bring something new to life.

Have you ever felt like everything in your life was changing at once? That’s where I am now. That’s why this month’s mantra is seasons. From an inside look to major changes happening in my life, to tips on using your own cycle to fuel your creativity, and learning how the media news cycle works, I hope this month’s issue helps you navigate your own seasons.
