This year has started with some tumultuous energy. I don’t think it’s just me, it seems to be on the world stage as well. I’m trying to gather my bearings and figure out what it all means for me, but it is challenging.
Time goes by in 9 year cycles. This New Year reflection isn’t just looking back at the last 1 year, it’s the last 9!
It started 2017 (2+1+7=10=1) which was year 1 to 2025 (2+2+5=9), year 9. Now that we’re in 2026 (2+2+6=10=1) it resets back to 1.
This last 9 year cycle was an era of massive changes and growth. My life looked perfect from the outside but what was awakening within me would set my outer world on fire.
9 years later I can’t help but feel that there are big changes coming again. But I wonder if what saved me also stunted me? The middle of the last nine year cycle was 2020–2023. Covid was happening on the world stage and I was divorcing.
I was so grateful to be able to find refuge and safety for myself and my 3 little girls in the midst of the wild. We were alone in a little house in the mountains with wild animals all around yet I have never felt more safe and connected to God. I will treasure those times forever!
However now that we have spent the last couple years re-integrating into the world it feels like I am discovering it for the first time. I am changed and new, it is strange and new.
I have healed many things and let go of so much that needed to be let go of. My kids are older, our lives have changed drastically and so have our needs.
Everything I learned from the last cycle has helped me learn how to navigate and meet my own needs but now I need to step into understanding the needs of others more.
We are not meant to hide from the world forever. We are social creatures by nature and have purpose in our connections, even when it feels scary.
