From still water…
a quiet beginning.

From the break…
new life.

The lotus does not fear the dark—
it becomes because of it.

This Part of Healing Is Often Misunderstood

Not all healing feels expansive.

In clinical work, there is a phase where individuals report:
• feeling less emotionally reactive
• withdrawing from social engagement
• needing more space than they once did

This is often interpreted as disconnection, regression, or even depression.

But there is another way to understand it.

From a nervous system perspective, this can reflect:

A protective adaptation.
A temporary narrowing of emotional bandwidth
in response to prolonged stress, demands, or emotional overload.

In other words…

What looks like “less feeling”
may actually be the body’s way of preserving stability.

This is one of the many themes I explore in my upcoming work:

Let’s enter this new year without resolutions—
just a willingness to keep showing up.

For some time now, I’ve been tending a body of work quietly.
A slow, unfolding project called Transformative Awakenings.

I chose that name years ago because it reflects the kind of change I believe in—
not sudden reinvention,
but the small, honest awakenings that happen
when we stay present long enough to listen.

The moments when something softens.
When truth surfaces.
When we meet ourselves with a little more compassion than before.

There’s no timeline. No release date.
Just a steady return—to the page, to presence, to truth.

This piece feels like the right way to begin the year.
Not with promises or resolutions, but with intention.

A Willingness to Keep Showing Up
Transformative Awakenings • Becoming, gently.

Feeling sad during the holidays, often called the “holiday blues,” is a common experience. There are several reasons this might happen:

1. High Expectations
The holidays are often portrayed as a time of joy, family togetherness, and celebration, which can create pressure to feel happy and fulfilled. If reality doesn’t match these expectations, it can lead to sadness or disappointment.

2. Loneliness or Isolation
If you’re far from loved ones, have a strained family dynamic, or lack close connections, the holidays can amplify feelings of loneliness.

3. Grief or Loss
The holidays can bring up memories of loved ones who have passed away or highlight changes in relationships, making the season feel bittersweet or sorrowful.

4. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
The shorter days and limited sunlight during winter months can lead to depressive symptoms for some people.

5. Financial Stress
The pressure to buy gifts, travel, or participate in holiday activities can create financial strain, leading to anxiety and sadness.

6. Overwhelming Responsibilities
Managing family gatherings, cooking, decorating, and other holiday tasks can feel overwhelming, leaving little time for self-care.

Today, we are uncertain of the direction our country will face after Election Day, tomorrow, November 5.
Many of us are scared, frustrated and maybe even hopeless. Many of us are confident, optimistic and ready.

No matter where you may be along this line, I am asking that we think about each other even more than perhaps we typically do.
Because no matter the direction we turn tomorrow, we will continue to need each other. We will continue to rely on one another for guidance, assistance, and support through good times and times that challenge us.
