Life changes again.
I often sense changes some time before they actually happen. When I sense something new coming into my life, it makes me impatient and restless, or apprehensive if it is something unwanted. When I sense something leaving my life that I am happy to let go of, I feel relieved. Most difficult is when I sense something is about to leave my life that I want to keep. This can be very unsettling and makes me sad. I experienced the latter since the beginning of this year.
For over a year I was part of a writing community. We were a nice group of women all writing a book. We have supported each other through ups and downs, witnessing each other’s difficulties and breakthroughs. At times, the process was quite emotional – especially for those who wrote about their own life experience. I enjoyed being part of this group.
The situation has changed. Some of the participants have a new job and can no longer attend the meetings, others have finished their book project. New participants are joining but I do not feel connected to them. My life has changed too. In the last few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that this group is no longer the right place for me.
Be in the flow
My husband says: The writing community fulfilled its purpose. Rejoice in all the positive things it has brought into your life and how it has helped you in your development. Be grateful and let go. The void holds space for the new – be curious about the potential that the void holds. When one door closes another door opens. Focus on the new experiences that have already come into your life and will continue to come, one at a time. Life reveals itself in its natural rhythm. Just be in the flow and trust that the right change will happen at the right time.
