Like the autumn outside my window, I too find myself in a season of death and release. I am shedding the leaves of my life, letting go of the things that no longer serve me and that won’t have a place in the next chapter of my journey. Just as trees release their leaves in preparation for winter, I am releasing the material things, the habits, and even some relationships that I know won’t grow with me into the next season of my life.
Autumn is a cycle of ups and downs, just like life itself. There have been cooler days—those moments of stillness, of hibernation, when all I could do was sit with my thoughts, reflect, and rest. There have also been warmer days of action, movement, and making decisions that push me forward. I am tarrying through this autumn phase, learning to appreciate the balance between stillness and activity, between letting go and preparing for what’s next.
As I move through this season, I look forward to the winter ahead—a time when I will nestle deep within myself, to explore unknown parts of my soul, to unearth passions that have long since been buried. Winter will be my season of inner repair, where I will have the quiet space I need to heal, to learn, and to grow. I know that, like the trees, I will emerge from this period renewed, budding with new life and possibilities when my spring arrives.
Decisions are being made, plans are being laid, and material things are being shed. With every step I take toward this next chapter, I find myself feeling more aligned with the trees outside. I am giving one last shout, one final celebration to the season of my life that has sustained me for so long. This phase has shaped me, just as autumn shapes the earth, but now it is time to release it and prepare for the next.
The beautiful thing about autumn is the way it celebrates its own ending with such vibrant colors, such boldness. I, too, will celebrate this ending with grace, knowing that an even more glorious season is just ahead. What lies beyond the winter of self-discovery is a spring full of new beginnings, new growth, and a life that is more vibrant and aligned than ever before.
So here I am, in my autumn, letting go, trusting the process, and looking forward to the rebirth that awaits me.
