Hello, Friends!

Life has an uncanny way of steering us into uncharted territories, often when we least expect it. Recently, I’ve found myself on such a path, navigating the intricacies of a torn achilles tendon, subsequent surgery and recovery. As I stand at the threshold of beginning physical therapy, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation—a hope to transition from limited mobility to renewed independence. The healing process has been kind, leaving minimal scars, both physically and metaphorically.

This period of enforced stillness transformed routine tasks into mindful practices. Maneuvering a knee scooter through the confines of home made simple actions—like brushing teeth or fetching water—deliberate and thoughtful. Professionally, being desk-bound necessitated a reevaluation of workflows, leading to greater efficiency, innovative uses of technology, and a deeper understanding of delegation. Embracing assistance became a lesson in humility and community.

This personal interlude resonates with a collective experience we’ve embraced at Inner Journeys. Observing the world’s current flux, we’ve consciously chosen to pause, allowing ourselves to recalibrate and reflect. This hiatus has rekindled my passion for writing, serving as a conduit to connect with you all and to introspect.

Astrologically, we’re approaching a significant event—a total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14. Eclipses are catalysts for change, urging us to address unresolved matters and embrace transformation. For Scorpios, this period highlights the importance of reassessing social connections and health routines, aligning seamlessly with my current experiences. It’s a celestial reminder that pauses are fertile grounds for introspection and growth.

As I embark on this next phase of healing, I am deeply grateful for this community’s support. Let’s collectively embrace these pauses, delve into our inner journeys, and prepare for the renewed paths ahead.

In seeking guidance, I drew a tarot card for today: The Hanged Man. This card symbolizes suspension, surrender, and viewing life from a new vantage point. It encourages us to find wisdom in stillness and trust that pauses precede profound growth.

Warm regards,
Blondie
