A new season

With a new season,

we can welcome new opportunities

to re-emerge, to refresh, and to reflect

And in our spring cleaning, perhaps we can think about our patterns,

the same way we think about our clothes.

What can we let go of, as we embrace for a new season of life?

Those we want desperately to fit, that we can't seem to let go of?

The ones that once made us comfortable, that now no longer serve us.

The styles we copied from others that maybe never really belonged.

Those that were handed down from family,

or gifted from relationships.

Those from childhood.

Those that are torn and we have repeatedly stitched back up.

Those ripped so badly they can't be mended.

And in this season of letting go,

what can we open ourselves up to?

The styles we tried on to feel brave and daring.

The ones that help us feel our best selves,

and our most authentic selves.

The ones that go with everything,

That never go out of style

The ones that fit just right,

as we re-emerge in every season of life
