How joyful it is when dreams come true! But it’s just as joyful when past dreams fall away with the realization that they were illusions or attempts to compensate for something that no longer needs to be compensated for.

Nearly the entire month of November has been dedicated to a deep exploration of ourselves, rethinking the emotional and aspirational baggage we’ve accumulated over the years. And now, it turns out much of it is no longer—or perhaps never was—truly about us or for us.

🌈 There is so much acceptance in this process—acceptance of ourselves, our true desires, and our authentic values—that even the “shattering of a dream” becomes a small celebration. A celebration of freedom from imposed ideas about who we are and what our path should be, a celebration of the true Self.

We open the doors, making room for new ships, new sails, and a fresh tailwind. A new journey, free from unnecessary burdens on our hearts!

May all doors open for you!
