Hello There, lovely humans,

It continues to amaze me the invisible yet tangible guidance that has led us all to this moment. 

To me writing this, and you reading it.

This sacred exchange of writing The Mirror has schooled me and opened my capacity to receive and pour. I’m sure like you, life continues to break me open to fuller facets of myself, and gifts I didn't know I was capable of. 

For a long time, I told myself I wasn't a writer. I had reasons: no formal education, no college, no university.  Yet I felt an inexplicable call to do so.  

I’ve noticed the call to create isn’t necessarily about what we already know. It’s what we are willing to let go of in the becoming. The writing doesn't come from having arrived. It comes from willingness to begin and meet what is waiting just beyond the edge of our comfort. This blank screen reminds me it is not me, it’s a gift to co-create with this existence. 

Sometimes the thoughts come through as puzzle pieces, not fully formed. 

I’m beyond grateful for the incredible humans around me who help shape it all – the form, function, and artistry of it. 

(One of my favorite things Mare says to me is, “Pearl, I don’t think that’s a word.”)

We all have different lines of intelligence.
Different gifts.
Different blind spots.

And there is something deeply freeing in not needing to understand everything ourselves. 

We find one another.

We recognize a subtle resonance, something that feels aligned and true, and we help bring it to life.

I guess that’s a long way of saying I’m enjoying writing these. 

And I’ve been deeply moved by what you have reflected back (reading your messages last week about Ann, the woman who hugged me in the parking garage) encourages me to keep going and growing alongside you.

Right now, I’m moving into chapter five of a book that’s been unfolding – A Kinder Way. 

It feels tender. New. Like something I’m learning as I go. 

And maybe that’s the point.
To remain open.
And to allow life to keep humbling us and expanding us all at the same time. 

I’ll share more as it unfolds. For now I’m just here with it, listening, and letting it become what it’s destined to be.

With love and an open page,
Sage 🌿
