Something is shifting. Maybe you feel it too.

Hey friend. It is Mel.

I have been sitting with something I want to express. Not because it is figured out or fixed, but because it feels like the beginning of something new. Something more expansive and more nourishing.

After what has felt like the longest season of grief and challenge and immense loss, I found myself quieter inside. Changed. Undone. I gave myself fully to the ache again and again, to the unraveling, to what life was asking me to feel. And I know how holy this work is. It was necessary.

But the other day, something stirred.
A soft joy.
Something warm.
Something like possibility.

It whispered,
Can you make space for more now?
Not to bypass what has been true, but because you let it be true.
Not because the grief is over, but because it no longer holds the same charge. It too has changed.

I know this season of depth did its work in, for, and through me. I did not resist it. I let it stretch me, strip me, remake me. I let the old stories loosen. I let the ache move through. And now… there is a shift.

I am remembering that we do not do this work just to stay in the shadows.
We do it so we can emerge.
So we can live more fully.
So we can love more openly and receive more freely.

It is not about seeking the highs.
It is about becoming someone who can hold contrast.
Someone who can be with their full human experience.
Someone who can walk with grief and still recognize beauty.
Someone who can feel the ache and still say yes to the joy that follows.

I am not rushing it.
But I am listening.
And something in me is opening.

Maybe you have felt it too.
A warmth. A softening. A question rising in your own body.
Could there be more waiting for me? Could I trust it now?

This is not about escaping the depth.
It is about honoring how it has readied you.
It is about honoring who you have become in the dark.
It is about recognizing that the depth has shaped you for more life, more love, more truth.

I do not know who needs this today, but I hope you know…

You are allowed to emerge.
You are allowed to want more.
You are allowed to turn toward possibility again.

You are allowed to change.
You are allowed to open.
You are allowed to receive what is rising to meet you.

With love,
Mel
