This month’s reading at the well was unmistakable: my soul has shifted seasons. Not in a dramatic way, but in a way that changes what is no longer sustainable. The invitation is not to work harder or fix myself, but to release patterns that once made sense and now quietly erode alignment.
Gratitude is the context that allows me to acknowledge what has carried me here. My history, my resilience, my ancestors’ labor, and my own devotion to growth, I acknowledge without clinging to past identities or emotional ties that keep me past-based. I honor what shaped me without living from it as if the past is still the present.
To live the result this reading inspires, I see clearly that some things must stop.
- I choose to stop waiting for certainty before moving. My life is no longer asking for proof that I’m ready. Trust is not the reward at the end of clarity, but rather, it is the ground from which clarity grows. Waiting has become a subtle form of self-doubt, and this season is asking me to lead myself forward without the entire path revealed.
- I choose to stop relating to vulnerability as a problem. Tenderness, uncertainty, and fear are not signs that I’m off track; they are signals that I’m alive and in motion. When I treat vulnerability as something to manage or override, I abandon the very place where passion and authenticity live.
- I choose to stop carrying emotional ties that keep the past active in the present. The lessons and wisdom carry through - transcending and including. But the charge, the looping, the self-questioning does not belong to who I am becoming. Releasing does not mean erasing. It means freeing energy for creative flow.
- I choose to stop confusing effort with alignment. This month calls for less forcing and more listening. Creativity does not emerge from pressure; it arises from presence. My work, my leadership, and my relationships are strongest when they are fueled by clarity and passion, not urgency or proving. And perhaps most importantly,
- I choose to stop withholding friendship from myself and others. A values-based life requires an internal relationship rooted in kindness, honesty, and trust. When I meet myself as an ally instead of a critic, clarity becomes natural, and others can be met with the same. Choices soften. Purpose steadies.
What this reading inspires is not a dramatic reinvention, but a grounded return to my values, to my intention, to my purpose. Leadership this month is inner leadership: choosing what aligns even when it’s quiet, even when it’s unseen, even when it asks me to stand without external validation.
This is the Spring of my soul.
And the result I am choosing is not just growth, but coherence, a life where what I value, what I intend, and how I live are no longer in conflict. That coherence begins not with doing more, but with letting go of what no longer belongs - mistrust.
