๐ฟโจ A little Update โจ๐ฟ
Hello beautiful souls ๐ค
How are you all? ๐ฅฐ
It feels like such a long time since Iโve sat down to write something here!
Since stepping away from The Willows at the end of May, Iโve been on a journey that I never really planned for. A journey inward. A journey of healing, reflection, releasing, rebuilding and learning to listen to myself in a completely different way.
And I think Iโm finally beginning to understand why I needed to step away.
Sometimes life asks us to stop. ๐
Not because weโve failed or because weโve lost our way. But because weโve outgrown the path we were walking.
And thatโs where I feel I am right now. ๐
I am changing.
Physically.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Spiritually.
It feels like Iโm being upgraded from the inside out โ shedding old layers, changing frequency and becoming more aligned with the person Iโm meant to be.
And naturallyโฆ The Willows is changing with me. ๐ฟ
My connection to The Willows hasnโt gone anywhere.
My connection with the work hasnโt gone anywhere.
And my connection with all of you certainly hasnโt gone anywhere. ๐ค
But some things simply don't resonate in the same way anymore.
Ideas, ways of working, expectations, even the vision I once had for The Willowsโฆ some of it feels different now.
And honestly?
I don't know exactly what the new version of The Willows looks like yet.
And I'm learning not to force myself to know. (This has been a challenge, for sure!)
For so long, I think we can feel that we need to have the answers. We need the plan. We need to know what's next.....
But perhaps sometimes the most important part of transformation is allowing ourselves to sit in the not knowing.
So that's what I'm doing.
I'm giving myself more time.
More space.
More permission to heal.
So, with this being said, I'm going to continue taking time away from my usual in-person work until the time feels right to return โ not according to a date in the diary, not because I feel I 'should' be back, but because my body, heart and soul tell me I'm ready. ๐ค
I need to complete this chapter of my own healing before I can truly understand what the next chapter of The Willows is meant to be.
And maybe that's the beautiful thingโฆ
The Willows doesn't need to stay the same just because it has always been this way.
It can evolve. ๐ชท
It can grow. ๐ฑ
It can become something even more aligned with who I am becoming.
๐ฟ The Willows is transformingโฆ because I am transforming. ๐ฟ
For now, I'm allowing that transformation to happen quietly, naturally and without pressure.
But I don't want to disappear completely.
โจ For one week only, I'll be offering a small selection of online readings during the week beginning 7th September, so I'll share more about those very soon.
๐ฎ And because I know how much you all love the pick-a-card readings, tomorrow morning I'll be sharing the September Pick-a-Card reading here on the page, with the card reveals tomorrow evening.
So perhaps this isn't really an ending at all.
Perhaps it's simply the quiet space between chapters.
A pause.
A breath.
A time to become.
And when the time is right, I'll open the doors to whatever The Willows is becoming. ๐ฟโจ
Thank you so much for being here and for allowing me the space to heal. ๐
And thank you for continuing to walk alongside me, even when I've been quiet.
I don't know exactly where this path is leading yetโฆ
But somehow, I have a feeling it's going to be beautiful. ๐ค
With love & blessings, always ๐๐
Lianne
