Dear there ,
It is the week before I turn 52.
And I’m standing in that quiet, sacred space where reflection turns into clarity. Where endings turn into invitations. Where age becomes less about the number and more about knowing.
This birthday, I don’t feel the pressure to reinvent myself.
I feel the pull to remember myself.
This is what I have learned so far:
Softness is not a detour from strength. It is the root of it. Boundaries are built on clarity, not anger, and are sacred. Becoming isn’t something that you chase. It’s something you allow.
This is what I am releasing:
The need to “arrive” anywhere other than here. The weight of timelines that were never mine. The shrinking I’ve done to make others more comfortable. (heavy on this one!)
This is what I’m claiming:
And now, a love note for you.
To this community:
Thank you.
Thank you for opening my words when I wasn't sure they mattered.
Thank you for letting me be soft.
Thank you for walking beside me, not because I have it all figured out, but because you’re becoming, too.
I’ve introduced The Elementa Way, my embodied coaching experience, my writing, and the lessons I’ve learned in both stillness and fire.
But today? I just wanted to say:
I’m so grateful you’re here.
📘 Personal Note: The draft of the book is complete and I'm reviewing and working on getting a copy editor. I'm hoping to have it ready for publication for the holidays.
With birthday breath and reverence,
GalandaB
