I've been having a little trouble finding my rhythm lately.

I came home from Yellowstone with a head full of ideas, a tin full of treasures, and all sorts of creative enthusiasm. I imagined myself settling back into the studio, spreading everything out on the table, and picking up where I'd left off.

Except that's not quite what happened.

Instead, I've been wandering around in a curious state of almost.

Almost ready to begin something. Almost caught up. Almost finding my way back into a familiar routine.

There are projects in various stages of becoming. New things I'm learning to do. Ideas scribbled on scraps of paper and tucked into notebooks. Packages to assemble, words to write, plans to make. Some very exciting things are happening, and I'm genuinely delighted by them.

But man, there are a lot of moving parts.

And I haven't quite figured out the choreography.

There are moments in life when something shifts—quietly, almost imperceptibly. If you’ve been wondering where you are or what comes next, this gentle guide will help you recognize your current season and meet yourself there with clarity and compassion.
