Hello Reader.
This past weekend, Chris and I enjoyed a quiet weekend in the forest and officially closed up camp for the season.
It’s always a bittersweet ritual . . . enjoying our warm morning coffee by the fire in a golden forest, taking down the tents and party lights, bringing the canoe back up from the lake, covering the wood piles, and feeling both gratitude and a little ache as we say goodbye to another season in the forest.
Our new shed is full, the girls had a great time chasing chipmunks and tumbling through piles of leaves, and I found myself reflecting on the rhythm of endings and beginnings as I considered how every closing holds the seed of something new.
It reminded me of my personal Crystal Forecast reading from last year.
The stone that came forward for me as an ally for the year was Ruby in Fuscite, with the message: “It’s time to shake things up.”
At the time, I wasn’t sure what that meant… but as this year has unfolded, I can see its wisdom playing out . . . From welcoming Clover into our family, to letting go of our beloved camper, and now considering a part-time, temporary return to Occupational Therapy (yes you read that right. Are you surprised? I was and yet it feels soooo right. I share more in this week's podcast episode). Life has definitely been rearranging itself in the most unexpected ways.
These shifts are inviting me to look at what it really means to harvest what’s been planted, to circle back into things I thought were complete, and to discover what still holds life and vitality.
That’s what I’m exploring in this week’s episode of The Luminary Life Podcast:
🎧 The Sacred Return: Receiving What You’ve Grown
Listen Here → https://loriaandrus.com/when-your-soul-calls/
In this conversation, I share how we can honor our soul's harvest (the projects, dreams, and seasons we’ve tended) and receive their full gifts before moving on to what’s next.
It’s about recognizing that expansion doesn’t always mean doing more.
Sometimes, it means circling back to what we’ve already created and discovering the new growth waiting there.
And speaking of new growth, tomorrow I will be speaking at the Mind Body Spirit Expo, sharing more on this theme in my talk Soul-Led Expansion: Honor the Sacred Harvest of Your Spirit. If you’re attending, I’d love for you to join me! More information and a link below. Scroll Down.
With love from the studio,
Lori
