As I approach my 62nd birthday, I am feeling a rebirth. There have been some challenges that have propelled me into new rooms in my vast mansion. I had been residing in a single room of sorts that had become quite small. I am ready for the gentle yet powerful expansion that is already well underway. This rebirth is so different from any that have come before. Softer, potent, more of receiving that pushing. Less effort, but showing up fully in presence and allowing for the unknown waters to carry me.
Bernadette, this feels like sacred storytelling. That image of your vast mansion and the brave step into rooms long waiting for you…it’s poetic and powerful.
"Less effort, but showing up fully in presence and allowing for the unknown waters to carry me"...that feels like what these times are asking of us. Thank you for letting us walk this part of the hallway with you.
To others reading: If any part of this stirs something, I’d love to hear what inner rooms you’re stepping into (or even just peeking into) for the first time.
Kudos on launching your own Substack, Bernadette. What a gift to have your way of deep listening, care, and presence now woven into the Substack ecosystem! https://substack.com/@bernadetteorgconsultant

Your writing feels like a soothing balm. Thank you Laureen.
Thank you, Bernadette! Your words are a balm back to me.
