The Autumn Season

Over the past 5 years I have made a deliberate study of the seasons of life in my own and in those around me. Some seasons namely Winter and Spring are easy to recognize....Winter with its death of old things and Spring which brings a renewal and birth of the new. I have found that Autumn and Summer are slightly more challenging to identify, particularly Autumn in which I find myself currently. This season is a duel between what seem like opposing realities. As in nature, in Autumn we see the fading glory of a past season and also an abundant harvest ultimately knowing that this harvest is temporary as we look towards a dormant Winter. 

I have found this season to be one of the most challenging and rewarding as I have gathered a harvest of years of sowing, learning and growing in my industry through consulting and at the same time have sensed the end of a season with KINGS&PRIESTS. It has been painful and glorious as I have made the transition to embrace the new and let go of the old recognizing that where I once received life was no longer where I wanted to spend my time and resources. 

Unclear of what this "new" looks like I have found comfort in looking at nature and her seasons knowing that this too shall pass and that each transition brings a new perspective and opportunity. I have also learned to let things go in the midst of uncertainty and without a new vision. My business, KINGS&PRIESTS is not "dying" necessarily but rather transitioning to something new. In the meantime helping others start and enhance their business through consulting has given me the opportunity to invest in the dreams of other people and use the knowledge and wisdom that has been developed through my own journey of business development for which I am truly grateful. I look forward to the future and what is to come not knowing if this future includes jewelry design or something entirely different and will most likely include opportunities I do not expect. 

So my question is "What season are you in?"
