Subject: One More Important Message

Dear Soul Friend,

Hey it’s Sarah again!! I felt called to send one more note today.

Sometimes it’s hard to give ourselves permission—to rest, recharge, go inward, and reset. So let me offer this simply:

You have permission.

It’s winter. A natural pause. A season for rest and reflection. I know this can be uncomfortable for those of us who like to move, create, and go. But the weather keeps us inward—toward warmth, coziness, and listening. At least that’s where I am.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with someone I deeply trust, and as we wrapped up she said:

“Sarah, you have permission to go inward, rest, and reflect right now.”

It landed.

I’m in a deep creative phase, and I’ve had to cancel a few plans this week—including one with a new friend. Beneath the little pang of guilt was a deeper truth: I needed self-care. When we honor that, we actually show up more fully later. Even at 47, I’m still remembering this. These patterns—especially people-pleasing—run deep.

If this resonates, here are a few gentle questions to sit with:

• Where am I asking for permission instead of listening to my inner yes or no? 

• What part of me is tired but hasn’t been acknowledged yet? 

• What would rest look like if it didn’t have to be earned? 

• What wants to be created after I pause—not before? 

• If I trusted my timing completely, what would I release right now?

No rush. No pressure. More will come when it’s ready.

For now, let this be enough.

Walking home with you, 

Sarah 💙
