Hello Reader

​

Today is a unique day marked by celebrations around the world—Halloween for some and Diwali for others. It’s rare for these festivals to coincide, given the lunar nature of the Hindu calendar. This year, Diwali falls on October 31st, adding an extra layer of reflection and connection to this time.

​

For many, Halloween is all about costumes, candy, and playful frights. I remember when it was a major event for my family, filled with energy and excitement as my kids prepared their costumes. Now, as they’ve grown older, this day has shifted in meaning, becoming quieter and less central. Diwali, too, feels different this year. With my older son away at college and my younger one soon following, the celebration holds a mix of joy and longing.

​

I’m in the midst of my own transformation, one that comes with its share of letting go—sometimes by choice, sometimes not. The moments of loss are real, but so is the acceptance that each shift is leading me toward growth. The support from family, my coach, and other healers has been essential in navigating this period.

​

Transformation isn’t easy; it involves shedding what no longer serves us, even when it’s difficult. We often crave change but avoid the painful letting go that makes room for it. This season, whether it’s through the playful darkness of Halloween or the deep symbolism of Diwali’s light, reminds us that the journey to transformation starts within. We must acknowledge our whole selves, including the parts we’ve hidden, before we can invite in the light and create the change we truly seek.

If you’d like to read more on the theme of light overcoming darkness, feel free to revisit my 2020 blog post—it still resonates today.

And if you’re ready to embrace your transformation with the support of someone who has been through it, I invite you to book an “Awaken Your Purpose” call with me.

Sending love on your journey,
