Season's Change...But Do You?
Today, after editing my videos, I realized something: I really love creating and talking. Like, genuinely love it. But can we talk about something for a second?
Do any of you struggle with transitioning seasons?
Because here's what happens to me every single fall: the weather shifts, that crisp air rolls in, and suddenly—suddenly—I want to wear all the outfits I didn't touch during the hot summer months. I mean, while the weather was conducive, those clothes weren't even a thought. They hung in my closet, untouched, ignored. But now? Now I'm pulling them out like, "Oh, this would've been perfect!" Except it's October. And wearing a sundress with sandals is now considered... well, inappropriate.
Funny how that works, right?
We want what's out of season once the season has passed.
But here's where it gets deeper.
I was editing one of my lessons today—"Releasing the Last Season"—and as I listened back to myself teach, something hit me. Hard. I realized that as a faith-based midlife woman, my motivation has changed. And after turning 60, I recognized something I'd been avoiding for way too long:
In some ways, I've been holding on to old seasons.
Trying to produce fruit out of season. Trying to squeeze life out of something that's already dried up. Trying to make last year's strategies work in this year's reality. And let me tell you—it's exhausting.
You know that song that says, "Everything must change... nothing stays the same"? It's so true.
But here's what I'm learning: this time, I'm changing as I build in the new season. No more self-sabotage. No more getting stuck in the constant re-do mode—starting over, tearing it all down, rebuilding from scratch because I didn't honor the season I was in.
This time, I'm creating in the right season. And I'm realizing that to do that, I must release what I'm still trying to carry forward when that season is already over.
Because here's the punch line,
You can't step into the new while you're still dressed for the old.
You can't build your next chapter while you're clinging to the last one. You can't grow new fruit while you're watering dead branches. And you certainly can't expect to thrive in fall while you're still trying to live in summer.
So maybe it's time we stop forcing what no longer fits.
Maybe it's time we honor the season we're actually in—and trust that God has something fresh, something new, something perfectly timed waiting for us. Not last season's leftovers. But this season's harvest.
What season are you still holding on to? And what would it look like to finally let it go?
