🌹Field Note: The Pause Before the Pivot

Sometimes leadership begins in the silence between breaths.

(Because sometimes, the most powerful movement is stillness.)

This morning, before the world began moving too fast, I sat by the window watching the light change across the water.
Everything felt quiet — but alive.

There’s a moment in every transformation where the old rhythm has ended, and the new one hasn’t yet begun.
It can feel like nothing is happening.
But in truth, everything is rearranging itself beneath the surface.

For years, I used to rush this part — to fill the silence with plans, strategy, momentum.
I equated stillness with stagnation.
But the more I’ve studied energy and Human Design, the more I see that life breathes in waves.
Every exhale needs its inhale.
Every expansion needs its pause.

The pause is not the absence of movement — it’s the recalibration before your next expression of coherence.
It’s where the new frequency forms.

So, if you’re in that space right now — between the life you’ve known and the one that’s calling you forward — take a breath.
You are not behind.
You are becoming.

The new current is already forming under your feet.
Your only job is to stay attuned.

When it’s time to move, you’ll know.
And when you do, the movement will feel like remembering.

With love and presence,
