Have you ever noticed how old patterns tend to resurface—just when you thought you were past them?
They’re not here to punish you. They’re here to show you.
When a karmic pattern reappears, awareness is the starting point for a new choice.
You’re no longer blindly pulled into the same reaction.
You pause.
You see.
And if the lesson has been learned, you’re free to choose differently.
This is especially relevant right now, as Mercury Retrograde is underway—offering us a sacred pause to reflect, revisit, and realign.
Instead of fearing this time, I see it as an opportunity for deep inner work.
A chance to slow down, clear emotional clutter, and make peace with the past from a Soul-aligned space.
One quote I find insightful is:
“Life on planet Earth is a learning process, allowing you a wide variety of experiences on many levels, and more important, the opportunity to learn from your experiences.”
– John-Roger
This perspective always brings me back to the bigger picture. Each
experience—especially the tough ones—is an invitation for growth.
When things stir within me, I sit with my notebook and ask:
What am I learning from this?
That simple question has helped me transform even painful memories into stepping stones for spiritual growth.
It’s also what inspired my book, Your Spiritual Curriculum—a guide to uncovering the deeper meaning in your life experiences and rewriting your inner narrative.
So if something is coming up for you during this retrograde, be gentle with yourself.
You’re learning.
You’re growing.
And you’re not alone.
P.S. If you’re feeling weighed down by guilt or shame—whether from something recent or long past—I invite you to try my Self-Forgiveness Meditation. It’s a gentle space to reconnect with compassion and let go of harsh self-judgment.

You deserve to return to yourself with tenderness and grace.
