Learning to Cradle by Glenda Myles

When grief settles like winter frost across the chambers of my heart, I no longer fight its presence, no longer wish to tear it apart.

Instead, I cup my palms together as if holding morning dew— this ache, this weight, this weathered feeling deserves its gentleness too.

Like holding water in sand, I learn to be both vessel and shore, allowing pain its sacred space while leaving room for something more.

There are others, countless others, whose hearts bear similar weight. Together we form constellations of healing as we wait.

And in this tender holding, this careful, patient art, I discover that compassion flows both towards and from the heart.

The hurt may stay its season, may linger like fallen leaves, but now it rests in kinder hands— in the shelter that mercy weaves.

Welcome to Scorpio season and a new month of Ground and Grow! Our theme for the month is Transformation and Grief.

Join us starting Friday, November 1st as we explore this theme deeper in Ground & Grow.

Self-leadership is the practice of taking responsibility for your own growth, decisions, and well-being. It’s about leading your life from the inside out—grounding yourself in who you are and aligning your actions with your deeper values and intentions. And when we add mindfulness to that, it’s about being fully present with ourselves, aware of our inner world, and intentional in our responses to life’s challenges.

When you practice mindful self-leadership, you’re not just reacting to the world around you—you’re taking charge of how you show up, how you respond, and how you move through life’s transitions. And that brings us to the heart of this month’s theme: transformation.

Webinar Series

I want to take a moment to mention that, alongside this theme, we’re continuing our Transitions and Transformations Webinar Series. In our last session, we discussed how transitions can feel overwhelming but are often gateways to personal growth. If you haven’t had a chance to tune in yet, I encourage you to check it out—it’s a deeper dive into the emotional impact of transitions and how we can use them as opportunities to transform.

Our November session is on Nov 20th at 12pm CT/1pm ET - Exploring the role of Grief in Life Changes.

As we close out Libra season of balance and enter Scorpio’s season of grief and transformation, we take a moment to reflect.

As we close out Libra season, the sign of harmony and balance, it’s the perfect time to reflect:

* Where in your life do you feel in alignment?

* And where are you being called to make subtle adjustments to regain balance?

Scorpio Season

* What am I holding onto that I need to let go of?

* What part of me needs to die so that something new can be born?

Some upcoming events:

* Living Funeral Meditation on November 3rd

* Transitions to Transformation webinar series - November 20th
