It is a time of transition here. New beginnings and endings on many fronts.

Last weekend, my daughter and I realized a dream we’ve had for several years of buying our own horse. I grew up riding and have been supporting my daughter’s love of horses by leasing horses for the last few years - waiting for the stars to align to settle into a more permanent relationship with a particular friend of our own. On Saturday, we found Cloe’ - a beautiful five year old quarter horse who will be our next spiritual teacher.

She is already living up to her role.

When we got her home on Sunday, she was a completely different being than the one we lovingly cuddled and rode the day before. She’d been filled with angst related to her move to a new barn, bonding with new humans, and navigating the changes in her environment. Her first lessons to us have been teaching us courage, resolve, and patience.

It’s good medicine.

I’ve been experiencing the same jolting dissonance in other friendships as well over the last week and it has me deep in examining my own stuff and licking my wounds.

As a woman committed to evolutionary velocity, I transform at such a rate of speed that it is hard for me to stay in relationships for very long. I seem to regularly outgrow people and this causes a lot of pain and angst for me and for those who’ve been brave enough to be in relationship with me.

It’s one of the side effects of the game we are in. My students seem to be up against the same issues.

How do we continue to be in relationship if those around us aren’t growing at the same pace?

It can be a lonely road.

On this past week’s Wild Soul Medicine Show, I discussed this phenomena of reconciling your personal growth with the relationships in your life.

We explored:
- Discerning whether it’s your stuff or their stuff - and what to do about it
- How to know if it’s time to say good-bye
- Honoring what was
- Relationships as Catalyst

I hope you’ll make time to listen in to this very important conversation. It may be a bumpy road, but we don’t have to go it alone.

I look forward to deepening our knowing together as we continue discussion in the Tribe.
