A Series on It’s All in The Reflection
It’s in Your Reflection, Isn’t It?
You’ve wandered, tasted, sketched… and now, the wine glass is half full. What’s rising to the surface?
The Looking Glass
Think back to the Main Street Dock or China Point Overlook. Imagine the river flowing through your soul. Let it mirror your thoughts.
Let questions come — not with urgency, but with patience.
What might they be?
What needs aging in your life before it’s ready to pour?
Some things aren’t meant to be rushed.
Like trust.
Or wisdom.
Sometimes you need to walk the long road twice.
What parts of your story are still in the barrel? Quietly aging and gaining a deeper, richer meaning?
Where has love been quietly maturing beneath the surface?
Love doesn’t always announce itself with fireworks.
Sometimes it waits.
Steady, soaking in moments of faithfulness, tenderness, and care.
Where has love shown up in your life like an old vine you forgot was growing? What might bloom if you take the time to tend to it?
If healing were a vintage, what year would it begin?
Think back.
Not just to the moment of pain, but to when you first chose to begin again.
To move forward?
Maybe the vintage was the year you forgave.
Or the season when grief softened.
Healing doesn’t come with a label, but it has a flavor — one that deepens with every passing year. Can you taste the grace in it now?
Is your heart craving boldness — or balance?
Life will ask you to leap…
and to linger.
There are seasons where the spirit thirsts for risk,
and others where it seeks harmony.
What’s your soul aching for in this moment? Are you pouring too fast, or holding back? Listen closely — the answer might be a blend of both.
And when was the last time you let silence speak first?
Before the conversation.
Before the solution.
Before the next chapter.
When did you last let quiet be your guide?
Silence doesn’t mean absence — it often means presence. Maybe the pause is where the real pour begins. What do you think?
Your journey isn’t over. It’s unfolding. Like flavor. Like grace. Like memories swirling at the bottom of the glass. You feel them. Yet, sometimes don’t remember the details. And that is okay.
Why?
Because what matters isn’t just what you see around you —
It’s in Your Reflection, Isn’t It?
Are we still good? Ready to forge ahead?
Fort Bragg will be our next stop.
So pull up a chair. Pour a beverage. Something bold or bubbly. Your choice. We’ll meet in Fort Bragg. See you there!
