The newest Still Point is in inboxes this morning.

This issue is about the quiet assumption that we can keep handling everything, and what it might look like to set a little of it down before the holiday season gets loud.
There’s also a pay-it-forward coffee board I found in Munising, MI, and a five-minute reset you can try today.

DM me for the link if you’re not on the list yet.

That’s Katie Busch of The Recharge Suite and me, pointing at the door to the space where The Holiday Reset will happen on October 24.

Katie built this day for women who are usually the ones making sure everyone else has a good season. I’m bringing the watercolor, a little time to slow your mind down, and zero pressure to be good at it.

If you’ve been wondering whether a day like this is for you, here’s a simple test:

👉 Do you usually plan the holidays for everyone else?
👉 Do people come to you when looking for an answer?
👉 Do you have a lot of mental tabs open that need closing?

✨ Then yes. ✨

Women only, small group, and spots are filling. Use code KateT when you reserve your spot: https://rechargesuite.com/page/the-recharge-retreat

As a kid, she always stayed in the lines when coloring.

At this afternoon’s intimate Sole 2 Soul Counseling & Wellness session, one participant shared that with me and said this way of painting was newer for her. She used tape to created boundaries on her page, then painted right over them like they weren’t there.

When she peeled the tape away, the edges showed up again, but you could still see where her painting had moved past them. It was a joy to watch her find comfort in the boundaries and then step beyond them.

I also joined in, painting alongside everyone, and tried something new myself: liquid acrylic. Parts of my painting hadn’t fully dried, so when I dropped in the black, it started blurring with the wet watercolor.

I embraced the "oops!", laughed about it, and eventually made it work. (More on what I did with that painting soon!)

Thank you to everyone who came ready to play!

Same coastline... Two different days.

One day was calm enough to kayak 5 miles with a gentle wind and the stunning cliffs towering over us.

The next day, we watched white capped waves from high above on a 10 mile, 7.5-hour hike (you bet we stopped a lot to take in those views!).

Both views were beautiful. Neither one was wrong.

Perspective doesn't change what's true. It changes what you notice.

That's most of what a guided creative session does too: same materials, same sheets of watercolor paper, and somehow everyone sees something different.

Some trails ask more of you before they give you the view.

The Fall Seasonal Pause Watercolor Series focusing on layering, texture, and mixed media is almost here.

It’s been fun layering in mixed media with watercolor during this series! Excited to add in acrylic markers this time.

DM me or Sole 2 Soul Counseling & Wellness for more info!

Found this spot on a cliff overlooking the coastline and just sat there, soaking it in while actively meditating and being present.

Sometimes the best reset doesn’t come from a class or a tool.

It’s just distance, quiet, and a view big enough to make your mental load feel small for a minute.
