What you are seeking, is seeking you

Can’t see for looking?

Me neither. I’ve spent months looking for the perfect retreat and workshop space for my work to be housed in, somewhere close to nature, intimate but spacious, inspiring but practical, with a little bit of luxe thrown in.

This search has been going on a while. Like, a few years. 

I’ve used some amazing spaces for my work, but none really felt fully aligned. And then about 2 weeks ago, it hit me: I’m already standing on it.

Right here in the Tamar Valley, in beautiful West Devon, on the ancient and healing land we already own, is the space I’ve been trying to find. I don’t need to rent or buy someone else’s vision; I can build my own.

And now I am. Within days of that realisation, the planning has started. (More on that soon…)

But it’s got me thinking.

How often do we exhaust ourselves searching, when the answer is quietly waiting nearby?

How often do we pretend we don’t know, what already is here and is true? 

So, some thoughts to ponder this Friday, as we head into the weekend:

What if the clarity you’re chasing isn’t ‘out there’ but tucked quietly inside what you already know and feel?

Where in your life are you overcomplicating something that might actually be simple?

If you stopped trying to ‘figure it all out’, what truth would gently rise to the surface?

Try this: take a breath, drop into your body, and ask: what’s already here, waiting to be seen?

That thing you keep Googling late at night. What if the answer isn’t on a search engine but in your Sunday morning daydreams?

What have you already imagined, or quietly longed for, that deserves a second look?

Sometimes we don’t need a map. We just need to stop pretending we’re lost.

What do you already know about the next step, deep down, but haven’t let yourself trust yet?

If you relaxed the grip just a little, what might just take hold?

What signs, nudges or patterns have been repeating in your life, quietly trying to get your attention?

And if any of this rung a bell for you, let me know, I love hearing from you.
