THE COLOR OF MY NEXT CHAPTER

THE SEASON OF STILLNESS

Published: April 15, 2025

 

I feel it in my bones: it’s time for a life reset.

Over the last year and a half, I made an intentional decision to slow down. I removed the noise, simplified my life and chose peace.

I wasn’t running from anything... I was returning to myself. I leaned into stillness in a way I never had before. I practiced what I like to call the art of nothingness: quiet mornings in the garden, solo days in my yard, long stretches of time where I just existed. No performance. No pressure. Just presence.

Many people would have called it a “boring” season, but for me, it was sacred. I got lost in the soil, in silence, and in simplicity. And honestly, I thrived there.

 

A BLANK CANVAS

 

But lately... life has started to feel like a white room.
Clean. Pristine. Calm.
But also a little too quiet.

I’ve realized that while I needed stillness to reset, I now need something more. I’m craving beauty, expression, whimsy. Not to replace the peace, but to enrich it. I still want the quiet, but now I want it to have texture, layers and hues.

I don’t want to fill the space with noise... I want to paint it with intention.

 

 

CRAVING COLOR, CRAVING ZEST

 

I miss movement. Not chaotic, exhausting motion... but meaningful movement. Adventure. Inspiration. Color that stirs my spirit.

It’s like my soul is ready to dress up again. To live pretty. To bring back the playfulness, the creativity, the fantasy.

The truth is: the last reset was all about returning to my natural essence. I stripped down, I healed, and I nurtured myself at my core.

Now? I’m ready to build from that core, but with some sparkle. It’s time to reintroduce the version of me that dreams out loud again.

WHAT I KNOW I NEED

 

I’ve come to understand something about myself, I need adventure to keep my spirit vibrant. Not just trips or getaways for the sake of it, but intentional journeys that inspire me. New cultures. Different environments. Something to reset my creative soul every few months.

I haven’t taken a trip or cruise in over four months, and I feel it. My zest is dimming, my creativity is idle, and my heart is whispering: “It’s time.”

SO WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

 

I start painting again.

Not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally and energetically.
This next chapter will be colored in:

  • Pretty pinks that feel like tenderness.
  • Yellows that feel like hope.
  • Whimsical textures that feel like freedom.
  • Adventures that feels like growth.

I want to rediscover what lights me up. I want to reimagine what life can feel like. Not rushed or reactive, but expressive, playful, and pretty.

 

So I’m calling it now:

This is the beginning of my next life reset.
And this time it’s colorful.
It’s beautiful in a brand new way.

FOR YOU...

 

If you’re in a similar season and your life feels quiet, blank, or neutral, I invite you to ask:
What colors does your spirit crave right now?

You don’t have to change everything. You don’t have to rush it.
But maybe... just maybe... it’s time to pick up the brush again.

Here’s to creating something beautiful.
Together.

 

With love and color,
— Shields
