Recently, when I was trying to write my weekly Jotting, my mind went blank and I couldn’t think of anything to say. I’ve found this can sometimes be a sign that something quieter wants to speak. I had hoped to write something clever, but what kept returning to me was one word: discernment.

I’d been thinking a lot about this quiet inner sense that helps us recognise what is truly ours and what isn’t. You may have noticed how it’s influenced my website update.

At the time, posts I’d been sharing about discernment on LinkedIn sparked more conversation than I expected. That told me something important: many thoughtful people are navigating the same question right now – how to stay steady and clear when there is so much noise and pressure to react.

I’ve also been exploring some deeper patterns in my own life and noticing how certain themes seem to repeat until we really listen. Sometimes insight arrives in unexpected ways; sometimes it simply confirms what we already knew quietly inside.

When you pause for a moment is there something nudging you for attention?
