love, spring always tells the truth.

Not in words, but in what it does. The earth doesn’t wait until it feels ready. It doesn’t gather more proof or ask for permission. It expands. It grows. It takes up space again after a season of contraction.

And every year, it risks the same thing. Frost. Uncertainty. Not knowing how it will all unfold.

Still… it grows.

When I was young, I thought growth worked differently for people.

I used to watch all the adults who always seemed to know what to do, and I assumed they had some internal experience I didn’t have yet. That at a certain age, things would click. You’d know what you were doing. You’d stop second-guessing yourself and just… know.

I couldn’t wait to feel that way.

But at some point in my thirties, I looked around and realized something else was true. The adults I had been watching my whole life were figuring it out as they went. Moving forward without the certainty I thought they had.

Something shifted in me when I saw that clearly.

Because I had been waiting. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting to know enough. Waiting for spring.

But the people I admire most did not wait.

They moved. They created. They expanded. 

They grew.

Like new growth in spring, it has a kind of inevitability to it. An unstoppable force that doesn’t ask if the conditions are perfect. It responds to something deeper. A pull toward life. Toward expression. Toward becoming.

Spring reminds me that abundance works the same way.
 It isn’t something you earn once you’ve proven yourself. It isn’t something that arrives when you finally feel ready.

It’s something you do.

It’s a decision to keep growing. To keep showing up. To take up more space in your own life, even when part of you still wonders if you should.

Just like you, every person who has built something meaningful was figuring it out in real time.

They moved anyway.

And you can too. 

This season is an invitation into that kind of expansion. 

Into choosing growth without waiting for permission, 

Into letting your life become bigger.

That’s part of what inspired the Abundance Journal I created this spring, a companion for this kind of growth, a place to return to what you’re cultivating and stay in relationship with it. If it calls to you, you can explore it here.

Move anyway.

Grow anyway.

Love,
Briana
