A wrapping up of not just chapters but volumes. A reviewing and closing out of an entire epoch that is the first 48 years of my life. The flow of life has been taking me to places of significant joy and love with my sons, and to the unexpected passing of my father. There are too many aspects to name them all here and certainly I am still processing it all. What stands out is a larger theme of review and closure in preparation for a very big whatever-is-next. A new phase of life is about to begin and that is clear. I am amazed and surprised and a bit stunned and grateful and sad and happy and all at the same time. As I allow all of the emotions to emerge and manifest and flow out, I am keenly aware that on the other side of this waterfall of all-the-things is a newness and an openness and &#8211; I believe &#8211; something wonderful. I feel I am being purified and encouraged to leave behind all that has gone before to enter into what is next. I cannot wait to see what that will be.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Peace and Light!<\/div>\n<div>Guru Kathryn<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A brief, emotional diary on a month of profound closure\u2014joyful time with sons and the unexpected passing of the author&#8217;s father\u2014experienced as the wrapping up of an entire epoch and preparation for a new phase of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[44,1419,864,540,1625,1926,1781,357,1005,1003,1481,944,934,1454,1460,1002,43,1929,1927,865,371,879,354,1006,355,1004,372,358,1589,1928],"class_list":["post-6625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diary","tag-art","tag-business","tag-complete-connection","tag-connection","tag-consciousness","tag-consciousness-mastery","tag-couples","tag-cycle","tag-cycle-of-human-development","tag-finding-peace","tag-global-peace","tag-human-development","tag-kathryn-colleen","tag-lasting-peace","tag-lastingpeace-org","tag-life-optimization","tag-music","tag-personal","tag-podcasts","tag-purna-asatti","tag-religion","tag-roadmap","tag-seeing-yourself","tag-self-mastery","tag-self-development","tag-self-improvement","tag-spirituality","tag-stages","tag-understanding-people","tag-writing"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For readers in a season of endings; a tender reflection on grief, closure, and the sense of purification that precedes an unknown but hopeful new chapter.","citation_snippet":"Dr. Kathryn Messegee (Kathryn Colleen), \"Closing Out The Epochs Of Life,\" https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/closing-out-the-epochs-of-life\/","topics":["growth","spirit","essays"],"related_book":"","buy_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6625"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7375,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6625\/revisions\/7375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
