A Lone Path: Nurturing the Wolf Inside

I’ve been disconnected from social media and most outside communication for a while now. Working inward, in solitude, in stillness, away from the noise. No public updates. Just private work, reflection, and realignment.

This time has been about working on myself, my craft, and my service while holding space for those who reach out and continuing to learn, grow, and refine.

It’s a different kind of work.
Work done outside the ceremony space, away from the spotlight.
Work done in silence, alone, in private.
Sharing thoughts and reflections through my own lens.
If it helps, good.
If nothing else, it helps me clear my mind and keep moving forward.

This year has been about walking my own path, even if it meant walking alone. I’ve moved quieter, trusted what I felt, and stopped explaining myself. In that process, I connected with the wolves inside of me. I had a choice in which one I fed. Not the one driven by noise, pressure, or reaction, but the one that sees clearly and moves with intention, with drive and purpose. Solitude gave me the space to notice what’s important and what my priorities are. A place where I could hear myself again and follow what feels right.

In the quiet, I’ve remembered what truly matters.
Here are five lessons this year has taught me.

Stillness is strength.
Getting comfortable under your own skin without distraction, numbing, or escape. Learning to sit with yourself, to feel what you’d rather avoid, and to find power in calm rather than chaos.

Boundaries protect your peace.
Choose where you spend your time, your energy, your space, and with whom. Protecting your peace isn’t closing off; it’s choosing what aligns.

Discipline is love in action.
This is self-love. No one will do the work for you. Distractions are everywhere, and the path is yours alone to walk. Stay on it.

Silence speaks louder than noise.
Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all. You don’t have to prove your truth. You live it.

Presence is awareness in the here and now.
It’s the art of being here: in the breath, in the body, in the silence between thoughts. It’s where you meet life fully, without running ahead or looking back. Presence is about attention, showing up to what is. It is where awareness and consciousness are cultivated, not spoken about but lived, in daily choices, in still mornings, and in quiet nights.

This has been my path this year. Quiet, deliberate, and necessary. The wolf inside has grown wiser, calmer, and more focused. The noise faded, but the vision became sharper.

As this year closes, I walk into the next one grounded, present, and alive.
If it speaks to you, walk with me.

Agradecido,
