June Focus: TRANSITION tran(t)-ˈsi-shən a change or shift from one state, subject, place, etc. to another
💌 From Kelly’s Desk
Hey Reader,
Living in the Threshold
This month’s theme, Transition, feels especially personal to me right now—because I’m in the thick of it.
My mom and I are moving. And while we’re both seasoned pros at this (we’ve packed up more homes than I can count), this time feels different. After almost 90 years of life—and a long, beautiful partnership of the Poet and the Pilot—Mom is stepping into a brand-new chapter without my dad. And I have the privilege of walking beside her.
We’re sorting through boxes and decades, stories and stuff. Some days, it’s empowering. Other days, it’s a pausing over a casserole dish or a note scribbled in the margin of an old book (so many books!). We’re creating a new space, yes—but also navigating the emotional terrain of what Rev. Karen Hering calls thresholding: the sacred pause between what was and what’s next.
We’re not rushing. We’re honoring the transition. Sitting with the discomfort and the beauty. Trusting that something meaningful is taking shape—even if we can’t quite see it yet.
I wonder—are you in a threshold moment too? A quiet shift, a big leap, or something that you may not be ready to name? You’re not alone. Come share your story in the Village Café. Let’s hold space for one another in the in-between.
🔍 June's: Transition
Growth doesn’t happen without change. This month, we’ll reflect on how we can embrace transitions—both big and small—in our lives and businesses. Whether it’s moving to a new phase, letting go of what no longer serves us, or welcoming new opportunities, transition is essential for growth.
💭 Reflection Prompt: What transition are you currently going through, and how can you embrace it with grace?
🛠 Action Step: Identify one change or transition you’re experiencing this month and find a way to make it feel easier and more aligned with your goals.

“Change is always knocking—sometimes gently, sometimes like a full-blown marching band. This month, let’s welcome it as a chance to grow, re-center, and get even closer to who we’re really here to be. Transition isn’t always easy, but it’s rich with wisdom if we’re willing to slow down and listen. Let’s honor the shifts—big and small—and trust that each one is guiding us somewhere true. And when all else fails? Put on some James Brown and “get up offa that thing, dance ‘til you feel better.” 🌿💛”

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, July is all about sistering—a powerful term borrowed from the world of construction (one of my former lives!), where it means adding support to strengthen. Now I've pulled that concept into Athena Village, where we know that sistering is the foundation of everything we do. Together, we lift each other up, share wisdom, and create a community that thrives on mutual support and respect. This month, let’s reflect on how we can sister one another in ways that make...
