On Reflection, Seasons, and Carrying It Forward
A simple practice to honor your growth and guide what comes next
As the season shifts, there’s a quiet invitation available to all of us: slow down, look back, and take stock.
Inside the Summit Society, we do this twice a year—once at the end of summer, and once in spring to close out winter. These reflections aren’t about being perfect or productive. They’re about being real. About acknowledging the full story of what this season held.
We don’t just grow in the big moments. We grow in the missteps, the ordinary days, the quiet resilience.
When we don’t take time to reflect, we miss those lessons. We forget how far we’ve come. We start the next season already disconnected from what we’ve built.
Our community gathered to reflect on winter. We asked honest questions and gave honest answers. What are we proud of? What tested us? What do we want to remember next time the snow flies?
And then we wrote letters to our future selves—little time capsules full of grit, gratitude, and truth.
Try this for yourself: a mini seasonal reflection
You don’t need to be in the Summit Society to do this practice. Here’s a simplified version you can try right now:
Grab a pen and answer the following:
What am I proud of from this winter?
What challenged me—and how did I respond?
What did this season teach me about myself?
What do I want to carry forward into next season/winter?
What am I ready to release?
If you feel called, write a short letter to your future self—just a few sentences. Tell her what you’ve learned, what you want her to remember, what you’re excited for her to step into. Tuck it away somewhere safe. Open it when next winter begins.
We’re not just closing out a season. We’re choosing how we want to show up in the next one.
And that is powerful.
If you’re craving more reflection like this, with a supportive community and structured tools to help you grow—I’d love to invite you to join the Summit Society.
We open doors in May, and you can get on the early interest list right here:

Until then, take good care of yourself—and all the versions of you that got you here.
With you,
Sam
