Between who I am and who I dream of becoming

There is a woman you already are. And there is another woman you dream of being.

Between the two, there is a distance that sometimes feels abysmal. And other times, as subtle as a shift in thought or a word spoken with greater awareness.

This autumn, at Musa Magazine, we look honestly at that space between our current version and the woman we long to become. Not to judge ourselves, nor to place demands upon us, but to walk alongside ourselves. To commit. We know it’s not about comparing ourselves to an impossible ideal, but about living with intention.

Asking ourselves: What can I do today to move a little closer to her?

Perhaps it’s beginning to care for myself with more compassion.
Studying that subject that has always intrigued me.
Saying no to what no longer adds value.
Or daring to begin that long-postponed project.

In every story and column of this edition, you’ll find an invitation to take a step. Small or large—it doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s yours. Conscious. Real. Because becoming the woman we dream of is not a destination—it’s a path.

And on that path, you are not alone.

Welcome to your autumn.
Welcome to yourself.
