Day 115 of 2025-Just Notice

Hi Friends,

Today, I found myself in a difficult situation while in a room with others. I was talking to someone I know well, and our conversation touched on something that pulled me in two directions. My heart felt one thing, but my head was saying something else. I reacted on the inside, quietly, not really sure what I was feeling or thinking in that moment.

We’ve all had those moments, when your inner world feels a little messy, and you're caught between emotion and reason. It’s not always easy to make sense of it right away. But I’m learning that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Sometimes just noticing what’s happening inside is the first step toward understanding yourself better.

The takeaway for me is this: when I give myself permission to pause and feel without judgment, I begin to connect more honestly with what’s really going on.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 114 of 2025- Evening Reset

 Hi Friends,

Don’t forget to create a little space between the end of your workday and the start of your evening routines. I like to walk around the house for a bit or catch up on the news before diving into any household tasks. It helps me pause, reset, and transition into the rest of the evening with a clearer mind.

What are some things you like to do to unwind after work?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 113 of 2025- Almost End Of April

 Hi Friends,

As we approach the end of April and settle into the heart of spring, at least in my part of the world, this is a gentle reminder to pause and reflect. 

With just about a week left in the month, take a moment to check in with yourself. How has April been treating you so far? Is there anything you can do in the coming days to make the month feel a little more complete, whether that means finishing something important, reconnecting with someone, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe?

So whether you're wrapping things up or taking time to rest, be intentional with how you close out the month.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 112 of 2025-Rooted In What Matters

Hi Friends. 

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us."-Helen Keller

Tuesday often comes without the rush of a Monday or the energy of a Friday but that makes it the perfect day to reconnect with what grounds you.

Helen Keller’s words remind us that the joy, love, and purpose we've experienced don’t fade, they stay with us. They’re part of the fabric of who we are and how we move through the world.

Even if today feels routine or unremarkable, you carry the strength of every good thing you’ve experienced. The task you were proud to complete, it still lives inside you, guiding your choices and fueling your confidence.

Let this Tuesday be less about chasing something new and more about drawing strength from what already lives within you.

Keep going.

Day 111 of 2025- Monday's Quote

Hi Friends,

"Nothing is really ever lost to us as long as we remember it."-Lucy Maud Montgomery

As we step into a brand-new week, let’s carry with us a quiet but powerful reminder: "Nothing is really ever lost to us as long as we remember it."

Whether it’s a goal that slipped out of focus, a dream that feels distant, or even a moment that once inspired us remembering brings it back into the light. Memory is more than nostalgia; it’s a tool. It helps us reconnect with what matters, realign with our values, and reignite our motivation.

So if this Monday feels heavy or aimless, pause for a moment. Think about what once made you feel alive, focused, or proud. That energy isn’t lost, it’s just waiting to be remembered.

Your past passions and lessons are not gone, they are seeds that can still grow.

Have a great week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 110 of 2025- Taking A Real Break

 Hi Friends,

For those who are on spring break or just had one, I hope it’s been a chance to relax and enjoy a slower pace.

My kids were off this week, and I loved watching them truly disconnect from school. They slept in, caught up with friends, played, and just gave themselves permission to rest. No schedules, no stress, just a week to be kids and recharge.

Honestly, they reminded me how powerful it is to fully unplug. Sometimes the best way to spend a break is by doing nothing “productive” at all, just being present and taking care of yourself.

It got me thinking, how do you like to disconnect during a break? What helps you feel refreshed and renewed?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 109 of 2025- Hectic Days

 Hi Friends,

As responsibilities at work and home continue to pile up, it can feel like there’s no end in sight. I’m having yet another one of those hectic days and an even busier-than-usual week.

In my previous post, I mentioned the importance of staying calm. We’ve all heard familiar encouragements like "Hang in there," "Just keep moving forward," and "You’ve got this." And I genuinely believe those words hold truth.

But today, I want to offer something a little different. I want you to consider this: how can you be a sculptor during these times?

Let me explain. Just like a sculptor chips away at the excess to reveal something meaningful, perhaps we can look at our overwhelming days not as endless chaos, but as an opportunity to shape our time, our focus, and our energy into something intentional and beautiful.

So, what’s one thing you can chip away at today to reveal a little more clarity or calm?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
