This Weeks Reflections
3 Reflections to Ponder
The Gift of Resting Intentionally: This week, embrace rest as a purposeful act. Rather than seeing rest as something you squeeze into a busy schedule, ask yourself: How can I create space for intentional rest? Let go of the guilt and recognize rest as an essential part of your well-being and productivity.
Leaning into Disappointment: When things don’t go as planned, take a moment to lean into the disappointment rather than avoiding it. What lessons or new perspectives can this experience offer? Disappointment often has wisdom hidden within it if we’re willing to listen.
Making Space for Stillness: In a world full of distractions and constant motion, challenge yourself to cultivate moments of stillness each day. Whether it’s through meditation, a quiet walk, or simply sitting in silence, ask yourself: What can I learn from this space of calm? Stillness offers clarity when the world feels overwhelming.

and the calm of stillness
I find my strength again
renewed, restored, and ready
to face what lies ahead
