“It’s only in the darkness that she can discover the power of her own light.” 🤔 ~Bryan Anthony
Still recovering from Covid over here, so I’m keeping things light — and maybe this is your reminder that it’s okay to do the same. ✨ (#415)
Sometimes, rest is the work.
Sometimes, progress looks like saying no. (even to the things you really want to do)
Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is pause.
It reminds me of the message behind the Pause necklace I wear sometimes:
Taking a moment to pause, she allows herself to rest — regaining her peace and strength with every breath. Letting her chest rise and fall, she takes each thought in and slowly lets them go — realizing that grace can still find her, even if steady breathing is all that she can do.
If you’re also in a season of low energy or need to give yourself a little more grace, I see you. You’re not behind. You’re healing, evolving, and finding your rhythm again.
Wishing you rest, deep breaths, and only the essentials over this next week. 💖
