Moments Of You

For years, I wore “busy” like a badge of honor. If I wasn’t doing something, I felt like I wasn’t enough. Slowing down felt foreign – almost wrong. But then, life whispered (and later shouted) for me to pause.

When I finally listened, everything changed.

I discovered that quiet moments held the answers I’d been chasing. I began to notice how I spoke to myself, how often I rushed through my feelings, and how much I craved peace I hadn’t allowed myself to feel.

Slowing down gave me permission to reconnect – with my body, my emotions, my breath.

Here’s what I’ve learned in the stillness:

• Rest is not weakness. It’s strength wrapped in softness.
• Emotions can rise gently when given space.
• Productivity doesn’t define my worth – presence does.
• The best parts of life often happen in the in-between moments.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, let this be your invitation. Not everything had to be fast. Not everything needs to be fixed. Some things just need time, attention, and tenderness.

Today, I honor stillness. I honor softness. I honor me.
