Life has a way of derailing our carefully laid plans.

Whether it’s the chaos of the holidays, an unexpected illness, or the daily demands of work and family, the pressure can feel unbearable at times.

It’s easy to lose ourselves in the doing, striving to make everything “perfect” and taking care of everyone else’s needs while ignoring what truly matters to us.

But what we really need is what grounds us in those moments—the steady rhythms that tether us to our authentic selves and allow us to navigate life’s unpredictability with grace.
