🌦 Grace Between the Storms

By Susan “Lady Flava” Koshi

Life doesn’t often come wrapped in neat packages.

Sometimes, just as one area begins to crumble or challenge me, another gently reminds me: you’re still held.

This week, I’ve been feeling the weight of unresolved tension in my work life. The pressure creeps in, sometimes behind my eyes, sometimes in my breath, sometimes in my spirit. And yet—right in the middle of it—I receive little bursts of light.

🌻 A message that I’ve posted 24 days in a row.

🖤 A comment from someone who’s been reading my words for years.

💬 A “like” from someone I deeply respect.

📚 A new connection that opens the door for creativity or purpose.

These are not coincidences. These are reminders.

At 65, I Move Differently

I no longer need to pretend things don’t bother me. I’ve earned the right to say:

“Yes, this situation is heavy.” “Yes, I’m anxious about tomorrow.” “Yes, I need to lay down and care for myself today.”

But I’ve also learned not to let pain steal all the spotlight.

At 65, I know how to face the challenge,

breathe through it,

and still keep my heart open to the blessings.

🌤 Closing Thought

Whatever you’re walking through—please remember that peace can coexist with pain. Joy can visit even in the waiting. And there is always something or someone reminding you:

✨ You are still growing. Still seen. Still blessed.

So I will keep writing. Keep noticing.

And keep letting grace meet me between the storms.
