🌿 From Storm to Stillness: A Reflection

Some days don’t follow a straight line.

They spiral, they bend, they test your softness and tug on your strength.

Today began with peace in my heart.

I felt grounded, centered… like I could face the day with a quiet sense of power.

But then, life showed up—messy, unexpected, and human.

A moment stirred old wounds.

Another tried to shake my peace.

I felt my chest tighten, my breath grow short, and frustration begin to rise.

I didn’t explode.

I didn’t hide.

I cried.

I sat in my car and let it out—because the body remembers what the mind tries to suppress.

But I didn’t stay there.

I reached for understanding.

I chose to process, to reflect, to create.

And through that process… I felt the weight begin to lift.

“From storm to stillness, I chose to feel it all—

and found my peace in the process.”

That’s what healing looks like.

Not perfection. Not forced smiles.

Just the choice to feel, to release, and to remember that peace is still ours to claim.

And today, I reclaimed mine.
