“Today, I Flowed.”

Today wasn’t forced.

It didn’t require a deep breath to get through.

It didn’t ask me to dig deep or push hard.

Today… I flowed.

I woke up not really wanting to go to work — not out of fear or dread, but from a place of honoring how much I’ve been carrying. Still, I got up, got ready, and showed up. And to my surprise… the day showed up for me too.

It was a good day.

A peaceful day.

And what made it beautiful is that I didn’t have to fight for it.

I engaged with people who’ve caused me hurt or frustration — and I did it without effort. I met them with pleasantries, eye contact, a smile. Not because I had something to prove, but because it cost me nothing… and I wasn’t holding anything heavy in my spirit.

I supported someone new with grace. I completed my tasks with ease. I noticed things, acknowledged things, and let go of what didn’t need my energy.

And at the end of the day, I poured into someone else — a coworker who had a truly rough day. I sent her a meme that reminded her she was a queen. That I respected her. That I saw her.

She came over and hugged me.

No fanfare. No big speech. Just a moment of connection between two women trying to make it through the day with grace.

Reflection:

There was a time I would’ve overanalyzed everything.

Felt the weight of every shift in energy.

Held on to moments that didn’t serve me.

But today…

I flowed.

And that, my friends, is what peace feels like.
