There will always be bumps
Life is not always easy.
As we enter into a season of slowing down and head closer to another year, I have been intentionally spending some time looking back at the twists and turns of life. This year turned out to be so different from what I had expected. But so far, it has been beautiful in its own way. They say life's journey is not linear, and it is true.
You will fall. But you will have to learn to stand up and walk again.
Sometimes there will be support.
Sometimes, you will have to do it on your own.
Most people will be left behind. The ones who stay will sometimes be taken for granted.
In the midst of it all, you will find yourself catching your breath for a moment one day when you realise that life was never meant to be linear. There will always be bumps.
When you experience these bumps, remind yourself that there is room to embrace peace and joy as you are surrounded by the unexpected and the unknown. Things do not have to necessarily go your way for you to be happy. Most times, they don't, and that is the truth of life.
The day you stop complaining about not achieving desired goals despite giving it your all is the day your life will change forever. The complexities of life and why things happen the way they do are sometimes impossible to explain.
This week, I am here to remind you that you do not have to figure everything out before inviting peace into your life. Peace can be found right here, even in the middle of chaos. Welcome it with open arms. That is all you need to do!

Such a great reminder. We often want to control the situation but there is no controlling life! Life is going to do what it’s going to do, it’s our attitude along the way.
I watched a lot of hurricanes footage lately and the positivity of the people in the Carriacou is amazing and incredibly humbling. https://youtu.be/6_66EmLsP_Q?si=DJYhOC3xKMgR-Ga2
