Thank you Maui...

It has been a difficult few years…

Healing doesn’t arrive all at once. It comes quietly, like a soft morning light that finds you before you realize the night has passed. Lately, I feel as if I’ve been given a second chance not to become someone new, but to return more honestly to who I’ve always been beneath the weight of fear and habit.

There’s a tenderness in this beginning. A humility…it’s subtle. It’s choosing presence over panic, curiosity over control, love over the old reflex to brace. Each breath feels like an invitation to live again, more gently this time.

I’m grateful simply to be here. To feel the ground beneath my feet, the air in my lungs, the quiet miracle of this sunrise…

Life doesn’t ask us to understand it fully only to participate with open hands.

This feels like hope…not as a promise of certainty, but as a willingness to stay. To meet the world as it is. To bow to its mystery. And to remember that every moment, if we’re paying attention, is already a new beginning.
