A Gentle Reminder to Myself
The past few weeks have felt heavy. My motivation has dipped, my drive has wavered, and this season always brings a quiet ache. From Thanksgiving through the New Year, I navigate a tender space — grieving the loss of my brother (11 years ago) and my sister (3 years ago). It’s not easy. But I’m learning to honor the process. To give myself permission to feel, to pause, to reflect. To understand that healing isn’t linear — and grief doesn’t follow a calendar. I’m sharing this because I believe in showing up with truth. And because someone else might need the reminder: You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to be human. This season may be difficult, but I’m choosing grace over guilt. And I’m trusting that even in the quiet, I’m still growing.
