A little behind the scenes from me today 🤍 This week I’ve been working on a poem for a new poetry collection called Odyssey. The poem is about depression, and looking at that with love and forgiveness. I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness, and the more I sit with it, the more I feel that honesty has to come first. Honesty with ourselves about how we really feel. Because without that honesty, I don’t think there can be true forgiveness. For ourselves or for others. Forgiveness is telling the truth, and still meeting that truth with love. That’s where my mind has been this week.

It’s easy to be grateful when life is amazing. When I’m lying by the pool in a luxury five-star resort, gratitude comes easily. But it is also hard to love a body that is in constant pain. This week I have been writing a lot about gratitude, both for my book and for myself. I think gratitude is a personal responsibility. Without it, I think life could start to feel empty. It could start to feel like a struggle. Always hoping for things to improve, or for the pain to subside, while also knowing that it may not. And in that space, the void can grow bigger - between the person I was and the person I have had to become. But that void can be filled with gratitude. Not in a fake way. Not by pretending pain does not exist. But by remembering that there is always something to be grateful for, no matter how small. Be present. Notice. Be thankful. Remember. I don’t think gratitude comes from going without, or from imagining a life without something. I think it comes from love. From being present. From noticing a small beautiful smile, a ripple, a glimmer. Living gratitude is a glow-up. It does not take away a life with pain. It shows you the beauty of the life.

This is my very first post here, and I’m writing it with a mixture of excitement and nerves. It’s Saturday, the world feels unsettled, and there is a lot of noise out there right now. But I still believe that what we bring into the world matters. Even a kind thought. Even a hopeful mindset. Even a quiet moment of peace. Even choosing love over fear, again and again. I may be at the very beginning of this space, but I believe we are all part of a conscious collective, and that how we think and feel inside ripples outward in ways we may never fully see. That’s what Silver Threads is here for. Welcome, and thank you for being here at the beginning.
