She Walked Where Peace Could Find Her

She walked where peace could find her,
through quiet mornings and open skies,
where the world felt a little quieter.

She began to notice the little things,
sunlight filtering softly through the trees,
the hush of the wind,
the gentle rhythm of her own breath.

With each passing day,
she learned to linger a little longer
in moments where she could simply breathe,
and let stillness become familiar.

And somewhere along that quiet path,
she realized she was no longer searching for peace.
She had simply become still enough
to let it find her.

The Sturgeon Full Moon, named after the Great Lake giant abundant this time of year. Just as the sturgeon rises closer to the surface in late summer, the Sturgeon Moon is a time to reflect and let buried emotions surface and release 🌕

The Love That Begins Within

To be liked by others
is a pleasant breeze,
welcome, beautiful,
but passing.

To like yourself
is to become your own shelter.

It is to forgive
the person you were yesterday,
to make peace with the scars
you once tried to hide,
and to hold with tenderness the person you are becoming.

Perhaps the deepest victory
is not becoming someone
everyone admires,
but becoming someone
you no longer need to escape from.

There is a quieter prize
waiting beneath all the noise:
the moment you realize
you can belong to yourself.

And in that belonging,
there is no audience,
no competition,
no performance.

Only you,
breathing,
growing,
becoming,

learning to sit
with your own silence,
to listen to your own heart,
and to offer yourself
the kindness
you once searched for
in other people's eyes.

Perhaps self-love
is not a grand awakening,
but a quiet decision
made again and again,

to stay with yourself,
to forgive yourself,
to trust yourself,
and to walk gently
through this one life,

and discover
that the deepest peace
was never outside you,
but within.
