I have said this phrase often the past few weeks to many people. “Play to your strengths” meaning do what you do well.

Sunday Inspiration
“Let things fall apart—stop exhausting yourself trying to hold them together. Not everything is meant to last forever, and forcing what is already breaking will only drain you.

These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much. Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain orContinue reading “Hold My Hand…”

“She had always loved that time of year. The November evenings had a sweet taste of expectation, peace and silence. And she loved most of all the quiet of her house when the rain fell softly outside.
