A Glimpse of Grace on this insanity mind

Journal entry #7

Today, I found myself reflecting on the weight of past connections—the ones that once brought joy but now leave echoes of loss in their wake. It’s strange how the mind works, replaying moments and revisiting faces we no longer see. Sometimes, it feels like trying to catch rain in a desert or climbing a steep mountain only to tumble back down.  

But I’m learning something important: pain doesn’t mean permanence. Missing people, grieving the loss of what was, or even wrestling with our inner storms is human. It’s not a sign of weakness but a testament to how deeply we’ve loved and lived.  

I used to believe my happiness relied on others—on their presence, approval, or reassurance. But life has gently taught me otherwise. It’s not about handing over my peace to another’s control. It’s about finding stability within myself, even when the world outside feels uncertain.  

On hard days, when the heaviness feels too much to carry, I remind myself: it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to cry, to ache, and to let the pain surface. These emotions are not obstacles but pathways to healing. Writing helps—it clears the clutter in my mind and gives me a moment to breathe.  

And as I Looking on these waves of memory and emotion, I hold onto a simple truth: what matters most is now. Not what could have been or should have been, but this messy, imperfect, and beautiful present.

Life may not always look perfect, but there’s power in embracing it as it is.  

So, when my chest feels heavy with unspoken words or memories that linger, I whisper to myself: “You’re human. It’s okay to feel. And it’s okay to move forward at your own pace.”  

Some days, that’s all the grace I need to keep going.  

Love,

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
