The Boy Who Spoke in Stars

In a quiet little world lived a boy named Keenan.

Keenan didn’t speak the way most people did. Words didn’t come out the way others expected. Some people thought that meant he had nothing to say.

But they were wrong.

Keenan spoke in different ways.

When the wind moved the trees, Keenan watched every leaf carefully, as if they were telling him a story. When sunlight touched the floor, he followed the light like it was a quiet little adventure only he could see.

Keenan noticed things that others missed.

While many people filled the world with noise, Keenan filled it with presence.

He showed love by sitting close beside the people he trusted.
He showed joy through the sparkle in his eyes.
He showed comfort in the calm way he held someone’s hand.

Most people listened with their ears.

But the people who truly understood Keenan listened with their hearts.

One evening, I sat beside Keenan and looked up at the sky full of stars.

Softly, I asked him,
“Keenan, what do you see up there?”

Keenan didn’t answer with words.

He simply looked at the sky and smiled.

And somehow, that smile felt like a whole conversation.

In that moment, I realized something beautiful.

The world often tries to teach children like Keenan how to be like everyone else.

But maybe the world should also learn how to see like Keenan.

To notice the quiet.

To feel things more deeply.

To understand that love does not always need words.

Because some people speak in sentences.

But some very special souls, like Keenan, speak in stars.

And if we are patient enough to look up and listen with our hearts, we will realize…

they have been telling us beautiful things all along.

Love, 

Chits 💙

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 ...
