Life is a funny old thing.
That was my Nana’s famous saying - and even as dementia slowly took pieces of her memory, she still repeated those words. The profound irony of that isn’t lost on me, especially because I spend my life helping women heal their minds.
What I’ve been reminded of this last week is this: it is the greatest privilege to think. To have a mind that can reflect, choose, imagine, and heal. Our thoughts shape the way we experience this one wild and precious life - and we do have the power to direct them.
Where I’ve been? Right where I needed to be.
Not posting. Not pushing. Just slowing down, sitting still, and holding Nana’s hand through the last days of her life. And it’s reminded me that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause. To put our own lives on hold to honour the ending of someone else’s.
If you’re reading this, maybe this is your reminder: let go of the “what ifs, could haves, should haves.” Accept what is. Breathe it in. And remember you only get this one life, this one chance, to live it to the fullest.
I’d love to know in the comments - what’s one saying, memory, or piece of wisdom from someone you’ve loved and lost that still guides you today? 🤍🕊️
