Peace can mean so many different things, depending on where you are in your story.
Sometimes it’s calm.
Sometimes it’s letting go.
Sometimes it’s just the quiet space between waves.
For Penny, it became her word of the year after losing her husband in June. She wrote to me about wanting to find peace with this new season of life…one that looks and feels so different than before.
She said she doesn’t even know what peace looks like yet… but she hopes to find it.
(I had the gift of meeting Penny when my mom was admitted to the ER for the last time. She was an angel in that room ~ calm, kind, and deeply present. I’ll never forget how she cared for my mom, and will forever be thankful for her.)
This piece was created with her word in mind, and with so much love.
For anyone learning to live inside a new normal, may peace meet you gently this year. 💜
