Feeling tired lately. After a full May, I’ve been slowing down, simplifying, and sitting with some harder questions. A friend asked what I’m looking forward to, and I didn’t have an answer. Maybe this season is about recovery. Letting go of old stuff. Making space to listen. To myself, to others, to God. June gloom isn’t just the weather right now. It’s where I am. And maybe that’s okay.

It’s been 26 months since Teri passed, and I’m learning that doing hard things isn’t always about pushing through and doing more. It’s about slowing down, letting go, and being honest. In this post, I reflect on grief, a quiet moment with my mom from our wedding (because of Mother's day), and how rest can be its own kind of courage. This is where I am now, and maybe you can relate too.
