There were moments… when the clouds felt permanent.
Heavy.
Unmoving.
Moments where I could have chosen the victim story.
Where I could have stayed in the “why me?”
But something inside me whispered, keep going.
Hope isn’t loud.
It doesn’t scream.
It’s a quiet remembering.
For me… SoilandSoul.ca became that remembering.
A place where I could center.
Realign.
Breathe.
Not to bypass the pain… but to move through it.
Because here’s the truth: Your challenges are not your identity.
They are your initiation.
The clouds don’t disappear because you ignore them.
They lift because you rise.
So how do you move through the darkness without becoming the story?
You pause.
You breathe.
You feel what’s there without judgment.
You ask “How can this serve?”
And slowly… the pain becomes purpose.
The wound becomes wisdom.
The story becomes service.
You don’t shine your light because life was easy.
You shine because you walked through the dark… and chose to carry the torch anyway.
If you’re in a cloudy season right now, keep going.
The light is already working its way back to you.
And when it does… you’ll help someone else find theirs.
