Words and thoughts that encapsulate what I feel and think haven’t come to me as easily as they did years ago.

Maybe it’s the necessities of life that crowd out that space I use to have, maybe they are deep down there waiting to rise to the surface. Until then I will keep stepping my prayers and riding the trails and enjoying the movement, the breath, the beauty.

I don’t know, but lately I hang onto the words of others and Scriptures like this:

Psalm 27:13
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

There are no manuals for the construction of the individual you would like to become. You are the only one who can decide this and take up the lifetime of work that it demands. This is a wonderful privilege and such an exciting adventure. To grow into the person that your deepest longing desires is a great blessing. If you can find a creative harmony between your soul and your life, you will have found something infinitely precious. You may not be able to do much about the great problems of the world or to change the situation you are in, but if you can awaken the eternal beauty and light of your soul, you will bring light wherever you go. The gift of life is given to us for ourselves and also to bring peace, courage, and compassion to others.

When I hike, weeds become flowers. Breath as necessity dissipates and becomes a gift. Each step becomes the rhythm of my day, of my hour, of my moment.

How many of us have carried the weight of others’ perceptions? Lived our lives shaped by people who never truly saw us for who we are? Maybe it was a parent, a partner, a boss, or even society at large that made us feel small, invisible, or somehow not enough.

But here’s the thing: their vision of you is not the truth of who you are. The opinions of those who couldn’t appreciate your light should never define your worth.

True freedom comes when we let go of the need to be seen by others and start seeing ourselves clearly—through eyes of compassion, love, and understanding. It’s about unlearning the narratives that told you to be quiet, to shrink, to fit in. It’s about reconnecting with the person you’ve always been beneath the layers of doubt and expectation.

When you look at yourself, do you recognize your own strength, beauty, and resilience? Do you allow yourself to see the depth of your spirit, the wisdom that comes from your journey, and the grace in your imperfections?

This is the work—the journey back to yourself. May you step into a space where you see yourself, fully and without judgment. Because the truest power is found when we stop trying to be what others want and embrace exactly who we are. ꩜🕊️♥︎ Ella

Slowing down to behold beauty. The satisfying crunch of walking on the gravel of the gardens. The smell of a ylang ylang plant. The sights of a prickly cactus. The sunlight blinding momentarily. The peaceful drip of the fountain. The awe of the child. The oxygen filling the lungs. There is goodness all around.
