Steady, Not Faster

Sometimes it’s not about doing more — it’s about doing it steadily. I’m so thankful for the partnerschip with Pavlina Bulguri’s exercises — they feel exactly right for me. This time, I’ve promised myself to practice the blood & lymph flow exercise every single morning — a small ritual to recharge and move with more vitality. 🌿

Nothing is harder than trying to please everyone. At 53, let me share something with you: every year it gets easier to stand true to yourself. And honestly, I’m deeply grateful for the person I’ve become. I’ve lived a lot. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve got stories, scars, and laughter — and I wouldn’t trade any of it. I am me. And yes, I like me.

In the past, I often wished life would calm down — fewer ups and downs, less turbulence. Did that happen? No. And today, I’m glad it didn’t. Because peace isn’t the absence of motion; it’s the ability to find stillness within it. I appreciate moments of harmony now, and I’m profoundly thankful that I’ve learned to walk away from people who drain me instead of give me energy. That, I’m convinced, is one of life’s greatest medicines as you grow older.
