A little bit of this. A little bit of that. But it's all eklectik.

Everything will be ok

Like the Sign Says…

March 8, 2024October 13, 2024

Every now and again, when my energy is off and the days feel particularly long, I remember this sign and how it stopped me in my tracks. I was driving to work, mind racing, trying to take inventory of everything on my plate while also worrying about what was next. Was my hard work paying off? Was I foolish to trust the timing of my life? Would I ever stop worrying?

Within seconds of making what the GPS said was to be my right turn, I looked left and saw my answer. EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. I immediately pulled over feet away from the words, got out of my car, and paused for a moment. I took a deep breath, exhaling for what seemed like five minutes. The anxiety and heaviness left my body, my shoulders fell, and momentarily, I felt restored. Before getting back in the car, I snapped a photo as a reminder that I still keep close today.

Life is hardly easy, and it doesn’t come with a road map. But, if you keep going and keep your head on a swivel, you’ll see the signs as you travel.
