Image created by Google AI. Progress isn’t perfection. It’s presenceWhy? I was with my daughter, surrounded by trees, trails, and laughter up in Upstate New York. And you know what? I don’t regret a second of it.
Here’s the thing—consistency matters, but so does grace. Life isn’t lived in perfect checklists. It’s lived in connection, in choosing what matters in the moment.
So yes, I missed a post. But I didn’t miss the point.
Showing up consistently doesn’t mean never missing. It means choosing to return—with intention, not guilt.
Where can you extend grace to yourself today?

Linda, I’m glad for you that you chose family fun over getting another post done. No doubt your weekend time was very rejuvenating. Happy Easter renewal time.
Spending time with your daughter is very important and its what I tell myself about my son and when he want’s something I try to stop what I’m doing so I can really listen to what he is saying to me.
