It’s amazing how quickly life can sit you down. One moment, you’re moving full speed ahead—planning, producing, pushing through. The next? Your body whispers (or maybe screams): "Not today, sis."
Eleven days ago, my knee reminded me that even I, someone who knows better, needed to be still….and not the casual kind of stillness — the deep, spiritual kind. The kind where you can’t move the way you want to, and the only thing left to do is listen.
Now, I know I can’t possibly be the only one.
Some of you reading this may be in your own season of pause. Maybe life has slowed you down through heartbreak, burnout, grief, or just a quiet sense of "I can't keep going on like this." Maybe you’re here because the version of you that does it all is starting to unravel—and part of you is relieved.
Stillness doesn’t always feel like a gift at first. Sometimes, it feels like punishment. Like silence. Like waiting on something you can’t name.
But, let me remind you:
Stillness isn’t a void.
Stillness is sacred.
Stillness is where you come home to yourself.
