"No matter what this new season brings, remember the things that bring you peace. Remember the things that remind you in this crowded world, there is still room for you to be."

No matter what this new season brings, remember the things that bring you peace. Remember the things that remind you in this crowded world, there is still room for you to be; to come alive to the present moment, remembering all the things you have gathered; holding on to all of the lessons, the mountains, the valleys, the laughter...because all together, this is your life, and as beautiful and terrifying as it may be, you are still free to come alive, and you are free to be at peace. 

So travel light as you go, into every brand new day, knowing that even when things are uncertain, there will always be a way: to slow down and find a pace that allows you room to breathe, and to be present to the moment despite the rush of changing things. Because there will be moments to run with all you have, and there will also be moments to take things slow. And there will always be moments to make the most of each day, no matter how the days to come will go. This is freedom. This is peace. This is joy in uncertainty. This is a deeply rooted inner knowing, you are on a daily, grace-filled journey.

Through all that has changed, you are worthy of finding joy in this season, no matter what is still unknown.
 
You are worthy of being able to looking beyond all of the things that did not go according to plan, knowing that no matter what fell apart, there is still more ahead. As sure as the evening sky eventually surrenders to the morning horizon, may you know that the past has surrendered to the present and you are free to live fully, right here, where you are.
 
Let this be a place of new beginnings. Take what you have learned and apply it to something new. Things will be different here, but perhaps that can be a beautiful thing. Perhaps in all of these unknowns, you will only learn something.
 
Let your new experiences teach you. Let them remind you: life is a journey. Let them remind you that in all things unknown, there is abundant room to grow, and to grow, exactly in the way you were meant to. And please do not be hard on yourself, no matter the pace you are traveling right now.
 
There is nothing wrong with taking time to rest, to breathe, and slow down. You only live once, but that does not mean you have to figure it all out at once. You are allowed to take time to learn here. You are allowed to breathe deep and be human here.
 
Let the morning sunrise remind you: you are worthy of new beginnings in this new season, no matter your uncertainties.

More tomorrow...
Sincerely,
Morgan Harper Nichols
