Day 294 of 2025-Work Transition

 Hi Friends,

So today I accepted another job transfer with my company, since the project I’m on is ending next month. I’m grateful and tired at the same time. Grateful for the job, tired of starting again.

The next couple of weeks will be transition mode. I’ll need to transfer my current responsibilities to someone else and then learn my new role when I start in mid-November.

So many feelings are coming up for me sadness, tiredness, fear, gratitude. I know I’ll be okay, and it will all work out. Here are my steps when I’m feeling it all:

One – Deep breaths.
Two – Deeper breaths.
Three – Notice what comes up and don’t fight it.
Four – Journal your thoughts and feelings.
Five – Take it one step and one day at a time. Lay out your plan.
Six – It will all be okay.

What about you? What are you dealing with these days?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 293 of 2025- Time Off Monday

 Hi Friends,

Oh Monday, it’s here — and I took the day off. 😊
I’ve built up quite a bit of vacation time, and instead of saving it for some “perfect” occasion, I decided to start using it. And honestly, it feels really good.

It’s amazing how easy it is to keep pushing through the weeks, thinking we’ll rest later after the project is done, after things calm down, after life gets a little easier. But that moment rarely comes on its own. You have to create it.

So today, I chose to slow down. No rushing, no meetings, no pressure, just a quiet day to breathe, reflect, and reset.

If you haven’t checked your vacation balance lately, do it. See how much time you’ve earned and actually use it. You deserve a pause. Take a day here and there, and remind yourself that rest isn’t a reward it’s part of a healthy rhythm.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 292 of 2025- Hello, Stranger

 Hi Friends,

Yesterday, I wrote about meeting new people, and I’m happy to share that I introduced myself to two new people today. It was nice getting to know a little about them.

While we didn’t exchange phone numbers or discover much in common just yet, it still felt like a meaningful step simply having that first conversation. As with most first interactions, you can’t truly get to know someone right away, so I’m hoping to see them again and continue building those connections.

Did you meet anyone new recently? How did it go?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 291 of 2025- New People

 Hi Friends,

You know what’s great about this Saturday? I’m really looking forward to meeting some new people. I’ve been invited to an event, and while I already know a couple of attendees, I’m excited to connect with others as well.

As we move into the final weeks of the year, my goal is to meet more people and build new connections. Why, you might ask? Because I’ve made the decision to let go of a few old friends who simply haven’t been there for me.

So, as we head into the last couple of months of the year, think about letting go of people you’ve outgrown and make space for new relationships. Stay open. Keep meeting new people.

What are your thoughts on this?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 290 of 2025- I Am Proud Of You

 Hi Friends,

You know what? I’m really proud of you.

I may not know you personally, but I do know that everyone deserves a little encouragement and a reminder that every single thing you do matters. So today, I just want to say I’m proud of you. And I hope you’re proud of yourself, too.

We often tell our kids, family, and friends how proud we are of them, but how often do we say it to ourselves? Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come and everything you’ve overcome. It may not have been easy, but you did it and that’s something to be proud of.

I hope you’ve had a great week. Enjoy your weekend, and until tomorrow, look in the mirror and remind yourself:
“I am proud of you.”
And when you do, notice how your reflection seems a little softer, like it finally hears what your heart has been waiting to say.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 289 of 2025- The Moments That Are Not Ordinary

 Hi Friends,

It’s mid-October, and the year is quietly unfolding toward its close.

Lately I keep returning to this line from Diane Keaton:

“Memories are simply moments that refuse to be ordinary.”

Maybe the real magic of a year isn’t in milestones or big changes, but in how deeply we notice what’s already here — sunlight on your face, the sound of rain, a conversation that lingers.

With a little more than two months left, I want to pay attention to what would otherwise slip by. To make space for small joys that last longer than the moment itself.

Today’s reminder: don’t chase extraordinary.
Let the ordinary moments refuse to be forgotten.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 288 of 2025- Mid Month Reflection

 Hi Friends,

It’s mid-October, a good time for a mid-month reflection.
There are about two and a half months left in the year. Somehow, that feels both like a lot of time and not much at all.

Maybe you started the year with intentions that got lost in the noise.
Maybe some dreams took shape while others faded quietly into the background.
Either way, this moment right here the middle of the month, the edge of a season is an invitation to pause and realign.

You don’t need a massive reset or a detailed plan.
Just one small, intentional action to point yourself back toward what matters.
Small steps, done consistently, carry more power than big ideas that never move past “someday.”

As you reflect, ask yourself:

• What’s one thing I’d still love to make progress on before the year ends?

• What tiny step could I take toward it today something so small it’s impossible to fail?

• What’s one thing I can release or stop doing, to make space for what really matters?

• How do I want to feel when December 31st arrives proud, peaceful, present?

You don’t have to finish the year perfectly.
You just have to finish it intentionally.

So start small. Start now.
Send the message. Take the walk. Write the paragraph. Make the call.

Mid-October is as good a time as any to begin again.
Because two and a half months is plenty of time for something meaningful to shift 
if you start where you are, with what you have, today.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
