And So It Is...

Whew.

You ever have one of those days where you don’t fight the river? Like, you don’t try to swim upstream in a current clearly not built for your arms, lungs, or mental capacity in that moment?

That was me today. I didn’t argue with the schedule. I didn’t wrestle with reality. I didn’t try to become Wonder Woman, Olivia Pope, and my own therapist all before noon.

I just… accepted it.

What a wild and delicious concept: Acceptance.

Today came in with its energy, its hiccups, its whispers of “this wasn’t in the plan,” and instead of jumping into Fix-It Mode, I took a sacred pause and said,

“And so it is.”

Now don’t get me wrong. I didn't give up. I didn’t crumble. I didn’t shrink. I just chose to see clearly and respond wisely. Not react. Respond with grace and stillness, with the divine on the mainline. I accepted the moment for what it was, not what I wished it would be. And let me tell you, peace showed up with her shoes off and a satin bonnet on, ready to stay the night.

There is something wildly healing about saying, “This is what it is, and I’m not going to let it steal my alignment.” Even if the day was funky, even if the conversation was off, even if the vibe tried to do the wobble and take my balance with it,I still knew: I am held. I am guided. I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.

My only job is to stay connected, stay grounded, stay centered, and stay listening for the divine whisper that tells me what’s mine to do next. And the best part? I feel good about that.

I didn’t overperform. I didn’t spiral. I didn’t try to control things that weren’t mine to control.

I released it all like it was a balloon at a cookout. Poof. Gone.

Letting go doesn't mean not caring. It means trusting that caring doesn’t have to look like clinging. And now, here I am, ending the night with my heart open, my energy grounded, and my spirit smiling. “And so it is.” Not as resignation. But as reverence. Because today, I honored what was, instead of fighting for what should’ve been.

That’s a win.That’s wisdom.That’s alignment in action.

I’m off to bed feeling light. And maybe just a little proud that I chose peace on purpose.

Because sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is stop trying to rewrite the moment, and instead, read it. Let it teach you. Let it hold you. Let it move you toward who you're becoming.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you’ve given up, it means you’ve grown up enough to trust the process without needing to micromanage the miracle.

“And so it is” isn’t just a phrase. It’s a frequency. And tonight, I’m vibrating right in the center of it.
