I’m on a mission to:

The Lavender Path

She’d signed up for a month-long artist’s retreat at the edge of a small village, a quiet cluster of shutters and slate roofs perched above the Dordogne. Her room overlooked a garden filled with rosemary, thyme, and sof
Sometimes the most profound shift isn’t something new—
It’s the quiet recognition of what’s always been true.
The breath you didn’t know you were holding,
finally released.
The deep yes beneath your longing.

The Window on Rue des Martyrs

She arrived in Paris on a drizzly Wednesday, her suitcase wheels clicking over the wet cobblestones like a heartbeat. She had rented a small apartment in Montmartre, just above a florist’s shop where the scent of
Soul Truth: I am being revealed to myself.

Last fall, during a quiet retreat, I wrote this phrase in my journal without fully knowing why.
Not “I’m finding myself” or “I’m becoming someone new.”
