KEEP AN OPEN HEART. DARE TO IMAGINE WHAT LIES AHEAD.

You may not be able to identify exactly what lies in the distance, but this remains true: there are still new experiences up ahead of you, Ronalyn. There may be places in your life right now that feel immovable: a current emotional state, a major life event forcing you to slow down or wait — and yet, with each new day, this is still true: there is change. And, while the change may be subtle from day to day or week to week, there will be times in the future when you will be able to look back and find that something new was unfolding before you, even if you couldn't see it at the time.

May today be one of those days when you reflect on the small things in life that surprised you. Even if it was years ago, I hope you can remember:

-The friendship you never thought would happen

-The city you never expected to fall in love with

-The conversation you never expected to be able to have

-The move you didn't think you were going to be able to make

-That one part of your story you never thought you were going to be able to let go of

Over and over, life has continued to surprise you, even in the smallest ways. And yet still, the road ahead of you continues to unfold. And while the unfolding may be slower than expected, and you have been detoured and redirected more than you would have liked, one thing remains true: as long as you are alive, there is still room in this landscape for you to discover something new. Keep an open heart. Dare to imagine what lies ahead.
