Life can be messy. We make plans and those plans can get derailed. Sometimes we can get frustrated when our lives don’t go according to plan, from the small inconveniences to the larger life plans or dreams.

What I am learning to lean into is: trust. Trust that life will work out even though, in the thick of it, I may not understand why things happen the way they do.

I always used to say, “Everything happens for a reason.” Now, however, I am starting to lean more toward the idea that no matter what happens, I will figure it out and I will grow from all of my experiences.
