On the space between feeling stuck and finding freedom — the subtle shifts that help us unlock old patterns and step into light. We reflect on the webs we weave, the keys we already hold, and what it really means to move from stuck to soaring.

Stop waiting for one big happily ever after in your life. Your life has thousands of happily ever afters.

There was one when you laid belly down on the grass on the first day that felt warm enough to call it spring, daydreaming about all that summer would bring.

And then there's the happily ever after of the day you watched the sun go down from your seat on the beach, toes digging deeper in the sand while the whole sky turned an even deeper gold.

There’s a happily ever after on the cozy evening you refused to go out and rested journaling right by the fire.

And in the way you arranged that bouquet on the kitchen table.

And in the first bite of homemade mac and cheese your best friend made to cheer you up, and it did.

There was a happily ever after when you watched your team hit the ball and you found out what it felt like to know that you could celebrate someone’s wins as much as your own.

There was a happily ever after in the glow of the early morning sun behind leaves on the day you said you’d get up early, and you did.

There is a happily ever after on your walk home now if you look around, because you will find, what you are looking for.
