I got a text message this morning: “Send me positive thoughts today cuz I’m stressin’!”

And so I did—along with a reminder to breathe.

I know that feeling—when you just need to reach out to someone else to hold the space of peace for you. I was grateful to receive that message on a day when I felt peace through and through me.

My husband and I recently realized how we each take turns freaking out. Rarely are we in that same frenzied space at the same time. Thank goodness. When I’m down, he can usually help make me smile. When he’s worried, I can usually help him to see that worry won’t change anything.

Imagine we all have someone in our lives we can go to during those times of stress. It’s particularly nice, though, when we can talk our own selves off the cliff…Turn within and ask the bigger questions: “What’s behind the fear (worry, doubt, anxiety)? That’s where the power is. That’s where the peace lives.

Still, I’m grateful for my husband and the many people in my life who see the Truth of me—and can help me to see it on the days when I simply cannot.
