Lately, the days have felt like a crowded room. Between the "Mixed Bag" of household chores and the high-energy demands of a new professional chapter, I’ve found myself standing at a crossroads.
I’ve spent the last few days connecting with people from all walks of life—some who carry the weight of their struggles in their voices, and others who look at life through the lens of pure logic. In the middle of it all, there is a "system." Every system has its glitches, its targets, and its noise. It’s easy to feel like just another cog in a machine, especially when you’re fighting a physical cold or the exhaustion of a long Sunday.
But this morning, something shifted.
I looked at my son as he came home from his first independent "big boy" errand with his father. I realized that the time I spend away from him—focused on my screen, my words, and my "students" in life—is not time lost. It is an investment.
I didn't quit my journey after he was born because I wanted him to see a mother who is a North Star, not just a shadow. I want him to understand that a woman’s voice has a rhapsody of its own.
I’ve stopped working for the "result" and started working for the Impact.
Whether I am helping someone find their confidence or simply holding a mirror up to a child’s potential, I am no longer doing it for a "target." I am doing it because I know what it feels like to be on the other side of a language barrier or a closed door.
We often worry if our children will see a "busy" mother. But today, I believe my son is seeing a confident mother. He is learning to be brave because he sees me navigating my own "Mixed Bag" with a smile, even when the cup is a little cracked.
The noise of the world is loud, but my purpose is louder.
Reflections for today:
Presence is about quality, not just hours.
Every person we help is a bridge we build for our own future.
Sometimes, the best way to teach bravery is to be brave yourself.
