Choose Love, Again and Again

🌸 Inspiration Corner

Michelle May’s words remind me that love is the anchor in everything I do. It’s so easy to look for quick fixes when I’m tired, sad, or restless. But when I pause and choose what I love, whether it’s food, work, people, or myself, I come back to my center. Her reminder is gentle but powerful: love is my safest place.

In the rush of building a business and taking care of everyone else, it’s easy to forget that I deserve that same care. So today, when I feel the tug of stress or emptiness, I will ask myself: What do I love? Then I’ll give myself permission to choose that.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

One small way I practice this is by asking one mindful question: What do I really need right now? I keep this question near my desk. When my energy dips or my mood shifts, I breathe and answer honestly. Sometimes the answer is water. Sometimes it’s a good laugh. Sometimes it’s closing my eyes for a moment. That pause keeps me honest with myself and connected to what matters.
