Keep all areas of your home organised and in order. Clutter visible, or stuffed in cupboards, or paperwork all create a burden in your life. A tidy home will lead to a tidy mind. A tidy mind will lead to a peaceful life even with strife in your life.

I am deeply grateful for my family. They have taught me the true value of life. Through them, I am learning that life’s greatest gift is to love and cherish the people God has blessed me with. Watching them grow fills my heart with joy, and I am continually reminded to be thankful to God for all He has done and all He will continue to do in our lives. Every day is a precious blessing, and I am in awe of the love and grace that surrounds us. – Marie Russell

Who do I feel safe with? Who do I now feel unsafe with? Where am I unsure about my safety? Take a moment to notate your safe spaces, danger zones, and spaces that need more investigation.

My company just went through layoffs, and performance reviews are around the corner. I want to ask for a raise, but is now the right time — or should I keep my head down? — Big value, small paycheck.
1. Assess the landscape. If the job market in your field is tight and your salary aligns with industry standards (check Glassdoor), it might not be the ideal time to ask. This is especially true if you already have great benefits, like work from home flexibility or comprehensive health coverage. (Related: How Much Will Salaries Increase in 2025?)
2. Tally your contributions. Highlight how your responsibilities have expanded and tie your work to measurable impacts like driving revenue or improving efficiencies. Create a doc to keep track of these; this can be helpful to share with your manager. (Related: How To Know When To Ask for a Raise)
3. Start the conversation. Set up a meeting and ask your manager for clarity: “My performance has been strong, and I’m taking on additional responsibilities. What do you see as my future here?” They may offer insight into the timing or feasibility of a raise. Even if they can’t give you the money right now, introducing the topic can let them know you’re thinking longterm. If they don’t bring the subject up again, bring it up in three months.
This balance is not about choosing surrender over steadiness; it’s about honoring both. We need the wildness of dreams to feel fully alive, but we also need the steadiness of intentional living to protect what keeps us feeling safe in the wilderness, what makes us whole. It’s a lovely, lively dance, a constant interplay of giving and preservering, of the ethereal and grounding deep.
