My eyes popped open this morning at 3:30 a.m., and my mind was already racing — reviewing my to-do list (including this Friday Flow!). Today is a full one. Day two of Speakonomics, a workshop presented by eWomenNetwork (of which I’m a member). When it wraps at 4:00, I’ll head to my mom’s to visit with my brother and sister-in-law who are in from Tennessee. And then… dinner, dancing, and fun.

2026 has been quite a year so far. So much turmoil permeates our TV, social media feeds, communities, and everyday conversations. It feels like it’s everywhere. These environmental factors invade our thoughts and emotions, and even though most of it is out of our control, it’s so easy to get caught up in it all. And when I do, it takes a toll.

When the chaos of daily life feels overwhelming, this thought is an earthly perspective that brings me back to center and helps me let go.
