Hi, I’m Carie. I write daily posts about navigating these times.
The Kind of Woman I Am
My dad sent me an Instagram reel this morning. His mom, my Grandma Vi, used to have these words displayed in her kitchen. I remember actually being a little freaked out by them when I was really little — Catholicism made me really scared of the devil. But as I got older, I learned to love these words. Here’s a story about my grandma and how she helped turn me into the kinda of woman the devil himself is afraid of.
TL/DR: You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be
Life can be so funny. You can feel so far out of alignment from where your ego mind believes you ought to be. Things can be so quiet in life, for days, months, even years. You can be on the brink of losing faith, of believing you’ve taken far too many wrong turns to even consider that you’re still on your highest and best path, then WHAM.
You find yourself at a Starbucks, far from home, and the universe reminds you that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
