Sunday Chapters – Life Between the Lines: The Beauty of the Rise
“Not all resurrections are loud. Some happen in silence, in stillness, in the decision to try again.” In last week’s essay, Becoming the Story, I wrote about the power of naming your dream—how we stop waiting for permission and start claiming who we already are.
