Let It All Go Release everything that is not beneficial to your well-being. Let it all go. Let it fall away like old leaves that have reached the end of their season. You do not need to carry what drains your spirit or dims your clarity. What is heavy, let it rest. What is tangled, let it loosen. In the small, quiet spaces you create by letting go, your breath softens, your mind settles, and your heart remembers its own rhythm. And in that stillness you find your peace again. ~ 'Let It All Go' by Spirit of a Hippie Mary Anne Byrne ~ Art by Olamik

Come sit with me for a minute.. . . Ever since my stroke on May 8th, I’ve felt life in a different way… deeper, softer, slower. And something has been sitting on my heart this morning that I want to share with you. One day — and we never know when — we’ll live a moment that never returns. The last hug.The last kiss.The last time someone we love says our name. Those moments don’t announce themselves. They don’t say, “Hey, this is the last one… pay attention.”They just show up looking like any ordinary moment, and we let them pass because we think we have more time. But friends… life is fragile. It’s breathtaking, but it’s fragile. My stroke taught me that. In one moment everything can change, and the world looks different when you open your eyes again. What truly matters isn’t what we bought, what we achieved, or what we planned for. It's the love we gave. The warmth we shared. The kindness we tucked into someone’s heart when they needed it most. So today, hold your people a little closer. Say the words you’ve been holding back. Let your voice shake if it needs to — say it anyway. Look into the eyes of the people you love long enough for them to feel seen… valued… unrepeatable. Because at the end of this beautiful, fragile life, it won’t be the big moments we long for.It'll be the little ones — the laughter at the kitchen table, the gentle touch, the quiet day that slipped by without us knowing it was the last of its kind. And hear me: Love is the only thing that lasts. It's the only thing we carry with us, and the only thing we leave behind. So keep loving… fiercely, gently, wholeheartedly.That’s how we change the world, one cup of coffee at a time. ☕💛✨ Come join me every Tuesday night at 6PM (EST) for Grandma Grady's Coffee Chat: https://www.skool.com/ageless-wisdom-grandma-grady-5485

I read something this morning on ✖️ from Alex Hormozi, and it really made me pause and reflect... He wrote: “You’re right. You had it harder. You started with less. Bad things happened to you. But believing those things limit you , prevents you from becoming an example to everyone else like you. Be the one who had it worse but still did better.” When I read that, I whispered to myself...“Now that’s a profound, soul-stirring truth.” So, I rewrote it in my own words — my Grandma Grady version: “I’m the one who had it the worst...I had the hardest childhood. I’ve known years of poverty-level financial struggles. I’ve been hurt, betrayed, and physically and menially abused. HERE I AM TODAY!! — living proof that I am NOT defined by my circumstances!! I DID BETTER! I did a hell-of-a-lot better!! 🙏 My children had the kind of childhood I could only dream of and for the last 40 years, no man has laid a hand upon me nor have I had to worry about where my next penny was coming from; I have plenty of food, cozy warm shelter, and an abundance of favor from God. God has been faithful — always.” 💖 ✨ Beautiful Souls, let this be your reminder that our past may explain you, but it does not define you. Through faith, grace, and perseverance, you can rise —and become the living example someone else needs to see. 💫
