She stopped chasing peace. She became it.
I used to wait for peace to arrive like a package I ordered… Checking the energy forecast, hoping things would finally feel calm. But peace isn’t a place you go. It’s a frequency you choose. Again and again and again. Today, I choose peace & happiness. Not when the inbox is cleared.
