CHAPTER 9: GRACE IN THE EVERYDAY

Still Coming Home: A Quiet Journey of Healing and Breath


For my mother, whose kindness still

teaches me how to breathe.


Grace in the Everyday


As months passed, I noticed how grief folded itself into routine; making tea, opening windows to let in the rush of fresh morning air as I sip my tea and welcome the cool breeze.


As a freelance yoga teacher, my days 

shift between crafting sequences for 

my classes, reviewing emails on some mornings, and on lazy days, simply watching clouds drift by; creating images of my mom within them, accompanied by my favorite hot latte and a wholesome tuna sandwich. 


And then, there are the days when I curl up in bed and let the tears flow freely, my heart heavy yet tender.


Life became a rhythm of small mercies.


I began to see that my mother’s lessons weren’t lost; they had simply moved into everything I touched.


Pause and breathe; what stirred within you?


Notes / What I Felt:


Small moments held meaning.


Grief and grace coexist.
