Finding Peace and Purpose in Uncertain Times
Mayakia AndersonLet’s talk about what’s heavy on a lot of hearts right now—change. It’s a word that stirs up hope for some and fear for others, especially when it feels like the change is beyond our control. With the political shift in America, many are feeling that sense of unease, wondering what the future holds. It’s natural to feel this way, love, but let’s take a moment to reflect on something deeper: how the world outside mirrors the world within.
You see, our choices as individuals and as a collective often reveal what we’re carrying in our hearts and minds. Whether it’s the leaders we elect or the paths we choose in life, our decisions reflect where we are in our journey. America, like each of us, is a mirror—one that sometimes reveals things we’d rather not see. And while that reflection might feel unsettling, it’s also an opportunity. It’s a chance to ask, “What can I do to bring more light into this world? How can I live in alignment with love, compassion, and truth?”
Let’s anchor this conversation in nature, as we always do. Think about the herb rosemary. It’s a powerful plant known for its ability to cleanse and protect. Ancient traditions have used rosemary to ward off negativity, purify spaces, and even sharpen the mind. In challenging times, rosemary reminds us to clear out the mental and emotional clutter so we can focus on what truly matters.
Try this: brew a cup of rosemary tea. Let its earthy, pine-like aroma fill your senses and ground you. As you sip, set an intention to release fear and welcome clarity. Think of rosemary as a gentle guide, helping you find focus amid the noise.
Now, let’s bring this back to our choices. Even when we feel powerless about what’s happening in the larger world, we always have the power to choose our response. We can choose to live with intention, to act with love, and to create spaces of light wherever we go. These small acts ripple outward, and before you know it, they’ve touched more lives than you can imagine.
God is still on the throne, love. That’s a truth that doesn’t waver, no matter who’s in office or what the headlines say. Our job is to keep moving forward, to keep planting seeds of hope, and to trust that light will always outshine darkness.
So, as we step into this new chapter, let’s do it with grace. Let’s surround ourselves with herbs that heal, tea that soothes, and people who uplift. Let’s focus on what we can build, not what we fear might crumble. And most importantly, let’s remember that we carry the power to shape the world, one small choice at a time.
