Tuesday Thoughts And Words Of wisdom

Hi Friends,

I trust you were encouraged with last week’s musings on the Thanksgiving table. How was yours? This week I was inspired by some collected life wisdom, written out in short but powerful sentences. I hope one or more will speak to you.  

7 Truths That Quietly Shape a Stronger Life

Every season of life teaches us something, especially the ones that stretch us or shake our relationships. Over the years — through motherhood, change, divorce, and reinvention — I’ve learned that certain truths stay steady no matter what the circumstances look like. They’re the kind of reminders that land quietly at first, but hit deeper the more life you’ve lived.

Here are seven such truths that keep showing up again and again.

1. No message is a message.

Silence can reveal more than a detailed explanation ever could. When someone doesn’t reach out, that absence holds meaning. It invites you to pay attention, to trust your intuition, and to stop waiting for clarity from people who choose not to give it.

2. People lie, actions don't.

You can listen to promises, excuses, and beautifully packaged explanations, but someone’s behavior always tells the real story. Actions don’t sugarcoat. They don’t manipulate. They simply show you who someone is and how much space they deserve in your life.

3. Some things fall apart because you’re meant for better.

Just because something didn’t work out doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes life redirects you because you were settling without noticing it. When something ends, it can be a sign that your next chapter needs more room to unfold — and that you deserve more than the bare minimum.

4. If someone comes back, remember how they left.

A return can feel flattering, comforting, or confusing. But a comeback never erases the story of someone’s departure. How they walked out, gently, abruptly, honestly, or carelessly, matters. Their return may offer closure, but it shouldn’t erase the lesson.

5. The quality of the people around you counts for more then the amount of people.

You don’t need an audience. You need a handful of honest, grounded humans who show up in the good and the hard. Quality relationships nourish you. Quantity distracts you. Depth is what carries you through major life shifts.

6. Stay calm. Everything happens for a reason.

Chaos rarely feels meaningful when you’re in the middle of it. But later, when the dust settles, you often see exactly why something happened the way it did. Staying calm doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you’re refusing to let fear or uncertainty run your life.

7. Peace is better then revenge.

Revenge, resentment, and bitterness drain the life out of you. Choosing peace is not weakness. It’s self-respect. It’s saying: I won’t let this hard thing turn me into someone I’m not. Walking forward without carrying the weight of old battles is one of the strongest things you can do.

Closing Thoughts

These truths aren’t theoretical. They’re lived. They come from years of navigating real relationships, real disappointments, and real growth. And the more you practice them, the freer you become.

If you want support in applying these in your own midlife chapter, especially if you’re navigating divorce, change, or rediscovering who you are, I can help you walk through it with clarity and confidence.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

This week's affirmation :

I choose peace, clarity and truth.
