Turning the Page: Letting Go of May and Starting fresh in June with Hope
May? Whew. She came in like a lion and left me feeling like I’d wrestled with every emotion in the book. From road rage from another driver that left my hands shaking on the steering wheel, to waiting on a shipment that never showed, to scammers popping up in my inbox trying to convince me I owed them money—it felt like negativity was knocking on every door of my life. And honestly? For a moment, I nearly let it in.
I pride myself on finding the good in the grit, but last month tested every ounce of that resolve. There were days I wanted to crawl into a shell and shut the world out, just to find peace. I prayed, I cried, I vented (more than once), and I had moments where I asked, “Why does it feel like I’m being targeted by chaos?”
But here’s the thing I’ve learned: a bad month doesn’t equal a bad life. And June? She’s my fresh page. My reset button. My reminder that I can choose how I respond, even if I can’t control what comes at me.
So I’m releasing May. I’m not packing her baggage into June’s suitcase. The anger from that rude driver? Left it in the rearview mirror. The frustration over missing inventory? Not worth another sleepless night. And those scammers? Blocked, deleted, and not stealing one more ounce of my peace.
June is for gentleness. For forward motion. For walking in grace—even when things still don’t go perfectly. This month, I’m choosing boundaries over burnout, peace over petty, and faith over frustration. I don’t know what’s coming, but I know who I am walking into it with—God, my grit, and a whole lot of grace.
So here’s to June: may she be soft, kind, and everything May wasn’t.
