Finding Grace in the Unexpected: A Personal Reflection

This week’s episode is a little different.Following an unexpected wrist fracture that brought my upcoming travels, events, and carefully arranged calendar to a sudden halt, I found myself being called into a much deeper surrender. What began as an unwelcome interruption became an invitation to trust more fully and open to the grace, support, and unexpected angels that have appeared along the way.In this deeply personal reflection, shared from the midst of this unexpected season, I explore what happens when life asks us to relate to time in a different way. Drawing on the ancient distinction between Chronos—the world of schedules and timelines—and Kairos—the sacred space where grace, synchronicity, and deeper wisdom can emerge—I share some of the insights, tenderness, and miracles that have found me in the pause.As we stand on the threshold of a new season, perhaps we are being invited to soften our grip, listen more deeply, and remember that life isn’t a race to be won, but a mystery to be lived.After all, as Montreal’s own Leonard Cohen so beautifully reminded us, “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”Maybe what feels like an interruption is actually an invitation.And maybe something beautiful is waiting to emerge.With big warm love,Jessie May
