Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to connect with this as much as I did. Some of the reflections made me emotional, especially thinking about how temporary our time here is. It encouraged me to appreciate the people in my life while I can.

Something changed when I turned fifty. I stopped wanting more things and started wanting more time. Time with my kids. Time to travel down roads I’ve never taken. Time to sit with a good friend and talk about absolutely nothing important. I used to think success was about how much I could accomplish.

I’m still figuring out what I believe spiritually, and I don’t feel the need to rush that process. Connected by Creation gave me some meaningful ideas to explore without feeling like I had to arrive at a conclusion right away.

I listened while driving home after a stressful day at work. Normally I spend that drive replaying every problem in my head. This time I found myself noticing the sunset and feeling thankful just to…
