Your Best Is Always Good Enough

Breathe gently.

Release the weight
of impossible expectations,
the endless measuring,
and the constant comparisons.

Your best
was never meant to be perfection.

It is presence.

It is the quiet courage
to meet this moment
with the heart,
the patience,
and the strength
you carry today.

Some days,
your best will move mountains.

Other days,
your best is simply:

to rise,
to breathe,
to take one more step,

to offer yourself
the same grace
you so freely give
to others.

Both are sacred.

The seasons of your soul
were never meant
to bloom all at once.

Even the tallest trees
know winters
when nothing appears to grow,

yet beneath the surface,
life is gathering,
roots are deepening,
and a new awakening
is quietly being prepared.

Honor where you are.

Trust what you have.

Offer what you can.

You do not have to earn your worth
through flawless performance.

Your sincere effort,
given with an open heart,
is enough.

Let every breath remind you:

I am growing.
I am learning.
I am becoming.

And today,
in this moment,
with this wholehearted offering,

my best

is always

good enough.

Our entrance door is functioning again. That is the door on the aldi car park side. Thank you for everyone's patience and understanding over the last few weeks.

A wise woman once told me: “Some things in life we outgrow like childhood dresses in our wardrobe that we once loved to wear but that are now too small. It is not that they have shrunk overnight, but that over time, we have slowly grown until they no longer fit us.

And while wearing them was beautiful, and we can treasure the moments we spent wearing them, the time comes for us to no longer wear them: to step into what is new while gracefully letting go of what is old.”

This page, where I have been sharing poetry, quotes and stories, has now become that childhood dress for me. The time has come for me to shift toward sharing new content and to move away from the old.

I will take a temporary pause from posting on this page this year and plan to return to Facebook with new content later this year that reflects this shift in direction. However, I will likely be posting more regularly on other platforms.

While the content of this page will now shift to reflect this new direction, I am in the process of creating an archive containing selections from my previous writing, which will be available to read for free on my website.

In the comments section, I have also included a tagged list of some of the talented artists whose work I frequently shared on this page, should you wish to follow them and support their work.

Warm regards,
Tahlia
