## Resource

In this soft Magic Monday, I reflect on expectations and the ache we feel when reality does not match the dream. We explore what is happening in the mind, the nervous system, and the spirit when anticipation turns into uncertainty. This is a gentle reminder that releasing the timeline does not mean releasing the dream, and what is meant for you cannot miss you.
