Editing my book today and wanted to share this part about why living a peace led life (instead of a 'happiness' led-life) is magical:
"Choosing happiness, or choosing joy, may be something you’ve practiced and been successful at, but that doesn’t mean that you have processed your sadness, anger, hurt, frustration.
Peace allows us to process those feelings, and give them space to flow in and out. Peace is allowing happiness to leave and knowing that we’ll be ok, that it will flow back in again.
Peace is a TRUST that you are safe to feel emotions other than happiness. That you are not broken, that you are capable of FEELING emotions that are hard and heavy.
Peace isn’t trying to trap happiness and resist sadness/anger/fear/frustration. It is allowing, it is acceptance, it is experiencing life and the fullness of the waves, while not letting the waves destroy us. Peace is an anchor."
