LOOKING BACK WITH GRACE

“The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you've come." — Unknown

There’s a moment, every now and then, when I pause in the stillness of my day and look over my shoulder—not in regret, but in awe. The path behind me isn’t straight or perfect. It’s winding, uneven, and scattered with lessons that once felt like mountains. Yet standing here now, I realize every step was sacred. The angels often remind me, “The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come.” How true that is. Too often we glance backward with longing, replaying the should-haves and could-haves until the melody of the present is drowned out. But when we choose instead to look back with gratitude—to witness our resilience, our faith, our healing—something beautiful happens. We see the divine choreography of it all.

Every stumble became strength.

Every tear watered the seeds of wisdom.

Every detour led us closer to home.

Dear Angels, why do we so easily fall into the habit of looking back in sorrow instead of celebration?

Dear Ones, you were never meant to dwell in the shadows of yesterday, but to recognize how much light you’ve gathered since then. Every challenge shaped the wings you wear today. When you look back, let it be not with judgment, but with reverence—for the one who kept walking when it was hardest to see the way. Celebrate your progress. The past was not punishment; it was preparation. You are standing now on sacred ground made from your own courage. Lift your gaze, beloved, and walk forward knowing that every step you’ve taken was a prayer answered.

Angels Whisper:  Do not mourn what once was—bless it. Every sunrise ahead is born from the dawns you’ve already survived.

Today, I promise to keep looking forward.
