Intuition

I don't believe in a God that acts as a puppeteer because I believe we have free will.  But I do believe in intuition (maybe more subtle guidance from God?) and the way it seems to understand the bigger picture in a way we can't in the moment.

Maybe intuition knew I needed to face the chaos of 2025 alone.  And maybe intuition knew my ex-husband couldn't learn what he needed to learn in the security of our relationship.  Maybe it guided both of us in our decisions last year (his to end it and mine in how I responded to it such that a divorce could happen quickly).

And now it's up to each of us to take advantage of what intuition has given us to grow and move forward.
