May or May-hem?

May or “May-hem?”
Finding Peace in the Busy Transition
There’s something about May that feels…full.
Full calendars. Full hearts. Full schedules. Full-on mayhem.
If you have kids, it’s the final push of the school year - performances, award ceremonies, field days, spirit weeks, teacher gifts, and maybe even a graduation that marks a major life shift. The kind that makes you pause and think, how did we get here so fast?
And even if you don’t have kids in school, May still carries a noticeable shift. It’s the bridge between structured routines and the more open, fluid rhythm of summer. The pace changes. The energy changes. And whether we realize it or not… we are meant to change with it too.
Because just like nature moves from spring into summer, we’re designed to transition - not sprint.
We are about to launch our last one from high school to college - a May full of prom, graduation, parties, family, and friends…taking her to orientation and getting ready to move her onto campus hours away. All while life and work is still going. So I am trying to focus on being present, finding peace in the mayhem, and joy in all of the little moments.
So if May feels overwhelming, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just in a season of movement.
Here are a few gentle ways to navigate the month of May (or “May-hem”) with more peace, presence, and intention:
1. Accept the Season You’re In
