When Your Pilot Light Goes Out
Have you ever looked in the mirror and barely recognized the person staring back? Not because of wrinkles or gray hair, but because something essential seems missing? That's exactly what happened when Karen Walrond stood in her newly rebuilt bathroom after Hurricane Harvey destroyed her Houston home in 2018. Exhausted and depleted, she initially blamed age for her diminished reflection. Then came the revelation: it wasn't age stealing her vitality-it was stress. This moment sparked a quiet revolution, leading her to commit to small daily acts of self-care: meditation, movement, water, gratitude. A year later, a friend immediately noticed the transformation, perfectly capturing what had occurred: "Your pilot light went out... And now it's back." This simple observation reveals a profound truth about aging-what we attribute to growing older is often something entirely different, something we actually have the power to change.
