So, dear reader, here’s your spark for the day: you are the author of your own narrative. If the King of England can pause his busy schedule of corgis and state banquets to offer a kind word about a painful book, then surely you can find a moment to soften a hard story in your own life.
Maybe it’s a text you’ve been avoiding. Maybe it’s a grudge you’re ready to drop. Whatever it is, channel your inner monarch (minus the castle—unless you have one, in which case, please invite me for tea). Be the person who surprises everyone with compassion. That’s the most inspiring, joyful, and frankly fun thing you can do.
Now, go ahead—google Charles Spencer’s book, read the headlines, and let yourself be entertained by this royal saga. But more importantly, let it inspire you to write a kinder chapter in your own story. After all, the best plot twists are the ones that make us all feel a little more connected.
