Boundaries, then, become the holy framework that protects our peace. Boundaries are not walls of rejection, but lines of clarity. They let others know where you end and where God begins. Boundaries protect your time, your energy, your purpose, and your healing journey.

It’s also important to enjoy the journey. Life isn’t a race, and there’s no gold medal for burnout. Comparison will always try to convince you that you’re behind — but joy, gratitude, and intention help you stay grounded. Embrace your timeline, celebrate your growth, and trust that your path is unfolding just as it should.

When most people think of the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness Stakes, images of extravagant hats, mint juleps, and high fashion often come to mind. But woven into the rich tapestry of these traditions is a lesser-known but deeply powerful story—the impact of Black fashion, presence, and excellence at the racetrack. From the earliest days of American horse racing, Black people played a central role, not only as skilled jockeys and trainers but also as trendsetters and cultural contributors whose style and influence shaped the soul of derby culture.

Prayer and journaling can also serve as powerful tools for processing emotions and staying grounded in faith. Meditating on Scripture and reflecting on God’s promises can provide comfort and perspective, reminding you that He is in control even when the world feels chaotic.
