We tell ourselves, “This is the right thing to do.” And often, it is. But being right isn’t enough. Rightness without readiness can lead us astray.
This weekend, Natalia and I were supposed to drive to Verona. The plan was perfect: meet a new puppy and open a new chapter after losing Madiba, our beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback, three months ago. Bags were packed, the route mapped out. But as the days crept closer, something inside us stalled.
Thursday became Friday. Friday slipped into Saturday. It wasn’t hesitation—it was something deeper. A whisper that said, not yet.
Life is full of these moments, isn’t it? When the right decision knocks, but the timing feels off. When you think you’re ready, only to realize that readiness is not a date on the calendar—it’s a state of being.
We want to believe that if something is right, it must be right now. But the truth is, even the right thing at the wrong time can fracture what it’s meant to heal. Timing isn’t about forcing moments into place; it’s about aligning them with the rhythm of your soul.
This morning, Riccardo and Romina, the kind breeders awaiting us in Verona, wrote:
"We respect your choice. When the right time comes, we’ll be waiting for you."
Those words carried a truth we all need to hear. The world may not always understand why you pause or wait. But honoring the moment you’re in, instead of rushing to the next, is an act of wisdom—and courage.
We’re still lighting candles for Madiba. Still holding space for the love he left behind. Verona and the puppy will wait. And when we go, it will be with hearts fully open—not as a replacement, but as an expansion.
The right time isn’t something you find; it’s something you feel. It’s when readiness meets rightness, when purpose aligns with possibility. Life’s greatest moments aren’t forced. They unfold.
So ask yourself: Are you chasing the clock—or following the compass?

This soul-stirring anthem speaks to the delicate balance of love, loss, and the patience required for healing. "The Right Time" captures the essence of honoring what was while awaiting the courage to embrace what lies ahead.
The song reminds us that healing is not linear—it's a journey that takes its own pace. Sometimes, the bravest act is to pause, allowing ourselves the grace to mend.
"It’s not goodbye, it’s not the end; it’s the space where broken hearts mend." 💔✨
Whether you're navigating grief, change, or uncertainty, this track offers a beacon of hope. Trust in the process, hold onto the memories, and let the stars guide you to your own "right time."
