The Quiet Magic of Second Chances

Second chances have always fascinated me. Not the grand cinematic kind, but the quiet ones. The kind where someone chooses to try again even when there is no guarantee of a happy ending.

In my books, second chances rarely come wrapped in perfection. They arrive with hesitation. With old wounds still tender. With characters who aren't sure they're brave enough but step forward anyway.

January mirrors this kind of hope beautifully. A new year doesn't erase what came before, but it does offer an open page. You carry your past with you, yet you're allowed to write something new alongside it. Whether it's love, forgiveness, or simply believing in yourself again, second chances don't need fireworks. Sometimes they begin with a single quiet decision: I'm not done yet.
