A Declaration of Faith and New Beginnings

The struggle has been real and relentless. As a single mother. I'm barely scraping by, haunted by addiction in a town that offers no escape. My world narrowed to my children, my boyfriend, and one loyal friend, having consciously distanced myself from anyone who is unhealthy or down right toxic to me, my children and our purpose. 

Depression and anxiety have been my constant shadows, stemming from a foundation where I learned only survival, never success, and where praise or belief from my family was a foreign concept.

But a profound transformation is underway. I now understand, with unwavering conviction, that I have a purpose. My spirit is finally ready to embrace the faith that no matter what comes, I will be okay. This process of laying my old self to rest and being reborn as a new woman is simultaneously heartbreaking and terrifying. It's a journey I'm having to push myself through, knowing that full surrender to God is the ultimate destination.

Every step of this transformation, every tear, every moment of doubt, is a testament to the incredible power of the human spirit when it chooses faith over fear. I am a woman being reborn, not through ease, but through unwavering belief that I will be okay, no matter what comes. If you are standing at your own crossroads, feeling the pull of a new beginning, I urge you to listen to that inner voice. Trust in your strength, trust in your purpose, and know that you too can find your way to full surrender and profound peace.

Keep discovering, Keep blooming!

Learning to love and live with myself

  Lately, I've been deep in the trenches of change, growth, and the beautiful, painful art of letting go. Especially as a single mom of two (out of three!) navigating a full-time job, and taking care of everyone around me! every single transition, for me, comes with its own unique set of challenges and emotions and It's been tough, raw, and sometimes downright exhausting.  Some days, the weight feels unbearable, and the tears flow freely. But then, something shifts. Maybe it's a sunrise, a song, or a sweet note from one of my children. It's in those tiny moments that I remember I'm not just struggling; I'm building incredible resilience. I'm learning to carry both my burdens and my blessings with a grace I never knew I possessed.  This isn't just survival; it's an active process of becoming. I'm sad for what's lost, happy for what's blossoming, and fiercely hopeful for who I'm growing into, one challenging, beautiful day at a time. Th...

a powerful moment of re-connection and readiness

  For so many years, my spirit was a parched landscape, barren and cracked under a relentless sun. It was a wilderness within, where thorny vines of habit choked out the vibrant life that longed to flourish. The weight of that arid past still settles over me like a heavy fog, bringing with it the deep sorrow of a polluted spring, its waters turned bitter by my own choices. And there's the shadow that falls across my own reflection, born from the detritus I allowed to accumulate. Yet, even in that desolate stretch, the earth has slowly begun to stir. For the past few years, I've been tending to this inner terrain. It hasn't been a steady bloom; there have been seasons of harsh winds and chilling frosts, moments where the old dryness creeps back in. But even as the skies weep, something profound has shifted. I've been reaching towards the vast expanse above, my pleas rising like smoke signals to the heavens, asking for the gentle rain of clarity and the firm ground to sta...

Walking the Narrow Path: Love, Addiction, and Divine Guidance

There are battles we choose, and then there are battles that choose us. For mothers, especially, the well-being of our children dictates the very landscape of our lives. My journey has been one marked by profound challenges, but also by incredible grace and unwavering faith. A few years ago, I made an agonizing decision born of desperation and deep love: I called Child Protective Services. It was a choice that saved my children's lives, extracting them from chaos and exposure to addiction. My own healing took three months in a residential treatment followed by nine months in a sober living program. This choice was a testament to surrender and the relentless pursuit of light. Today, I live a beautiful life, I have custody of two of my kids and I'm raising them on my own. Yet, the shadow of addiction, through their father, remains. He's caught in his own struggle, and his illness often eclipses his capacity to be a safe influence. This is where the spiritual battle intensifie...
