As I sat at the red light today, a memory came to mind and suddenly, I was overcome with grief and pain. In that moment, I was reliving the hurt—the things I wish I had changed, the things I wish I had controlled better. Grief has a way of showing up at the most unexpected times, reminding us of both our pain and our resilience. Looking back, I realize I’m still actively grieving, yet I’m also thankful I’m no longer in that place. Two truths can exist at once: I can be grateful for where I’m going, while still mourning where I thought I would be. That’s when I had to shift my focus to a new memory—a space filled with joy, love, peace, and patience—because that’s what I needed before, but wasn’t available. Now what you see…..I’m not just existing, I’m LIVING—truly and actively focused on making every single day worth it. Doing and becoming who I truly desire to be, and walking daily as the woman God created me to be. This is the journey. 🙏🏽
