Trauma is not my resting place. I’m so grateful that I learned that. This healing path hasn’t been easy. It’s been messy and challenging. It’s been a trying test at times—but I am here. At 33, I look back at all I’ve grown through, and I see just how far I’ve come. In my journal the other day, I wrote, “I was born to bloom.” Each season of my life continues to teach me about the soulwork I’ve done and the soulwork that still needs my attention. To whoever needs this, today: You are not your past. You are paving the way. People are watching you. They're taking notes. Keep leading by example even if you have to walk alone. The people who are supposed to journey with you, will meet you on the path. I know this season may feel like a lifetime. I know you may feel lost somedays. But trust and believe that you are headed to where you want to be. Work for it while you wait for it. Rest when you need to rest. Believe that the life you desire and deserve will embrace you. We are are so much more than what we’ve been through. Write this down: I am healing on purpose. I am protecting my peace. I am making a choice to change. I am creating a new path. I am healing with intention. I am aligned with my highest good. Drop a ❤️ if you affirm. Audio words from: How We Heal (link in bio)
