I am healing in layers even when the process feels slow
Today I honor the healing already happening within me — even if the wound has not fully closed.
My past trauma does not trigger me the way it once did.
It may still exist in memory, but it no longer controls my present.
That is healing.
Every part of me — my body, my spirit, the mama, the leader, the survivor — has carried strength for a long time.
And today, I acknowledge that every part of me deserves support.
Wholeness does not mean perfect.
For me today, wholeness means living my best life while still becoming.
It means integrating who I was with who I am now.
I am learning to respond instead of react.
That shift may be small, but it is powerful.
It is evidence that I am growing.
Old beliefs that once shaped my survival —
“I always mess up.”
“I have to carry everything.”
“I can’t rest.”
— are being upgraded.
Healing for me is slow.
And slow is sacred.
Slow means intentional.
Slow means lasting.
If I truly trust that I am becoming whole — not broken —
I would treat myself with more kindness.
So today, I choose kindness.
I choose patience.
I choose grace for my own process.
I am not behind.
I am not damaged.
I am becoming.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
