Theme: Restoration • Renewal • Inner Balance
I’m still holding pain from the past…
especially the kind I passed on without meaning to.
But I’m not hiding it anymore—I’m facing it with love.
This season, healing means resting when my body demands it,
setting boundaries even when it hurts,
and learning to stop judging myself so harshly.
I’ve carried too much for too long.
There are old wounds and beliefs I’m still releasing,
but I haven’t given up—and that is wholeness.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about not quitting.
I’m learning to forgive in my own way and time.
And I’m ready to speak my truth—
I am a survivor.
And every day, I’m rising a little more.
Love and light to all, and so it is.
