Faith, Lessons, and the Journey Back to Myself

It’s been a long time since I’ve written on this blogging site, but today something inside me said: start again. Writing has always been the way I express myself best, and I feel called to share my reflections, experiences, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Life, as we all know, doesn’t always unfold the way we hope or expect. There have been times when everything in my world seemed upside down, when I felt more like I was existing than truly living. Those are the hardest moments—the waiting, the uncertainty, the feeling of being stuck. But what I’ve come to understand is that faith, prayer, and patience truly carry us through.

Over the years, I’ve taken drastic chances and made bold decisions in both my personal life and career. At times, faith was the only thing I had to hold on to. Through struggles, losses, and painful ordeals, I learned something powerful: if I stay positive most of the time, set clear intentions, and trust in the greater plan, things do work out. Sometimes not in the way I imagined or hoped, but always in a way that guides me forward—and somehow, I always land on my feet.

The universe has a way of teaching us the lessons we need, even when they come disguised as hardship. And though it isn’t easy to remain happy or positive all the time—especially when life feels heavy—I’ve found that leaning into faith and prayer makes the burden lighter.

I’ve also learned to protect my peace. Pain comes not only from life’s circumstances but sometimes from people—especially when those people are family. Disrespect, judgment, and mistreatment from those closest to us can cut the deepest. But the lesson is clear: no matter who it is, we must distance ourselves from anyone who tries to break us or diminish our spirit.

Today, I write because I needed to release what I’ve been carrying. Sharing my truth lightens the weight on my heart, and perhaps it will resonate with someone else who needs to hear it. If you’re going through a season of waiting, of uncertainty, or of pain, my message to you is simple: pray, trust, and wait. The universe is always working on your behalf, even when you can’t yet see the outcome.

I know who I am, and I know my heart. And with faith as my anchor, I will always find my way forward.

Does this resonate with you?

With love,
