Dear August,

Show me the clarity born from embracing both joy and pain. Remind me to be grateful for every step of this journey, for the love I've known and the losses that have shaped me. Teach me that even in darkness, I am still growing, still hoping, still becoming.

“She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬

a woman’s best investment, after herself, is in the company she keeps.

You are not responsible for anyone’s distorted perception of you.

Vibing to music after a long day is my favorite part of life actually

no weapon formed against me shall prosper.

Having a clean home, a warm bed, and a sense of security is truly the biggest blessing. That is enough to be content especially in the world we live in today. We are rich is ways we don’t realize.

“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start.”
