2 months agoCommunity Connection Hey Friend,
I’ve been sitting with this thought lately: What if we stopped measuring our worth by how fast we heal?
There have been so many moments in my life where I’ve rushed myself through pain—trying to “fix” things quickly so I could move on, so I wouldn’t have to sit in the discomfort. But I’ve learned that true healing isn’t about speed; it’s about depth. It’s about allowing yourself to feel, to process, to be fully present with your emotions without judgment.
So today, I want to remind you: There is no deadline for your healing. There is no expiration date on your growth. Whether you’re taking big steps or small ones, you are still moving. And that movement matters.
Instead of focusing on how far you have left to go, take a moment to honor how far you’ve already come. The version of you that once felt stuck, lost, or unsure? You are becoming the person they prayed for.
You are healing in your own time, in your own way, and that is more than enough.
Give yourself the gift of patience. Let grace be your rhythm. And trust that every step—every high, every low, every in-between—is leading you exactly where you’re meant to be.
With Love,

There was a time when I went MIA, and I wrote in a journal about all the emotions I was feeling. Seven years later, I found that journal, froze, and called my sister because I was afraid of triggering those feelings again. She said I’d come so far, but I didn’t feel it. She suggested I reread it to see my growth. She was right! Seeing what I wrote showed me how much progress I’ve made. Seven years is a long time, but I took my time—my time, not the time my older siblings would have dictated. I don’t let that bother me. I was lost then, but now I’ve moved forward at my own pace. Forgiving is for me, not them. Take your time, and all will fall into place. I’m learning to love myself, and this healing journey has taught me so much. ❤️🙏 #Healing #Growth #Journal #Sister #Time #Forgiveness #SelfLove #Progress
