For as long as I can remember, I felt called to write. Even as a little girl, I knew it was something God kept placing on my heart but I didn't understand it then, and honestly, I didn't listen. Life, fear, and timing got in the way. Everything changed in 2023 after attending a women's conference in Georgia. Something shifted in me. I knew without question that God was calling me to finally move. Not later. Not "when I was ready." But now. I felt led to start a blog, even though I didn't have a plan or a strategy. I simply began sharing what I had already been writing privately in my journal—real thoughts, real healing, real lessons. Writing became obedience before it became a platform. The following year, I felt God push me again, this time to take those journal entries and blog posts and turn them into something more. I created my blog website, and then I heard Him clearly: Turn it into a book. That's how it happened. No rush. No comparison. Just trust. What I once thought was procrastination or delay, I now understand was preparation. God had been developing my voice, my faith, and my perspective all along. I wasn't late. I was becoming. Trusting my timing changed my path because it taught me that purpose unfolds when you stop ignoring the call and start walking in it. Success didn't come from forcing things; it came from finally saying yes.

Leaving a discourteous relationship required courage, planning, and self-compassion. For me, honoring my healing meant trusting my own timing and not rushing the process. Moving at my own pace protected my family and allowed me to build an authentic, empowered life. True success is found in showing up for yourself with courage, not in how quickly you move.
