What the woman once thought was the most difficult thing in her life was leaving the home she had built, the home where she had raised her family. It was difficult, yes—but what came next proved even deeper: the healing. The true healing. The re-examining of everything that had happened, the patterns she had lived with, and the wounds she had carried, all to gain a new perspective and reclaim her life.

​

The Rock was still heavy. Its presence lingered, even in absence, and it took almost nine months of living in a basement with her dear friend, the friend’s husband, her mother, and their two dogs, just to sell her home and begin rebuilding. During that time, the woman was tested over and over. Trauma points rose to the surface, demanding awareness, reflection, and courage.

​

The universe, in its quiet wisdom, aligned everything in divine order, ensuring that she would finally learn the lessons she needed to never return to the place of suppression and fear. The path was long because the Rock had always tried to steamroll her at every turn.

​

During this season, it was healing, healing, and more healing. Days that were brief in reality felt like an eternity because the Rock continued to challenge her, forcing her to reprogram old patterns and learn a new way of speaking to and caring for herself. She did not do this alone. Friends and family offered unwavering support, and their love became a foundation upon which she could rise.

​

Even when the home finally sold, it took her a day or two to fully sink into the feeling of freedom. Emotions she had tucked away for years would bubble up, each needing to be met, felt, and released.

​

Now, the woman is finally moving into her own place—creating not just a house, but a home. A haven. A sanctuary. A healing space for all who enter, but most importantly for herself. This is the very first time in her life that the little girl, the woman, and now the fully free woman has ever ventured into a space that belongs entirely to her. A space where she is fully responsible for herself—and only herself. A space where her needs, desires, and decisions are honored without compromise.

​

This is both magical and terrifying at the same time. The future is unknown, but the woman knows one thing with absolute clarity: her freedom. And that is all she needs.

​

There is magic in it. Magic that has taken a lifetime to attain. The exhilaration, the relief, the sheer joy of standing fully in her own power—there are no words that can truly capture it. It is a feeling of possibility, of sovereignty, of finally breathing deeply in the sunlight without the shadow of the Rock pressing down.

​

In this space, fully out from under the Rock, she discovers what it truly means to live in her own comfort, her own self-love, and her own continued healing. Freedom is not merely the absence of weight—it is the presence of peace, the courage to honor herself fully, and the power to rebuild a life rooted in truth, love, and authenticity.

​

The woman stands now—radiant, fully alive, and fully herself. She knows, without question, that she will never allow the Rock to define her again.  I'm so proud and very excited to state again, that that woman is me!
