Thriving after a long while

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

 



I love meeting my old, young, true self here whenever I visit this sacred space online.

It's as if someone opened my faucet youth after years of drought and water doesn't just flows, it rushes. 

Before writing this, I just read the post before this. I said March was the month when the health scares stopped?

Guess what. It went downhill from there. 

JJ got hospitalized twice. J had another health scare. And so did I. 

But it turns out, we're all pretty okay. 

The panic and anxiety attacks last year were the worst. I finally beat them out. Through prayers and through talking to Eli. By learning biohacking. 

Ugh, the issues when you face as you age ain't fun. Or cute. They're life-threatening. 

And that's what triggers you to finally live. 

I remembered asking God, 

"Lord, can you make my husband stronger and happier?
"Lord, can you give me an intelligent child that can stand up for himself?
"Lord, can you make all of my family thrive?

And oh boy, God just answered my prayers, but only AFTER He has prepared us for the next-level blessing that's about to come pouring into our lives. 

As you've read. The past 2 years of our lives were a dark period. I never thought I was the type of lady to freak out and get anxiety attacks. 

2023 was the sunrise to all that.

  • My mom won the biggest deal of her life. And is buying her first car. Finally. (I once bought her a second hand car that was an epic fail). More deals to come to her, I pray.
  • Jezz was finally promoted and we're on track for another BIG purchase this month. 
  • JJ is going to nursery school, getting smarter and sassier as ever. 
  • For me, the panic attacks ARE all gone. In fact, I am thriving now. Like the flowers in the hero picture. 

I'm ready to go to the next level, but before I do. I just wanted this year to be a year for myself and family. I want to take things slow before putting on a business that I would truly enjoy. 

My word for this year is REAP, and it's not what you think. 

It's for me, for my family, to just live. Be happy. Enjoy each other.

We've been in surviving stage for decades and now that when we can finally breathe, we just want to take a moment to savor it all—the feeling of not having to worry, especially about financial woes. 

And this year is indeed a year of reaping!

We have lots of travel plans, family reunions, and family trips planned. I so wanted to do this ever since. I feel like this is the ultimate goal of everyone and that work and survival block this basic desire.

I don't wanna give in details, but I'll come back here often to write more about it. :) Yes, I'll write more for myself so I can feel like myself. 

What I can share with you in detail now is this.

I'm doing The Miracle Morning for Writers! But the kid is awake now. So I guess I'll save up this newly-found routine for a separate post.
