RECAP OF 2023

 MY 2023

My year can be summarised by the word “Reflection”.

I have spent most days reflecting on how I’ve lived my life and that’s partly why I started the blog, to put some thoughts down and lay them to rest. I dug through  most  things that have happened and situations that I’ve been in until I finally found myself. I finally saw me.

 Through the pile of dirt under the rug, the walls built and the shattered glasses, I found that I was in fact not alone. I never have been! I just never let him in. He always fought with me but he went beyond what I could’ve done for myself. He pursued me. He waited for me.He listened to me. He simply loves me. And I fell in love. Or should I say I grew in love. A safe love. A kind love. A sure love.

The kind that made me see myself. The kind that made me feel perfect with all imperfections. The kind that made me confident. The kind that allowed me to simply be. I found him but he was always right in front of me.

Do you let go of such  profound treasure?

I decided I want to be with him forever but love is a verb and it calls for action. Just like I knew he loved me by how he fought, stayed and consistently pursued me, I knew to be with him, I had to scrap of that which he did not condone. It wasn’t easy but he walks me through it everyday. 

I developed a relationship with him and I can’t believe he stayed. He saw my heart and he stayed.

Love changed my mindset. Took me back to when I was a child, trying to learn everything afresh. He has become my world. He softened my heart. He has given me the will to live and thrive and not from a point of scarcity but from a point of abundance. I met him, I welcomed him, He gave me grace and now I love him.

What a year it has been!
