This part of my healing journey felt like a full circle moment.
Tuesday, I shared about my divorce trial (the third one since filing) —how I walked into court ready for whatever the day would bring. We could have settled, or we could have proceeded to trial. Either way, I was grateful.
I was grateful for the amazing sleep I had the night before, filled with thought-provoking dreams.
Grateful for the serene feeling in my stomach and the peace that enveloped me.
It was God’s peace, because I had given it all to Him. But for me, it wasn’t a peace that surpassed understanding—I understood exactly why I felt at peace.
It was because I am at peace.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This two-year journey, from the moment I filed for divorce, has been one of intentional healing. I’ve felt it all, seen it all, and experienced it all. I’ve been in shock, then disappointment, as realities set in and layers of the past peeled away—sometimes with gut-wrenching sobs, sometimes with exhausted tears. I’ve shed and grieved an entire lifetime.
And yet, I am grateful for it all.
I wouldn’t change anything about the 18 years we were together. Or the 2 years navigating our divorce process. Every moment, every challenge, every joy taught me lessons I needed to learn. Some were beautiful, some were painful, but all of them shaped me. They made me who I am today.
And I love who I am today.
I love myself more and more every day, as I honor my worth, my self-care, and my growth.
I am enough.
I am worthy.
I am unapologetically me.
I can honestly say I feel like I’ve graduated Summa Cum Laude from this life course.
Coming full circle in my healing journey reminded me how much I’ve grown.
The hard work has been done. I am proud of how far I have come.
Tuesday was just about finding out when I would receive my certification.
Another delay occurred though…
Healing Journey: The Body Always Knows
Even though I was mentally and emotionally in a good space, Wednesday hit me differently. My body just crashed. It was as if, despite my inner peace, my body had been holding on to anticipation for this date, for this trial. And once it passed, the release was undeniable.
I listened to my body—I let myself rest, I allowed myself to just be. No pushing, no forcing, just being present with what my body needed. I vegetated, reflected, and processed.
Then, on Thursday, another release came. My period arrived—51 days late. With all the stress and hormonal shifts, I’ve experienced missed cycles before, but this time, it felt different. It felt like my body finally let go of everything it had been holding onto.
A full-body, full-mind, full-heart release.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Nine Years, A Full Circle Moment
A new trial date has been set—March 12th. Nine years to the day from when I said, “I do.”
Is it ironic or serendipitous? Maybe both. Or maybe, it’s simply the universe reminding me that everything happens in divine timing.
Nine years—the number of completion. A full-circle moment, closing a cycle that once defined me, but no longer does.
I’ve already moved forward. This is just the final signature on the paperwork.
And as I move ahead, I do so with intention, listening to my body, honoring my emotions, and trusting the process.

Life has called on me recently to release my past as a nursery school teacher and, with no guilt, know that I cannot go back. I need to keep moving forward. Thank you for sharing in your blog today
You’re most welcome, Melissa! I truly appreciate you sharing as well. 🤗
Life moves in seasons—we grow, we learn, and then we move forward. Just like winter clothes kept you warm and protected but aren’t needed in summer, some chapters serve their purpose and make space for new ones.
It’s okay to move on, and I’m grateful that you’ve embraced that for yourself—with grace and self-compassion. Trust that new doors and opportunities are already on their way. 🙏🏻✨
Definitely they are.
Thank you for sharing. You are an amazing Lady.

Thank you Martha M. ❤️🔥
