Healing One Step at a Time: A Journey to Self-Discovery

This year, I've decided to take a step back and prioritize healing. For so long, I kept pushing forward, distracted by the noise of life, avoiding the heavy emotions and unresolved pain of my past. It’s a decision I realize I should have made years ago, but there’s a truth I had to face: I wasn't ready to confront what I had been through.

For a long time, I was living in a state of survival, not truly living or healing. I think a part of me didn’t believe I could heal, or perhaps I was afraid of what I would discover if I took the time to really face it all. But something shifted inside me, and now I’m finally ready. Little by little, I’ve started to confront my past—not with anger or shame, but with the courage to acknowledge the pain, the growth, and everything in between.

The process hasn’t been easy. There have been days when the weight of it all felt almost unbearable. Yet, with each step, I feel lighter. It’s like peeling back layers I’ve been hiding behind, allowing myself to breathe again and truly feel, instead of numbing myself with distractions.

The transformation I’m experiencing isn’t dramatic or instantaneous, but it’s real. I’m already noticing a change in myself—a growing sense of peace, a deeper love for who I am right now, flaws and all. I’m learning to be kind to myself, to give myself the space to heal at my own pace. I’m not rushing anymore. I’m giving myself permission to feel, to grow, and to forgive.

This journey of self-healing is something I should have embarked on sooner, but I’ve realized that it’s never too late to start. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress. Taking time for myself this year is a huge step forward, and I can already see the benefits. I am learning to love myself more deeply than I ever thought possible. And even though the road ahead may still have its challenges, I’m ready for whatever comes next. After all, I am worth this effort.

If you’re on a similar path, know that you’re not alone. Healing takes time, and it's okay to take it one step at a time. The change you’re seeking is already within you—sometimes, it just needs a little space to bloom.

Even tho I have been kicked into the dirt yet again by people that I have trusted to be true to their word and with my issues and telling them what I did need, when they just kept ignoring me knowing full well that I have ASKED FOR HELP and never getting it I'm the one cast out, I'm the one in the wrong. How many different ways or how many times do you have to ask/say it ? They knew from Day 1 when they met me that I needed help getting in with a therapist and that I needed help getting to get medical set up right and could have helped me, but no let's sleep all day and ignore not their own mental and health issues but that of the kids and I as well.  How many times do you have to repeat yourself before you just stop asking cause it never gets done anyway ? People wonder why I have trust issues ... its cause of crap like this, tell me one thing and do something else.

Ooooof

By the time this Sunday is done, I’ll be sitting at 52+ hours worked, with 26 of those hours fought tooth and nail between Friday and Sunday morning while Mother Nature decided to remind us who’s boss. This weather is brutal. Cold that cuts to the bone. Darkness that settles deep. The kind of conditions that test your grit and your heart. And I showed up anyway. Not because I had to. Not because it was comfortable. But because I believe in leading from the front. Because a good manager doesn’t hide when things get hard;   she plants her feet, squares her shoulders, and says “I’ve got this.” I will never ask my people to face something I won’t face myself. But I also know the truth that sits heavy on my heart. While I’m out there, my husband and my boys are carrying worry I wish I could take from them. Worry about my health. Worry about power outages. Worry about me standing alone in a dark store, out in the middle of nowhere, overnight, one woman holding the line while the world s...
