A Christmas That Changes You: Lessons From the Tree of Life

Image
  "The Christmas Tree That Changed My Perspective " As we step into the beautiful season of Christmas, I’ve been reflecting deeply on what this time truly means—especially as the year gently comes to a close. Christmas has always been about the birth of our Lord Jesus: new hope, new life, and new beginnings. That is what I grew up believing, and that truth still sits firmly in my heart. But this year, something stirred within me. I realised there is so much more surrounding Christmas that we rarely pause to understand. We follow traditions without knowing their meaning. We repeat rituals simply because “that’s how it’s always been.” We decorate, we celebrate, yet sometimes we forget to feel and understand. And then I asked myself… Why do we often wait until the end of the year to be kind, loving, reflective, or renewed? Why do we spend months being someone we were never meant to be, instead of living as our true, God-given selves? These past months have been a journey of unle...

When Life Feels Heavy: Understanding Emotional Numbness and Emptiness

Image
  When Life Feels Heavy         There are days when life feels too heavy to carry. "My mind feels blank. I feel lost. Sadness creeps in and loneliness follows. I start to wonder if I even belong here. No one seems to want or need me for the right reasons. I lose the sense of touch, feel, and love. Everything inside feels empty. I stop wanting to interact with people because I’m not sure who’s being real or fake. It feels like the world sees me as undeserving — like things come easily to everyone else but not to me. I’m trying my best to keep up, but deep down, I don’t know when I might give up. Sometimes, I just want to be locked away in a box and disappear for a while."           If you’ve ever felt something like this, please know — you are not alone. Understanding Emotional Numbness and Emptiness 🌧️ What Is Emotional Numbness? Emotional numbness is when you stop feeling things deeply — both joy and pain. It’s like your heart goes qui...

You Are Not Alone: A Letter to Every Mother Who Has Loved and Lost

Image
               You Are Not Alone: A Letter to Every Mother Who Has Loved and Lost I waited ten years to hear the words, “You’re pregnant.” Ten years of hoping, praying, dreaming. When I finally saw those two lines, my world lit up. At last, I was going to be a mum. At last, the day I had prayed for had come. The first scan — a little foetus. My heart swelled. The second scan — a heartbeat. Oh, the joy. I could have carried the sound with me forever. Then came the third scan — and my world broke. No movement. No heartbeat. A silence so heavy it crushed me. I can’t describe the feeling of knowing that I would never hear that tiny heartbeat again. My heart sank deep into a darkness I didn’t know existed. Doubts began to creep in. Did I do something wrong? Did God decide I was a bad mother and take my baby away? Was I not deserving of this precious gift? The pain was more than sadness. It was anger. It was hatred. It was confusion. It was feeling betr...

The Weight Of Being Taken For Granted

Image
The Weight of Being Taken for Granted Have you ever felt like no matter how much love, time, and effort you give, it’s never enough?  That people expect you to always be there for them, yet when you need them, they disappear?  Being taken for granted is one of the most painful experiences—it makes you feel invisible, unappreciated, and exhausted. I’ve felt this so many times. I’ve given my all, only to realize that some people never valued it. I’ve been ignored, disrespected, used, and even blamed for things that weren’t my fault. It took me a long time to understand that being a good person doesn’t mean letting people walk all over me. And if you’re feeling this way, I want you to know—you don’t have to live like this. So, let’s talk about what this really feels like, and more importantly, how to overcome it. 1. The Pain of Being Ignored You send a message. No reply. You try to speak, but people talk over you. You make plans, but they keep getting canceled. Slowly, you start ...

God’s Masterpiece: The Strength of a Woman and the Power of Sisterhood

  God’s Masterpiece: The Strength of a Woman and the Power of Sisterhood The Silent Question We All Ask *Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered—Why am I not enough? *Why do I feel guilty when I put myself first? *Why does the world expect me to always give, but never take? *Why am I told that my worth lies in how well I serve others and not in who I truly am? As women, we carry an invisible weight—the weight of expectations, the burden of sacrifice, the fear of not being enough. We are taught from childhood to be caregivers, nurturers, and givers, yet no one teaches us to care for ourselves. And when we do, guilt whispers in our ears. "Isn’t that selfish?" The Blueprint Society Handed Us From the moment we are born, our paths are drawn out for us— *Be the good daughter. *Study, but don’t dream too big. *Get married, be a perfect wife. *Have children, sacrifice everything for them. *Take care of the home, look after everyone else. Lose yourself in the process. If we d...
