One year.
365 days.
Not one that I haven’t thought about you.

January 20, 2025 will forever be the day you were set free, and the day darkness and grief took hold of me.

The day my heart shattered into a million pieces.
The day the hope we held onto so tightly was lost in an instant.
The day my faith was shaken to my core.

What a paradox that day, and this whole year, have been. All my emotions tangled up in one another. Never would I wish for you to suffer for one more minute to be back here, but the pain that came from not having you on Earth has been so much deeper than I could’ve ever imagined.

The darkness and heaviness took over for a long time and I gave up all purpose. I was angry with God for not following through with the miracle we all prayed for and expected. I was devastated that the Earth lost such a bright light, and we lost one of our people. It just didn’t seem fair, and I couldn’t understand.

I still don’t. But I’ve been able to accept that I never will. I won’t ever know the answers to all the questions I was desperately demanding from God. And I’ve learned that deep faith means not knowing and trusting anyway. It means reflecting and looking at things from a different perspective, and realizing that maybe the prayers sent up were actually answered, just not in the way we envisioned.

I believe you are more full of love, light, and peace than this world could’ve given you. And God knew, so he rewarded you with the freedom you deserved after all the determination, bravery, and faith you had throughout your years on Earth.

Fly free Min - you deserve nothing but the best

These are the moments we live for - little snapshots that make our hearts full 💓

I love nothing more than seeing my loved ones loving life.

I don’t have big, lofty goals for the upcoming year.
I’m not making a list of achievements or boxes to tick. I’m reflecting on what helps me feel the way I want to feel inside and in my life. This poem I wrote a few years ago still sums it up pretty well 🤍
You can find it in my book, “from cage to sky” (link in bio)

This year has taught me to ride the waves as they come, or you’ll drown underneath ♥️

Healing starts when I’m present.

When I stay rather than run,
when I feel rather than numb.

Peace comes with
acceptance and
unconditional love.

I practice.
I surrender.
To a power up above.
🤍

And then one day, you’ll see a rainbow among the clouds, bringing some color back into your world 🌈

The rainbow for me has been faith. Believing without seeing. Trusting without knowing. Yet, knowing deep in my heart there is a deep purpose. And maybe part of that is to bring me closer to God 🙏🏻

I’ve been more anxious than I ever have these past months. For most of my life, anxiety and mild depression have been a part of it, but when challenging experiences happen, I become less grounded and find it more difficult to cope. This past Thanksgiving weekend, I was really contemplative, and found myself realizing how much we take health for granted, especially those who have never experienced challenges with it. Without good health, whether it be mental, emotional, or physical, it’s so much harder to enjoy life. I’ve been watching several of my loved ones struggle with chronic health conditions for years, both physical and mental, one of whom I watched wither away and die at its hands.

I guess my message here is this: it’s easy to judge and think others are exaggerating or just being weak when they aren’t able to show up in the ways some are able, but I hope we can all try to understand that not everyone gets the chance to be without crippling pain, anxiety, depression, etc. If you are so fortunate, please know how blessed you are, and say a prayer of healing for the ones fighting hard to survive every day 🙏🏻💓
