If only I’d understood the importance of a healthy mindset before my first relationship—or honestly, before navigating life in general.
As painful as it is to be in a relationship with someone who’s unhealed, traumatized, or lacking healthy coping skills, I now realize something: Had I learned this concept earlier, I might never have begun dating at all.
Holding Onto Faith
Despite the heartache and lessons learned, I still hold onto faith every single day. I believe there are healthy, handsome heroes out there, one perfectly picked just for me.
I know they exist because I’ve seen them—my brother is the greatest example of this. His strength, kindness, and grounded presence remind me that good men are real, and they’re worth waiting for.
A Wish for My Past
If I could go back and do one thing differently, it would be to truly grasp these lessons in my early 20s, before adopting my daughter.
I wish I’d realized the power of mindset and healing then, so I could have lived the life I now imagine—while she was still young and impressionable. Instead, I came to these realizations during her formative years, and hindsight often makes me wish I’d been able to offer her more from the start.
But as they say:
Hindsight is 20/20.
God’s timing, God’s plan.
Everything happens for a reason.
The Power of Thought
The truth is, the reason for so much of what we experience is this:
We either allowed it or envisioned it.
There’s incredible power in focused, repetitive thought—and even more power when a collective group holds the same intention.
We have the power to change everything.
It all comes down to choice. Every moment, every decision, every thought determines what’s next.
Choose Wisely
I hope you choose to hold thoughts that are:
- Happy
- Hopeful
- Healthy
Not just for yourself, but for your loved ones, your community, our country, and the entire world.
Pay attention to what you place after “I am” and “We are”—because those words carry extraordinary weight.
Fear can manifest what we dread most.
But faith? Faith can create the life we dream of.
You Have the Power
We all have the power to transform our lives by shifting our mindset and making intentional choices. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.
I love you.
And I hope you choose love, healing, and hope for yourself and others today.
