Chapter 11: Finding my peace ✨

Hey bub,

How are you? I’m so sorry for missing last Sunday’s newsletter. I just got caught up during the week. These days I’m truly just living my life. I’ve never known life to be this relaxed and peaceful.

I spend a ton of time with Abby and my fam. I’ve slowed down my work significantly because I was getting to a point of burnout.

I’m excited to take a trip with my girls next month! We booked the tickets already and I can’t wait to explore with Abby and show her new things.

What’s On My Mind?💭

Can you believe it’s already June? Almost 6 months down, 6 to go!

I've recently been feeling so much better about myself and my days. Each day, I wake up and feel better, which is such a strange feeling because it has taken me two years to get here. Dealing with my pregnancy, separation, and grappling with motherhood all at once has been a long journey.

I feel strange even typing this, but I truly do feel happy. After searching for happiness and peace everywhere, I've realized that the only person who could bring this immense peace and joy to my heart is Jesus.

If you have been around for a while, you know that I grew up Christian. It might seem strange to some of you that I am now finding this unwavering peace and strength in Jesus. In all honesty, I forgot about God and to think that until now, I never had a real relationship with Him. Like most of us, I got carried away in my life and tried to control every outcome of every second.

I used to check off prayer as a task on my to-do list, but I never took the time to get to know Jesus. It's different when you are intentionally trying to have a relationship with God rather than just following rituals or doing certain things because you're expected to. That's what religion is.

Then, my brothers found God amidst their life's challenges, and it led to a domino effect, bringing all of us closer to God and, as a result, closer to each other.

Life has been so different in just 30 days. I no longer worry or think about the things that used to occupy all the space in my mind. Sundays have a new ritual with my entire family now, and we all feel closer to each other. My work is going amazingly well, but I've chosen to give it less power than before, and that means things flow a lot more easily now, all because of Him. I now have a moral compass and purpose with all my actions and thoughts, and I live every moment with the intent to be closer to Jesus.

If you're wondering if I miss any of the things—going out, drinking, excessive working, secular music, etc.—the answer is no. I don't miss anything. I just feel so much lighter like this. I only allow people, habits, and things into my life that have purpose and intent, and it has allowed me to live each moment fully.💕'

A Meal I Enjoyed this Week🍕

I visited Mag St Bandra and loved the food there!

The Burmese curry and Sichuan pepper chicken are so comforting. I know I will be ordering them plenty in the coming weeks. Highly recommend the Spanish latte if you enjoy condensed milk based coffee’s. ☕️
