This Saturday, my little essay will be published in an anthology titled:

✨ Turning Points: Life’s Twists and Turns ✨

At first, I hesitated to share this. Maybe it’s imposter syndrome, or maybe I just didn’t want to feel like I was bragging. But the truth is, I’ve been working hard on my writing for the past couple of years—really hard.

I’ve often said that if you want to feel like your guts have spilled onto the floor and you’ve been tasked with picking them up piece by piece—become a writer. And you know what? I love every minute of it.

This is a big moment for me. My writing friends reminded me that I should be proud, and they’re right. My first published piece—the beginning of my author’s journey.

So here I am, celebrating this win. And if you needed a sign today… celebrate yours too. It’s okay. ❤️
