🌸 This has to be one of the most amazing tools. (A reminder before stepping into any task for the day) and the story behind the personal anthem🎶 A song that reminds… Of what was once a dream as a young girl. A dream that became a reality years later. A life that evolved into a journey. Lessons learned. Changes that emerged from those lessons Lived experience. And today, at 62, I look back and call it accumulated wisdom. Not something that can be replicated. Not something that can be taught from a formula. But something that was being shaped long before I even understood the dream. A story only one person can hold and go on to retell. An identity. All those stepping stones, fuelled by faith principles as guidance, are what built resilience along the way and shaped the woman I face in the mirror today. ☝️ And this is what now fuels the decisions stepping into my next chapter. 🙏 Thank you @Surina Joubert for AVA and the design that led to the creation of my 🎵 Personal Anthem A reminder of who I am, where I've come from and the woman I'm choosing to become. 👇 https://suno.com/s/lS3izD8U0JddA6E9 For the women stepping into their next chapter... You don't need to add more, YOU already hold enough - and a beautiful starting point to begin with💛

I did not expect what happened in these 7 days. It can be called a shift I suppose, but somehow it feels like so much more. I have always my whole life said.... Tell me WHY, make me understand...... I couldn't for the life of me understand what was holding me back, every excuse or reason was so not me, it didn't make sense at all. It turned out that it was more about understanding WHY. It is a massive relief and a mountain off my shoulders and now that I can see it clearly.... For the first time maybe I can honestly say : I stand tall, take action and create my freedom. I am humbled and touched by everyone's journey these 7 days. And I feel a whole lot less alone. Thank you for those who shared their 7 days.

I have no words. I am just taking a moment to stand still and take all of this in.

For six days the pattern chose for you. It decided who you'd be, what you'd risk, how small you'd stay — and it did it in the dark, before you ever got a say. Today you take the pen back. That's the difference between Day 5 and today. Day 5 was meeting the version of you that was already in there. Day 7 is choosing that version — out loud, on purpose, as a decision and not a wish. Nobody becomes anyone by accident. You become who you decide to be, over and over, especially on the days it's hard. Three questions, and each is a line you draw on purpose. Who do you choose to be now? Not "becoming," not "trying to be" — choose. Present tense, decided. Watch your own verbs: if you catch yourself writing "I'm starting to..." or "I hope to...", stop and change it to "I am" and "I choose." The tense is the whole point. You're not auditioning anymore. You've got the part. What pattern are you leaving behind? Name it, specifically. The exact old move — the proving, the hiding, the waiting until you feel ready, the staying small dressed up as humility. You can't set down what you won't name, so say it plainly: this is what I'm done carrying. And what result are you committed to creating? Not hoping for. Committed to. A hope is something you'd like to happen to you; a commitment is something you've decided to cause. Make it specific enough that you'd know whether you did it. One thing before you close, and it's the most important thing I'll say all week:👉 this is not the finish line. The pattern you just named won't vanish because you graduated. It'll go quiet for a while, and then one ordinary day it'll knock again — right before something visible, something that matters. When it does, that is not failure, and it is not you back at the start. It's the exact moment all seven days were for. You feel the old pull, and you choose differently anyway. That's not the work breaking. That is the work. So here's how you lock it in. When you finish Day 7, and you've done this process with AVA, she gives you your seventh line, then hands you all seven lines from the week in order. Save them. Screenshot them, write them down, keep them where you'll find them — because those seven lines are the raw material for the final piece: your Identity Anthem.

Not a perfect life. A life where I start every day with God, protect my time, plan my days, love my family well, work with purpose, make room for creativity, and no longer believe I have to exhaust myself to prove my worth. I am choosing this woman, one day at a time.
