There are moments in life when you feel like you’ve come back to yourself; where everything starts to align and you finally have the peace you’ve been seeking.
I have spent this Summer fully focused on setting the proper foundation for me and my son’s future. I’ve sat with God and reflected on my life these last two years. It all is finally coming to the moment I honestly didn’t think I’d get to.
July 26th I welcome the next chapter of my life, maybe the next book. A couple of months ago I fully accepted the decision that my life needed to move forward. I needed to change to better myself and my son’s future, and the environment I was in was not the place I could do this. In telling only a handful of people I began the apartment hunt. Through a mess of fear, uncertainty and the unknown I pushed through to find a place I could make my own.
Through an intense amount of prayer and doing the inner work, I found a new home and signed on the dotted line almost a couple of weeks into the hunt. I took the first step to laying down everything I was carrying from these last few years and giving it fully up to God, to be able to move forward. Closing out chapters and life books is never easy. It’s one of the scariest things anyone can do. Whether it’s a new career, a new city, or a new life journey; you are stretching yourself past your comfort zone. It is freaking terrifying! But it needs to be done, to be better, to grow, and to get to your goals.
So, this is me, preparing for my new home, a space of my own making and choosing. July 26,2024 will forever go down in the history books of Nathaly Bernard as a day of blessing; a day where a page was turned and she went forward in faith and acceptance. I have no idea what this new page will bring, but I am so excited. I’ll be navigating a new side of co-parenting and a new side of me.
I am so grateful for the people that have been there for me these past couple of years. Through texts, phone calls, letters, and gifts received, you all reminded me of the woman I was called to be. I truly don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have any of you.
For those of you who would love to send care packages or encouraging letters, which I love love love receiving handwritten letters, send me a message and I can share my new address. My friends requested I set up a registry so I am on Amazon for all the basic items we need. We’ve been blessed by someone who’s gifted us all the larger items we needed, so we have a couch, a bed for me, a bed for Bubs and an entertainment center to get started.
Here’s to a new door opening and everything that comes with it! đ
