been a while since I made the decision to step away. In
that time, I’ve sat with silence, leaned into stillness, and learned
to trust the unfolding of life. Every PAUSE, every quiet
moment, was never about stepping away; it was about
stepping deeper into myself, realigning, and returning with
even more clarity and purpose.
The greatest challenge in my silence was not the silence itself,
but the COURAGE to stay in it. To trust that I would be okay,
to believe that every sunrise was an invitation to begin again.
For the first time in my 50s, I put myself first, not out of
selfishness, but out of a profound realisation that the one true
certainty in life is myself. If I want to leave my mark on this
world, I must honour who I am, fiercely and unapologetically.
And so must you!
You are the one constant in your life. Take care of yourself in
every place, every moment, in front of everyone. Never shrink,
never lose yourself, for no one is worth that sacrifice. Your
purpose, passion, and your very essence deserve to be nurtured.
