Gentle and composed
What was the best compliment you’ve received?
“You are very gentle and composed, miss,” is a new compliment I’ve been receiving recently. As someone who has struggled with a short temper, I’m constantly reminded to be calm and gentle in my words. I’ve been diligently working on it for quite some time, and I believe that God is answering my prayers, as evidenced by this compliment. It serves as proof that I am indeed becoming more composed than before.

Solace in moments of laughter
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I find solace in moments of solitary laughter, accompanied by the melodies of music. In those moments, I offer prayers to dispel any lingering negativity. Engaging in household chores or tending to my garden serves as a welcomed distraction, allowing me to immerse myself in tasks that soothe the mind. Today, I experienced a similar wave of emotions and indulged in a room makeover, a delightful endeavor indeed.

Failure the toughest teacher
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
The saying goes, “Failure is the stepping stone to success,” but I seem to have encountered numerous stepping stones without achieving success in life. The stepping stones aren’t really significant, maybe lol. I hope to take a more substantial leap towards the success I am seeking very soon.

Amazing people helped me to be a unique version of ME.
What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
That experience ( I’d prefer not to say) almost led me astray, making me doubt myself and question my worth. In those moments, I found myself belittling not only my capabilities but also becoming toxic to those around me. It’s challenging to fathom how a strong-headed woman can transform into such a person within a year. Nevertheless, I am grateful for the loved ones who provided space, allowed me to grow, prayed for me, and guided me towards becoming a better version of myself through those life experiences. I owe it all to Jesus for placing such wonderful and amazing people in my life. I am actively working on becoming a better version of myself.
