In July 2024, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

And somewhere between treatments, waiting rooms,
and the hardest days I have ever known, I realized
something discouraging.

Nobody was putting hope in my mailbox.

I wished I'd gotten a letter: with Scripture, reminders 
that God saw me, that I still mattered, that
I could keep blooming even in the middle of the storm.

So I decided to create what I wished I had received.

My healing journey is still ongoing. And because of that, I've now come to a deeper understanding.I have to put myself first.

Not out of selfishness, but from obedience.
Because a woman who is running on empty cannot pour into anyone else.
Because God cannot fill a cup that never stops long enough to receive.
Because real healing requires intention,
rest, and the courage to prioritize what you really need.

So I created Blessed and Blooming Club,irst and
foremost to hold myself accountable. To show up
for my own soul every single month. To let God's
Word be the loudest voice in my life, even on the
days when fear tries to speak louder.

And then — because I know I am not the only one.
I opened the doors for you.

For every woman sitting anxiously in a waiting room right now.
For every woman who is worn down from needing to be strong for
everyone else.
For every woman who just needs one reminder that
she is seen, she is loved, and she is not finished
blooming.

Every month, I seal an envelope with my own hands,
pray over every single piece inside it, and send it
to your mailbox. It's full of faith, Scripture, and the
truth that God has not forgotten you.

You are not alone in this.
You can be Blessed and Blooming, even in the storm. 🌸
