The Journey to Fortifying My Life: Mending My Mind

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned—who am I kidding? Most of the time, things don’t go as planned. In my mind, I thought this journey would be easier. Shouldn’t my life be fortified by now? Yet, I keep running into roadblock after roadblock. We are only in the third month of the year, and already my family has been hit with a stomach bug, COVID, a sore throat virus, the flu, a cold, and now allergies are kicking back in. On top of that, my migraines, which I’ve suffered from for most of my life, are in full force.

Hello, you beautiful people! As I reflect on 2024, I’ve realized that somewhere along the way, I lost focus on myself. Between moving, caring for my family, and juggling countless other responsibilities, I forgot to prioritize my physical and mental well-being. So, in 2025, I’m making a change. This year, I’m committing to making myself a priority—to becoming healthier, stronger, more clear-headed, and most importantly, strengthening my relationship with the Lord. I’m excited to share my journey to Fortify my life through a multi-part series, and I hope you’ll follow along as I take my life to the next level.
