In the spirit of rebirth, I’ve taken a bold step. A decade’s worth of personal revelations, awakenings, and introspections on this blog have been archived, allowing them to gently fade into the vast digital cosmos.
Yet, life’s beauty lies in renewal—the recognition that with each moment, we have the opportunity to begin again. As I embark on this new chapter of blogging, I intend to weave fresh stories. While echoes of past journeys will subtly influence my words, they will not take center stage. Only a few posts remain, predominantly on writing and select reflections from the past decade.
If you’ve journeyed alongside me, you may recall how FemmePowered was birthed in 2014 from the depths of personal trials—specifically, the shadows of domestic violence with my ex-husband. It stood as a beacon of resilience, providing a platform for others with similar stories and fostering a space for collective healing and empowerment. Through this, my writing became not only my refuge but also a source of hope for many.
Over time, FemmePowered evolved beyond my individual story into a community-centered platform. Our endeavors extended beyond the digital space, hosting events and fostering meaningful connections. It became a confluence of voices and experiences, a reminder that through our shared trials and triumphs, we are deeply interconnected.
As my life shifted and new opportunities unfolded, I took a blogging hiatus—not out of disinterest, but to be fully present for the unfolding of those moments. Much of my reflection remained within the private pages of my journal, yet I knew that when I returned, it would be with a refined vision and a deeper understanding of this platform’s potential.
Today, I find myself in a space where I no longer carry the weight of survival but instead embrace the fullness of life—where peace is not just a destination but a way of being. Love is steady, harmony is felt, and I can breathe deeply, unburdened by the past. The love I share with my husband is one of mutual respect and kindness, a reflection of the life I have intentionally built beyond past wounds. It speaks to the power of healing, the courage to embrace love that uplifts, and the beauty of stepping fully into a life shaped by choice, not circumstance.
FemmePowered was born in hardship, a response to survival and resilience. Writing as Sanctuary is born of renewal—a life reclaimed, love chosen with intention, and a deep desire to create from a place of peace rather than pain. Through healing, growth, and evolution, I stand transformed, grateful for the journey that led me here. My past no longer defines me—it informs me, reminding me of my resilience and the strength it takes to rebuild a life rooted in peace, love, and purpose. This platform is both a tribute to where I have been and a reflection of who I am now—honoring the past while embracing the limitless possibilities ahead.
So, welcome to Writing as Sanctuary, a space for shared exploration, self-reflection, transformation, and storytelling. Centered on the art of writing, this space feels like a homecoming—an invitation to share stories, both mine and yours, as we explore self-awareness, well-being, and our highest potential.
As I reflect on the experiences, lessons, and moments that have shaped me, I am equally eager to help illuminate your stories. Writing as Sanctuary is not just about my journey; it is a space that welcomes yours—a community that champions vulnerability, authenticity, and courage.
Together, we walk this path, flourishing in our truth.
May this space remind us that our words hold the power to heal, connect, and shape the lives we are meant to live.
