Then and Now: A Voice in Motion

If I had only known

**Then and Now: A Voice in Motion**

**Then…**

I wrote from the shadows.

From silence.

From the ache of being unseen.

My words were raw, unpolished,

But they carried truth.

I wrote about running.

About hiding.

About the fear of speaking.

I asked questions because I needed answers.

I was surviving.

I also wrote about change—

How it stirred in my spirit before it showed up in my life.

I didn’t always understand it,

But I knew to pay attention.

I knew something sacred was happening.

**Now…**

I write from clarity.

From healing.

From the sanctuary I’ve built with my own voice.

I still write about change—

But now I welcome it.

I see it as movement,

As progress,

As divine choreography.

I no longer run.

I walk with intention.

I speak with authority.

I write not just to survive,

But to guide.

My words are no longer just mine.

They are for the woman still hiding.

For the one who feels the shift

But doesn’t know what to do with it.

I am no longer afraid of change.

I am in motion.

I am becoming.

This is the anatomy of hiding.

This is the miracle of emergence.

This is the ministry of voice.

Join me!
