โจ Chapter 1 ๐ฟ
The Vivid Verse Blog Series ๐ธ๐
โ๏ธ The first light of morning always came softly here. It spilled in through the sheer curtains like liquid gold, stretching itself across the small living room before reaching the kitchen. She stood barefoot ๐ฆถ on the cool tiles, coffee โ warming her hands, as the hum of a new day began to stir beyond the townhouse walls ๐ก.This was the home she had prayed for ๐ โ not because it was grand, but because it was hers. The kind of space that carried the scent of her childrenโs laughter ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ and the quiet hum of her dreams โจ.
Here, in this corner of Weltevreden Park ๐, she had stitched together a life from threads that once felt too frayed to hold. She had been many women before this one ๐น. The girl who gave too much โค๏ธ. The woman who worked herself to the bone ๐ผ for the approval of people who never truly saw her ๐. The mother who fought battles in silence ๐คซ so her children wouldnโt have to feel the weight of them ๐ก. And now โ the creator ๐จ, the entrepreneur ๐ก, the woman who had decided she would never again dim her light ๐ to make anyone else comfortable. The world saw her as strong ๐ช. And she was. But strength wasnโt always born from confidence; sometimes it was forged in the fire ๐ฅ of having no choice.
Faith had been her anchor โ. It had carried her through the seasons when her heart felt too heavy ๐ and her hope too small ๐ฑ. She had learned to lean on God โ๏ธ not just in desperation, but in gratitude ๐.She thought of the businesses she was building โ The Vivid Verse, The Talent Verse ๐๐ผ โ not as mere ventures, but as living extensions of herself ๐ฟ. Her words, her work, her vision ๐, all out there in the world like seeds waiting for the rain ๐ง. She could almost feel Decemberโs six-figure goal ๐ฐ in her hands, though the path ahead was still full of unknowns ๐ค.Love ๐ was more complicated. It had moments of sweetness ๐ฏ that felt like they could change the air around her ๐ฌ. And moments that pressed against her chest like shadows ๐. She knew now that her heart โค๏ธ deserved a place where it was cherished ๐, not questioned โ.
She wasnโt willing to bargain with her worth ๐.She took a sip of coffee โ, the steam curling upward โ๏ธ, and smiled ๐ to herself. The day ahead was full ๐ โ meetings, calls ๐, a blog draft to finish โ๏ธ, ideas spilling faster than she could catch them ๐. But she felt grounded ๐ณ. Not because life was perfect โจ, but because she was finally living it on her own terms ๐. And somewhere deep inside ๐ซ, she whispered the words that had become her quiet mantra:๐ I will not shrink. I will not dim.
This is my vivid verse โ and I am still writing it. โ๏ธ๐
