Sometimes Pressing Pause Is Healing

  One of the greatest lessons I've learned on this healing journey is that healing isn't always about moving constantly. Sometimes it's about knowing when to stop. I recently had to pause my 365 Days of Healing series because of a critical family emergency. Out of respect for my loved ones and their privacy, I won't be sharing the details. I simply ask for your prayers and understanding during this time. At first, I wanted to push through. I wanted to keep creating, encouraging, and showing up every day. But I realized something important: I cannot pour into others when my own mind, heart, and body need rest. For many of us, especially those who have lived in survival mode, we believe stopping means failing. We feel guilty for resting. We think we have to keep going no matter what. But that's not what healing is about.

Childhood Games To Purpose - Full Circle


 

As a young girl, I loved playing house—but my favorite games were always “store,” “teacher,” and “doctor.” I didn’t know then, but it seems I was rehearsing for my real life.

At 12 or 13, I got my first taste of entrepreneurship, selling Kudos candy bars at school thanks to my aunt. It felt natural—like something inside me already knew how to build, serve, and share. Teaching came natural too. I’ve always had a heart for sharing what I’ve learned, planting seeds in others. And the healer in me? Still present. I often receive insights—spiritual remedies and visions—that I research and find real benefits like medicine.

It’s amazing to realize that the games I played as a child were never just pretend—they were glimpses of my calling. These roles still shape who I am today. Playing store as I create products and have an online store , teacher as I heal I share what I am learning or have learned sometimes sharing my thoughts on the topic in a way that provokes thought, and doctor wasn’t random because to this day I still get inspired remedies and medicines—it was purpose peeking through.

It appears that what we’re drawn to as children can be clues to our future. Our childhood joy might just be the earliest whispers of who we’re meant to become.

What did you love to play as a child?
In what ways do those early interests still live in you today?
Reflect on how your childhood imagination revealed your natural gifts or purpose.
