Embrace The Changes & Trials of Life

It’s Time To Reset was a women’s conference in Groton, CT. The purpose of this event was to help women reset their ways of thinking, both in their personal and social life. At the time of this event, I had just turned 49 and I am just blessed to have been invited to spread my message and share my story to help women embrace the changes & trials of life

It's Our Season of Transformation

“We have to learn to embrace change…How God is moving in each of our lives.” ~ K.I.M

I have a message to give each and everyone of you in your season. Our season! As women, it’s our season, but you all have an individual season for yourself to embrace. For years I remember being in a season of growth, being in a season of just living. Being in a season of just existing. Now I am in a season of thriving!

Accept & Embrace

How did I Come up with Accept & Embrace?

2 years ago when Covid hit, I came up with the idea of putting everything on paper from my childhood. I came from a background in which transparency was frowned upon. The truth had to be hidden to a degree. I once went into the shutdown but even in toxic relationships, God was moving in my life. People would tell me I need to share my story. They would say “Your life is a book!”.

I was rejected and abandoned by 2 biological parents I knew until i was 5. Both parents did not come back and get me. That was not normal and you can’t normalize something that’s not normal. I had to accept that foundation that was broken. Eventually, I had to accept and embrace that I too can have a healthy relationship where I am not always yearning to be accepted.

Finding Inner Peace

I used to be 5yr old girl who wondered if I could be a better child to please my parents. I wondered, maybe if I could be more quiet, if I don’t ask to go to the bathroom, If I don’t ask for seconds that maybe my mom would smile at me and show that she likes me.

I lived years of misery. I lived years running because I did not want to run into my biological mother who rejected me. She never checked on my kids. She never sent a gift or called. She never came back and got me. I do not remember receiving a single gift or birthday card since I was adopted. I wanted that validation and wondered what I can do to make her love me.

“There was nothing I can do but accept me. Love me. Let God transform me. To be free….Free to walk into his purpose and His plan for my life.”~ K.I.M

Life is All About Choices

I had to accept that I had the ability to choose. I had to accept also that I don’t need anyone to validate how I feel. I know my story. I know what I lived through. I know nights that I cried and I prayed. I know things that only me and God knows. I know my relationship with God. I know who I get up and talk to every morning. He wants us to be transparent, and to be courageous!

So I choose me and work at it every day. Is it easy? No! It’s a choice and I put it in action. It all started with me accepting & embracing and then ultimately trusting in the same God.
