Tonight, I share with you a fraction of my heart. A small part of my beautiful home, the sanctuary, is complete. (just a tiny part but a very special one that means a lot to me)
.
As the chandelier went up this evening, I wasn't even conscious of the tears rolling down my cheeks. And when I did, I quickly wiped them off because I didn't want to leave the contractor wondering (lol). I waited for them to leave and rested for a bit. When the skies turned dark, I switched the lights back on and stood here, embracing every bit of what you're looking at now.
.
Months of hardwork, focus, dedication and consistency led me to where I am today. Nothing was easy or for 'free'. It was pure effort. I worked round-the-clock so that I can get more funds for myself, to continue the renovation works and I still am. Some works are on hold because I don't have enough money to go on. I've had sleepless nights just worrying about the sanctuary. I'm not special. I'm just like you. I work hard for I want and sometimes I breakdown in fear of the unknown.
.
But when I stood here, looking at this completed piece, I remembered that I had in me. I still do. The power to create. The power to believe. My heart is full. This is just a small part of the sanctuary, but it means the world to me now because whenever I feel like I can't go on, this place will remind me why I can. And I will.

love & light,
