Thank you dear Blessing. I am a fierce fan..keep sharing, keep writing- I’m reading eagerly. My crucifixion and resurrection happened at 30, 6.5 years later, I should also consider opening up some pages of my diary to the world.

I think that access to The Pivot Diaries is the best thing to have happened to me this year already.

I expected engaging and I'm not disappointed. Can't hardly wait!

I'm almost 37 now, and honestly, I struggle to remember exactly what I was doing at 33. What I do remember is being full of regrets and constantly questioning my purpose and God’s plan for my life. I had so many why questions during that season. I've grown a lot since then. I tried to “church” it away, Zumba it away, swim it away, eat it away—even tried to bury it in anger. But through it all, growth happened. This post was incredibly deep and inspiring. Thank you for sharing so vulnerably.

Hi Blessing

I've always been fascinated by you, your family, your story but right now? goshhh sold

You seem have lived THE LIFE so to speak especially as i'm just finding my feet at 39 but what's most fascinating about you is your courage. Each time i read your posts on IG or the time I binged your podcast in one day loool, I always find myself saying woooow I love your mind and courage to speak your truth

But this is also next level courage. Thank you for sharing your story
