When Life Hits You Hard… But You Keep Going Anyway
Hey fam, I’ve been pretty quiet/not around lately, and I just wanted to drop in with some honesty and heart. Life has hit me hard these past few months.I bought a new home (a blessing, yes—but we were immediately faced with severe flooding), and just when I thought we were getting back on track, I was hit with an unimaginable loss: my beautiful baby brother suddenly passed away last month. This loss is shaking me to my core. I’ve been grieving deeply—while still being a mom of 5, a wife, a leader, and a woman trying to keep the pieces together. Truth is, I’ve felt out of business lately—not because I’ve lost the fire, but because life demanded I slow down and be human first. But here’s the thing: I’m still standing. I’m still here. I’m still committed to this path. And I’m learning not to judge myself in the process. Grief is teaching me about resilience, about surrender, about grace. And while I may be moving slower right now, I’m staying the course—heart open, mission intact. I’m sharing this not for sympathy, but for connection. Because I know I’m not the only one who’s been knocked down. And I also know how powerful it is when a community holds each other up. So if you’ve got a moment, drop a comment, send a little cheer, a photo of something that brings you joy, a joke, or share how you’ve kept going through your own hard seasons. I could use some encouragement right now—and I’ll be sure to return it when it’s your turn ❤️ With grit and grace, Deahna “Momma D”
