You’re Not Behind… You’re Right on Time, Queen


Happy Day Reader!

It’s Saturday—and I just wanted to drop a little love in your inbox.

You ever look around and feel like everybody’s doing something? Traveling here, launching that, posting like life is a movie… and meanwhile, you're just trying to finish your coffee before it goes cold (again)?

Let me whisper this in your heart: You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re not missing anything that was meant for you.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause. Not hustle. Not compare. Not scroll ourselves into a spiral. Just breathe… and be. That’s enough.

Rest is holy. Laughter is healing. And joy? It’s not something we find out there—it’s something we choose, right here, in the middle of laundry piles, quiet mornings, and whatever this day brings.

If your Saturday looks like a cozy robe, grocery runs, or dancing to old-school jams while cleaning the house, you’re still living a full and beautiful life. Your pace is yours. Your growth is sacred. And your story is still being written by the One who knows exactly how it ends—with grace, strength, and so much beauty.

So go on, Reader, and show up as you today. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unshaken.

Because the world needs your light—not when you “get it all together,” but now. Just as you are.

With Love & Support,
Dr. Monica

Happy Day Reader! I’ve been sitting at my computer praying and honestly—feeling frustrated. Waiting on answers, trying to figure out the next steps, and wondering if I’m missing something. Sound familiar? If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain tired of things not going how you expected, I want to invite you to breathe for a moment. I wrote a blog and recorded a video (a while ago!) on dealing with frustrations—and listening to it again today reminded me I’m not alone. And...

Happy Day Reader! There’s something beautiful about our everyday moments—the ones nobody sees or claps for. The way we push through tired mornings, wipe our tears, and keep showing up even when the world isn’t watching. We don’t need a perfect post or polished caption to prove we’re living well. Real life is deeper than what shows up on a screen. Social media doesn’t show the full story—and that’s okay. The images we scroll through are often edited, filtered, and framed for applause. But...

Happy Day Reader! Let’s pause and celebrate something beautiful—our laugh lines. You know, those gentle creases around our eyes and mouths that show up when joy breaks through. They aren’t flaws. They’re living proof that we’ve smiled through sorrow, laughed during late-night conversations, and found reasons to rejoice, even when life tried to dim our light. Our laugh lines are proof that joy lives here. These lines tell the story of the joy we refused to let go of. They’re the marks of...
