Hi Friends,
I hope you are all well! How are we in March already?! I still vividly remember welcoming January and now we are in the third month of the year—wow! Time is truly flying by.
I want to thank you all for being on this journey with me over the past few months. If you have been reading my blog, you will remember that in January, I shared about my birthday, my time at university as well as my upcoming exams. Then, in February, I updated you on completing those exams and the emotions that came with them—uncertainty, reflection, but ultimately, victory as I passed!
Well, here is the big March update:
I have officially completed all the work for my program at university! I have submitted my final essay and wrapped up my portfolio. I AM DONE!
I remember submitting that last piece of work and feeling a wave of emotions—relief, joy and a deep sense of accomplishment. The past few months have been a whirlwind of focus, determination and hard work. My priority was finishing well, and now that I have, I find myself in a season of reflection.
As I look back on this journey, I realise just how much I have accomplished. Balancing university, motherhood, work as a pharmacist, being a wife and juggling so many other commitments—it has not been easy. But, by God’s grace, I made it through!
I am so full of gratitude and in complete awe of God’s goodness.
I often questioned why I was doing this, but time and time again, God reminded me of His faithfulness. Every time I felt overwhelmed, I prayed and He provided—whether that was through wisdom, strength, the right people or unexpected support.
I am incredibly grateful for my husband, kids, family, friends, colleagues, and the amazing relationships that God has placed in my life. Some friendships blossomed, and divine favour made a way where I thought there would be no way. Even when I doubted, God showed up, turning things around and making a way forward.
One of my biggest takeaways from this journey is the power of gratitude. I am also reminded that I am capable of so much more than I sometimes give myself credit for. Seeing other women—mothers, professionals and multitaskers like me, pursuing education or new ventures inspired me to keep pushing forward. Their stories encouraged me and now I hope my journey encourages you.
To any woman reading this—whether you are balancing multiple roles, considering a new project, starting adult education or stepping into an unfamiliar season—I want you to know: Just do it and You have got this! It may not always be easy, but trust yourself, trust the process, and most importantly, trust in God. Lean into your support system, take care of yourself, and keep going. You are more capable than you think.
I am so proud of myself for completing this chapter and I am beyond excited for what is next.
I will be sharing insights, tips and lessons from my experience, hoping to encourage and support others walking a similar path.
If this post resonates with you, I would love to hear from you!
Leave a comment, send me a message or connect with me on Instagram (@mrs_fash) — I even shared a short video reflecting on this season, so feel free to check it out!
Let us continue to uplift and inspire one another. We thrive together!
Stay tuned for what is next!
With all my love,
Esther xx
