“When you’re ready to bloom” is inspired by the ongoing journey of growth. The trials and tribulations. The failures, let-downs, and the quiet moments in between. It’s about the still moments, but something deep within you is beginning to shift. The heartbreaks, loss, and the forever love that takes its place. It’s about the chapters that don’t get shared. It’s about shedding old versions of yourself and fighting to understand who you’re becoming without the comfort of who you used to be. It’s about sitting in the uncomfortable without fear, but with the courage to continue to grow through the pain. To have the strength to show up for yourself even when your destination is unclear. It’s about trusting the process without knowing the outcome, but believing beautiful things will bloom in their divine time.
There’s no deadline for becoming, only seasons. There’s no true destination, only the journey. It’s forever unfolding who you are and becoming softer, stronger, and more aligned than before. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to bloom, you don’t even need to be ready, you just need to be present. It’s about honoring every step, every decision, and every version of yourself, even the messy ones. Blooming is not a single moment; it’s a way of living, a state of mind, and it starts the moment you choose yourself.
I was given a digital version to read from the author herself and when I began to read, not previously knowing the structure of the book or what it would be about beforehand, you get this vibe from the pages as if it were written between the words to say to the person she is writing to and excerpts of words written to herself. Perhaps that was only my perception but that aside, you can tell with the way she writes, the words are coming from someone who has truly bloomed. There is clarity in her words, authority in her voice to proclaim that her past wounds no longer control. That is amazing in itself.
No matter what stage that you are in your healing, this book will resonate with the words you NEED to hear or will simply solidify the person you are becoming. A personal favorite of mine is on page 29, "Life After Loss, Life After Them."
One nice thing about the book is that you can choose to read it in order or choose which titles to read on your own based on your own journey. I also love that it is not just words on pages. It is a mix of realizations, honesty, raw emotion and even poetry filled throughout.
I anticipated a quick read and I found myself going back to pages that resonated with me - LOVE ISN'T SUPPOSED to RUIN YOU and REAL LOVE IS LEARNING that LETTING GO IS SOMETIMES THE GREATEST ACTS OF LOVE expressed what I was feeling and couldn’t explain at the time. The author’s own experiences are woven throughout the book. This was new to me, but it helped to make the book authentic and relatable. A great collection for anyone on a healing journey. Thank you
Another great read by this author, this was truly needed. It feels extremely personal and makes the reader feel seen. This feels like a book that so many people can relate to at some point. The authors voice reads genuine and strong, gives a sense of comfort. These were the words that needed to be read, to be felt, to be heard.
Beautiful book, personal as if the author was writing the book for you but also many lessons that felt personal to me and the author, almost like a conversation . It was insightful and a self help book I would recommend to those who need kind words to help them develop and understand themselves on a deeper level ✨ thank you for sharing this
This is a truly beautiful read full of so many gems and profound words of wisdom. This book will stay with me for a long time and I know I will come back to it again and again. I love the way it is written and the emphasis on being truly authentic as you bloom really shone through and resonated deeply with me!!
When you are ready to bloom is a gem. From the first page to the last, each page was very soothing, I especially loved reading the chapter on Letting go is love too and Being Genuine is enough
One thing I learned from reading this book is to accept my feelings, I used to think being strong is denying my feeling and pretending I wasn't hurt but now I know better.
