After hearing that paying off your debts closes the chapters that they're from, I paid off a debt I've had for 9 years. Let's see what chapters I'm closing 👀
2017 - the year I got that $8K debt for $3400 mags and tyres (obv maxed the card out)
More bad decisions to come...
2018 - the year I left one bad relationship for another, then took a holiday in Samoa. After Samoa, I fell pregnant, then asked God to take baby away, and miscarried before an organised termination
2019 - the year I started a new job as a property manager, and I started experiencing all kinds of abus3 from ex.
2020 - the year things got bad before they got good. Rented an apartment with ex, did first covid lock down with ex, abuse got worse, more damages...
Met an amazing life coach who helped me realise that I was born for MORE!
I chose to do more with my life, left my ex, left my apartment and left my job all in the same week!
2021 - met my husband at end of 2020. In 2021 he proposed 7 months after dating and we married 4 months after that!
2022 - this is the year I started making content and created the handle "That Rental Plug" which later turned into my property management business! I also found out I'm pregnant the same day this photo is taken.
2023 - this is the year I lost my firstborn baby 32 minutes after her birth. I also started my property management business as part of living life in her honour.
I got pregnant again later in the year, miscarried, renounced and repented for any agreement I made about not having children, then I fell pregnant again in the same month! I was pregnant twice in the same month!
2024 - my rainbow baby is born! 🥰😍
2025 - I turn 30 and take my family to Samoa. Last time I was here was 2018 and my life was falling apart. Now I'm pregnant with another baby and business beginning to thrive!
2026 - This year. I have my beautiful son.
The birth is not what I expected but it makes me realise that I have some fears from the past.
This is the year I want to close any tabs/chapters from the years before! I'm done carrying the fears from the past with me.
