I lived in London for a short time from 2019 to 2020, but then moved back to Germany due to the pandemic. It was in Germany that I fell in love with my husband. After six months of dating, he proposed, and I knew I wanted to marry him. Due to COVID-19 regulations and my limited residency status at the time, I had to return to England after one year in Germany, where I moved into a shared flat. My husband and I had a long-distance relationship, and I was incredibly grateful for it.

We got married in 2022 and celebrated two weddings, one in April and the other in July. Shortly after the July wedding, I found out I was pregnant. We had only one attempt, and I became pregnant right away. The same week we were packing our moving boxes and planning to relocate to England, my visa was denied. I had deregistered myself from Germany and had to go back to England, while my husband stayed in Germany. During that time, I was alone in England for eight months, and the situation was complicated by my lack of insurance in Germany, which prevented me from traveling.

Sadly, during that period, both of my grandmothers passed away. Our daughter was born in March 2023 under very difficult circumstances, and we almost lost her. Around her birth, and again six months later, my father passed away. In between these events, we bought a house and fully renovated it.

What I want to convey with this story is my gratitude for these circumstances, as they have shaped me into the person I am today. I am thankful that I manifested my family here in England, in London. I worked so hard for this and waited so long for my dream to come true. The universe presented me with many challenges, but I am incredibly thankful. Through the sudden and devastating loss of my father, I found myself in a deep hole. However, through breath and bodywork, I discovered my calling, and for that, I am grateful.

I cherish my family and all the lessons and blessings I have drawn from my experiences. For every moment I get to spend with them, whether it’s just hearing my daughter breathe as she sleeps next to me while I journal at night, or even when she has a tantrum. I am grateful for it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am especially grateful for my husband, who is an amazing man and does so much for me. Without his support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am thankful that I was clear and specific about what I wanted, and that I never gave up. I remain grateful.

If someone were to ask me whether I would go through that time again, I would relive it exactly the same way, with every moment of pain and every moment of joy, which often lie so close together because they brought me to where I am now. Those experiences have profoundly shaped my life and changed my perspective. I am truly grateful because I know the universe hears me, I know the universe is good to me, and I know that many things are possible, that all things are possible. So, thank you, thank you, thank you.
