Monday - Humility (Holy Rosary)

Nineteen years. That’s how long I dedicated myself to the same company, working my way up from the bottom, adapting to multiple transitions, and embracing growth. I truly believed that despite the company’s restructuring phase, my role would remain secure. It never crossed my mind that I would be impacted.

But life has a way of humbling us when we least expect it.

In a blink of an eye, I found myself at a crossroads—reapply for a new position or step away completely. The weight of the decision hit me hard. Tears fell. Questions arose. But when the moment came to make my decision known, I lifted it up.

I spoke with my husband, seeking his insight and sharing my emotions. We prepared our kids, letting them know that life was about to change, and we needed to embrace it as a family. Was I bitter? No. Did I feel regret? Not at all. Instead, I leaned into faith and held onto this quote from

Catholic Quotes and Beyond:

“Pray, then let it go. Don’t try and manipulate or force the outcome. Just trust God to open the right doors at the right time. Amen.”

Then, as if divinely orchestrated, that very Sunday at Mass, our priest’s homily spoke directly to my heart:

“Change is something we must accept. With change comes a choice—to depart and let new opportunities seep through. If you close the door to opportunity, you will never know what could have, would have, or should have been. So what will your decision be?”

That was my confirmation. I chose to let go. I chose hope.

This transition has given me something irreplaceable—time with my family. More moments to witness my kids' growth, engage in deep conversations (even if we don’t always agree), and build stronger communication.

So here I am, embracing change, stepping into the unknown, and holding onto the belief that the best is yet to come.
