DAY 8 of 10 DAYS OF GRATITUDE

Grateful for: Everything In Between — Business, Purpose & Growth

Today, I’m grateful for everything in between.

Not just the big wins. Not just the lows that forced me to pray harder. But the “in between” seasons—the ones that felt blurry, transitional, and sometimes even confusing.

Those moments were more than just pauses. They were purpose incubators.

In those seasons, I found New Klingie Integrated Services—a cleaning and lifestyle brand that started with passion and now stands as a testimony to grit, grace, and God's direction.

Through this business, I didn’t just find something to do. I found something that creates value.
I found purpose in the work of my hands—in managing people, creating job opportunities, making homes cleaner and lives easier. It may look like “just cleaning,” but it’s ministry. It’s excellence. It’s service. And I’m grateful for every door it has opened.

I’m grateful for the career path I’ve walked, even when I didn't understand where it was going.
I’ve worn different hats. I’ve worked late hours. I’ve started over. I’ve made mistakes and gathered wisdom.

And right there, in the middle of it all, Talk With Idia was born.

This initiative started as a whisper in my heart—a desire to tell stories that matter, to give voice to the voiceless, to hold space for healing, laughter, reflection, and truth.
It’s more than content. It’s connection. And it keeps reminding me that my story—and yours—matters.

I’m grateful for the kind of growth that doesn’t make noise.

The kind that comes from doing the work behind the scenes.
From showing up when no one claps.
From sending proposals, missing deadlines, getting back up, learning new tools, asking for help, and keeping the faith.

The "in between" is where I became resilient.
It’s where I became resourceful.
It’s where I began to own my story with pride and gratitude.

Final Reflection:

Sometimes we glamorize the “arrival”—the big launch, the glowing feedback, the moment of recognition. But the real magic happens in the "in between."
That’s where character is built.
That’s where the roots go deep.
That’s where God is still writing.

So today, I pause to say:
Thank You, Lord.
For the messy middle.
For the unclear but unfolding path.
For business ideas, job opportunities, calling, growth and everything in between.
