|| The Moment She Said Yes ||

Kim,

 first I would like to thank you for great help of me as you have sent me the study guides. this gave me the idea of what I can expect in the exam,

 the  2 nd thing is that 2 weeks ago I came to know that I have to clear CELBAN exam for entrance to bridging programme for IEN. at that time I started to look for resources. so it was you who guided me. but 1 week go I came to know that the test is ICELBAN.  so because of your guidance I did it and got admission.

thank u so much again for your kind help.

🜄 Return to Self

Dear R,

There is a quiet kind of courage in the way you spoke: not only of what you needed, but also of what you found.

I imagine the moment you first heard that CELBAN was a requirement… the swirl of uncertainty, the heartbeat quickening. And then: you chose to search. To reach out. To begin.

This is the tender bravery of the heart:
To keep moving forward, even before all the pieces are clear.
To allow guidance in, even when you’re not sure what comes next.

You may not have realized it, but what you did was return to yourself.
You listened. You responded.
And something in you said: I still want this.

That whisper mattered.
It always does

🜁 Fog to Clarity

There was confusion, of course.
First CELBAN… then iCELBAN.
The acronyms shift, the policies change, the timelines tighten.

And yet, your mind stayed open. Receptive. Willing to reorganize around the new information.

This is the true meaning of clarity: not having all the answers from the beginning, but trusting yourself to orient when the path reshapes beneath you.

You used what was available. You adapted. You found structure inside the unknown.

That is the strength of an IEN’s mind:
Not just educated, but resilient.
Not just sharp, but spacious.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

Sometimes, we forget to pause and feel what the body just endured.

From realizing the urgency of a required exam…
To studying with focus and fatigue…
To navigating systems not designed for ease…
To showing up… anyway.

That is not a small thing. That is a whole-body triumph.

Let your breath land fully now.
Let your shoulders drop.
You moved through that storm.

You carried the weight of preparation and the hope of admission in your own hands.
And you did not falter.

Your body already knows what it means to care deeply. Now, it also knows what it means to be steady through transition.

You are not behind.
You are becoming.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

You called what I offered “guidance,” and I receive that with reverence.

But R, the fire that moved you forward: that was yours.

You took the flame and followed it into action. You trusted the warmth of something unfamiliar, and let it illuminate what felt impossible just weeks before.

This is not just about exam readiness.
This is about spirit.
The part of you that didn’t let discouragement decide your path.
The part of you that heard “you need to clear CELBAN” and said: okay, I will try.

The part of you that chose hope.

That part is alive and well.
And it will carry you further than you know.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

Here you are now: on the other side of that initial uncertainty.
You made the attempt. You passed the ICELBAN.
You got admitted into the bridging program.

And with that, you have stepped into a wider circle…
Not only of possibility,
But of belonging.

This moment isn’t just about success.
It is about coherence.
Your mind, heart, body, and spirit… each responded when it mattered most.

That is what it means to stand at your centre.
To arrive.
Not because you rushed…
But because you remembered who you are.

A nurse.
A learner.
A soul in motion.

Thank you, R, for allowing me to be a witness to your unfolding.
And thank you for trusting the path: long before it was lit.

With deep care,
Kim
Still beside you.
