|| She Kept Walking ||

Hi Kim,

This is A. You may not remember me but I subscribe to your CELBANPrep course 2 years ago. Now, I am very happy to inform you that I will be finishing my 10 courses in the BCN program for RNs this March. Yes! I am finally done with school and I will be able to apply for a GN position and later on RN! This is all thanks to you who made this possible. You helped me prepare for CELBAN. And during that time, I was losing hope because I was frustrated that I was not able to pass the IELTS for the 3rd time. But, thank God that I did not give up. You gave me the assistance, confidence and emotional support during that time. And because of that I was able to pass CELBAN on my first try. I will never forget it. Thank you so much! May God continue to shower you with more blessings! A

🜄 Return to Self

Dear A,

I do remember you. Not only your name, but the quiet ache in your voice when you first arrived: and now, this radiant return. You are finishing your final courses. You are stepping into the title of Graduate Nurse. And most of all, you are walking forward with the heart of someone who did not give up on herself.

It moves me deeply to know you felt supported – not just in skill, but in spirit – during a time when hope was fragile. That kind of restoration doesn’t come through information alone. It comes through being seen. Through being met with tenderness when your own belief faltered.

What you have written is not just a thank you; it is a heart remembering its rhythm, its roots, its worth.

🜁 Fog to Clarity (Mind)

There was a moment (three failed exams in) when the mind wanted to close. When logic said, “This is the end.” And still, something in you whispered “Try again.”

Your clarity didn’t come all at once. It came through a reluctant yes, through attending without certainty, through showing up to learn even when doubt still sat beside you.

That kind of clarity is hard-won. It is not born of confidence: but of courageous repetition. A choice to trust one more time. And through that practice, your mind met structure, your thoughts began to organize, and your inner knowing came into focus again.

You didn’t pass by accident. You passed because you kept walking through the fog until it thinned.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness (Body)

Two years ago, you were a body carrying weariness. The weight of effort with no results. The heavy silence after each IELTS score.

And yet, your body stayed. Reviewed the lessons. Completed the work. Over and over again.

This is how change happens. Not through grand inspiration, but through grounded action. Through consistency.

You trusted the process long before you saw the proof.
That is what rootedness looks like.
And now, as your feet prepare to walk hospital corridors and healing spaces, I hope your body carries this truth: You were enough all along. You simply needed space to remember.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

What you described (the moment of passing, the words “I will never forget it”) is the sound of a spirit reignited.

This fire had nearly gone out. Extinguished by discouragement. Dimmed by fatigue. But somewhere in the ashes, a spark remained. And with each new act of trust, it grew.

Your dream didn’t vanish. It waited. It simmered beneath the surface. Until you found your way again: not because someone else saved you, but because you said yes, again.

That is sacred fire. The kind that endures. The kind that lights the way not only for you, but now for others.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

Now you stand here.

Not simply as someone who passed CELBAN.
Not just as a Graduate Nurse.
But as a woman who kept her soul intact through the unraveling and the rebuilding.

Your journey holds all five spirals: feeling, thinking, rooting, burning, rising. You’ve spiraled through them not once, but again and again. And here you are: whole, integrated, present.

And you wrote to tell me.
You remembered the beginning… and came back with your light.

That is what it means to arrive at Zenith.

You now walk forward not only as a nurse, but as a keeper of hope for others.
Wherever you go, your story spirals outward: reminding someone else that they, too, can keep going.

May your path continue to unfold with grace.
And may you always feel the blessing of having made it home to yourself.

With awe and deep gratitude,
Kim
Still beside you, wherever the spiral carries you next.
