|| Learning Beside the Crayons ||

Dear Kim,

I finally finished doing the assignment. I timed myself and I was not able to make the 30 minutes required time for this task. I am always not successful when it comes to timing. I actually started doing the task 2 days ago. You know I am a full time mom and I cannot do this task when my little toddler is around. I tried doing this task using pen and paper but he keeps on grabbing my pen and crumpling the paper. When I am in front of the computer, he would put his hand on the keyboard and will start typing. That is why I ended up submitting the assignment too late or not submitting at all. Sorry for that and I look forward to see your comments or corrections on my assignment. I am really eager to learn from you.

Sincerely, Mary

Dear Mary,

Your message touched me deeply.

In your words, I hear the fierce devotion of a mother, the quiet ache of wanting to learn, and the honest fatigue that comes when both exist at the same time. Thank you for not waiting until the “perfect moment” to write. You wrote from where you are… and that is more than enough.

Let’s honor your journey one spiral at a time.

🜄 Return to Self

It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to ask for grace. It’s okay to try again.

You are not late; you are living.

Each line you wrote is a love letter to your own becoming. Not just as a nurse, but as a human navigating a very full season of life. You are already practicing a kind of heart-led persistence that no assignment could ever fully measure.

You are not behind. You are here. And here is a sacred place to be.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

Not everything has to happen all at once.

Timing is not failure; it is feedback. When you noticed that 30 minutes wasn’t enough, you didn’t give up. You returned. You adapted. That is intelligent learning. That is nervous system-aware pacing.

Maybe your rhythm, right now, is ten-minute windows. Or writing beside crumbs and crayons. Or typing one sentence at a time. That is not “less.” That is how clarity begins… in the small and honest spaces where life is truly lived.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

Your body is your classroom. Your baby is your companion. Your life is the curriculum.

I see you… writing with a toddler reaching for your keyboard, crumpling your papers, climbing into your lap. That is not a distraction. That is your reality. That is the shape of your learning space right now.

And it is valid.

There is no shame in needing more time. There is no shame in missing a deadline. You are mothering. You are learning. You are doing the sacred work of becoming: tired hands and all.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

The fire does not go out just because the room is loud.

Even when your toddler is pulling at your focus, something in you still says: I want to grow. I want to become. That flicker is holy. Hold it gently. It does not need to roar; it only needs to stay lit.

Your message tells me you are still reaching. That is more than enough to begin again.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

You are not just preparing for an exam; you are preparing for a life that holds both purpose and presence.

This is not only about CELBAN. This is about becoming the kind of nurse who brings her whole self into the room: heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul. And you are already practicing that wholeness now.

You don’t need to compartmentalize your motherhood, your learning, your exhaustion, and your hope. They all belong. They all walk with you. And in your becoming, they are all invited.

I am here – not to judge, not to push – but to witness. To walk beside you. To remind you that there is space for this kind of learning.

You are not alone, Mary. And you never were.

With deep respect,
Kim
