1,908 Days later…
How will I know?
1,908 days ago.
That was the title.
That was the question.
Less than a week later, my world, from a business perspective, would feel as if it were falling apart.
Thinking about all the shifts I didn’t see coming,
all the moments that stretched me, refined me, and changed me.
What I thought was stability shifted.
What I thought I understood… I didn’t.
What I thought I needed… changed.
How will I know?
Before the silence. Before becoming. I asked that question,
not realizing… I already knew.
Not logically.
Not strategically.
Not in a way I could explain to anyone else.
BY FAITH.
As I sit today, celebrating five years of Maven Esthetics 2.0, I understand this:
Faith doesn’t always come with language.
Sometimes it comes as a knowing that interrupts your plans,
a clarity that doesn’t match your circumstances,
a conviction that stands on nothing visible.
Looking back now, I can see it clearly.
Every decision I made that didn’t make sense on paper…
Every moment I chose alignment over comfort…
Every time I moved without fully understanding…
I knew.
Not because I had proof.
But because I had faith.
And that’s the part that can feel unsettling.
Because faith doesn’t remove the unknown.
It just makes you move anyway.
So when everything changed…
When life required me to step into a version of myself I hadn’t fully met yet…
When I could no longer rely on what I could see…
I wasn’t lost.
I was being led.
I just didn’t recognize it yet.
How will I know?
You won’t always know in a way that you can explain.
But you will know in a way that you can’t ignore.
And now, on the other side of what I couldn’t name then,
I understand this:
Faith doesn’t come after the evidence.
Faith is the evidence.
So no…
I didn’t figure it out.
I followed it.
That’s how you know.
Five years later, I’m standing in what I once questioned.
Not because I had all the answers—
But because I kept moving,
even when I didn’t.
Cheers to five years of Maven Esthetics® 2.0.
And to many, many, many more to come.
From ME® to you.
