THE AUTHOR

You can call me Libby — some people also know me as Betty. I’ve been living in the UK since December 2016, a move that changed my life in ways I never expected.

I work in hospitality as a Housekeeper / Room attendant in London, UK. It’s quite, physical work — the kind that gives you time to think, reflect, and pray while your hands are busy and your heart is processing life.

When I first arrived in the UK, my life did not begin peacefully. It began in chaos, shaped by a painful marriage, complicated family in-laws dynamics, and emotional struggles that forced me to confront parts of myself I had long buried. Those years were not easy, and some of the wounds they left behind took time to name, let alone heal.

This space was born from that journey.

I write to share experiences, lessons, and reflections — not because I have everything figured out, but because healing often begins when we tell the truth gently. I write for those moments when life feels heavy, confusing, or quietly painful. I write because reflection helped me survive when I felt lost.

Pain and loss have shaped my voice. I have known grief, guilt, and the slow work of forgiveness — both toward others and toward myself. There were seasons when survival was all I knew how to do. Over time, that survival became awareness, and awareness slowly became healing.
