The Inspiration behind "Believe You Can"

It's raining, It's pouring, It's thunder storming.... 

January 1st, 2022 was the date I was given to let go of my previous business name and rebrand...I was devastated. When I had attempted to finally trademark my business name, I found out another business had just beat me to the punch and I was given a cease and desist letter (meaning you need to pull the plug on everything). I felt a lot of things, regret for not having trademarked sooner, embarrassed about the reason I would need to rebrand and deeply sad that I had to pivot away from a name I held close to my heart. I wondered several times if I should just call it a wrap, be thankful for the 5 year run my business had and move on to something else. But I decided to stick it out and commit to the rebrand. I was 5 months pregnant at the time with our second child (my little pumpkin), so it was a bit of a juggling act to focus and complete the rebrand while being pregnant, chasing around a toddler and overall just trying to stay encouraged.

May 8th, 2022 (Mother's Day) our little pumpkin was born! I've had a couple miscarriages in the past, so making it to this day filled me with great job but also great relief. All was well as we spent those sleepless nights back in newborn mode while also learning what it felt like to be a family of 4. One week later, our baby girl spiked a fever and was admitted to the children's hospital. We were there for 6 days...filled with uncertainty (as the doctor's couldn't find the cause of her fever) and with broken hearts as our 1 week old had to undergo major tests, pricks and pokes and all the tubes. We were emotionally exhausted. When I was still pregnant we had gotten a double stroller as a gift and I hadn't gotten a chance to use it yet. I remember telling my husband that all I wanted to do, was go home and take my two babies for a walk in our double stroller. Thankfully by day 6 her fever had resolved, and though we never found out the cause, we were glad to go home.

June 17th, 2022 my dad passed away. It was my brother and my husbands birthday coincidentally as well. I was able to see my dad the night before he passed. He had been in and out of the hospital for awhile, so I went to visit him but certainly didn't think it would be for the last time. This was it, the point at which I was utterly and completely done. Have you ever felt like the wind was just knocked out of you? That every emotional and mental fiber you had was drained? I was so emotionally drained, I almost felt numb. This was the point when I thought to myself, I just don't know if I can do this...I don't know how to do this. I didn't know how I could possibly make it through another one of life's blows and punches. I prayed, tried to recall scripture for encouragement, and that's all I felt I could do. 

I had to believe that things would be okay, more importantly, that I would be okay. I thought back to all of the impossibly difficult situations that I experienced over the years, that seemed hopeless at the time but somehow turned out okay. I tried to remember who it was that gave me strength, and tried to remember that I'm never alone. It's a daily process, but my endeavor is to do exactly that- just take it day by day.

My hope for you:

No matter what obstacle you may be facing, my hope for you is that you won't give up. Take a moment to recall all that you've done, accomplished, triumphed, and healed from...whatever the obstacle is now, it's no different. Simply begin by believing you can.

  • Many people have written articles about how they were helped but I am very grateful to this great man who brought my ex-husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Jennifer Sanchez. When I came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him helping with a cure for Herpes Virus and I have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life to win the lottery. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent of two boys for almost 6 years and though my ex-husband was not staying with me and the kids I still wish someday he will return to me. This doctor I encountered is known as Dr. Odunga helped me with my wishes and I am happy to write on this website that my ex-husband is back with me. I am very happy to share the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don’t know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but I always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex or facing an infertility problem, contact this great man at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp/Call +2348167159012 and share an awesome testimony too just as I did

    Everyone deserves a happy relationship, this Love spell caster make me and family feel a lot better again. A big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me.. I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to Dr. Excellent that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress. You can also contact him for help. Here his contact.
