Before I Rest: This Still Matters

I'm resting. But the work still whispers.

Mrs. Pinky’s Birthday Celebration: Help Us Raise $5,000 This July

Give $40 to change the world—one marriage, one mama, one mission at a time.

I’ve never celebrated my birthday like this. This is the first time it isn’t tangled in grief. My dad’s birthday was July 13. His anniversary with my mom was July 26. He’s gone now—and this July, I rise with purpose.

So, I’m honoring him the best way I know how:

By building Iconic Marriages into a healing house for families, widows, and warriors.

Here’s where your birthday seed goes:

• 🩺 Cancer Screenings: Colonoscopy, colposcopy, and mammogram—because these risks run deep in my bloodline

• 🤍 Caring for My Mom: She’s a widow still standing, and she deserves rest and remembrance

• 💛 Resources for Families: Faith-based coaching, content, and connection that rebuilds homes from the inside out

💸 Goal: $5,000 by July 31

🌟 Suggested Gift: $40 or more🎂 This birthday is for more than cake—it’s covenant.

Before I Rest: This Still Matters

Hey Iconic Family,

I didn’t send a full newsletter today because peace called louder than productivity. I am a one woman show. I have a lot coming up for my health and have to prioritize that in order to continue building what we are doing here. But before I rest, I wanted to share something I believe still carries power.

40 Days of Mrs. Pinky Thoughts: Day 1: I’m Still Here—Resilience Isn’t Always Loud

40 Days of Mrs. Pinky Thoughts: Day 2: When God is Quiet But I'm Not Crazy

Day 3: Grief Isn’t Backsliding — It’s Sacred Ground

Day 4: I Survived What Didn’t Serve Me

Day 5: My Yes Isn't for Sale Anymore

Day 6: The Day I Let the Platform Die to Save My Peace

I wrote these newsletters, of my 40 Days of Mrs. Pinky Thoughts, as a reflection for my birthday. This is the 1st year I have to celebrate without my dad whose birthday is also in July. I wrote these for anyone who’s been trying to hold it together, wondering if their quiet season means they’ve failed, they’re forgotten, or they are holding a lot in.

This season does not mean those things. It actually means you are healing. It means you are in the restoration chamber, not the rejection pile.

Thank you for every prayer, every reply, every like, share, share of Iconic Marriages. Thank you for every dollar. We are still building. We are just breathing today while we do it.

Mrs. Pinky
