Look at me. I’m the captain now.

💜 6 years to the day my life was changed forever…💜

I lost my mom, my go-to, my best friend, my teacher and so much more. But it wasn’t just me, it was many others who lost the incredible joy Helene Andrea Golieb brought to the world.

They say it never gets easier. It just gets different. And they are right. My mom would say smile, spread joy/happiness, and love with a positive mindset that is:

“Today I can do anything”

So today like everyday I’ll lean on your teachings and pure heart to do my best even though it’s with an abundance of sadness and loneliness these days.

💜I miss you mom💜

I spent the weekend bringing in the New Year visiting Jordan Matthew out in the country and Blue ridge mountains of Virginia.

A much needed reset of great energy, conversation, and views.

💜 Today I Can Do Anything 💜

Happy Birthday Mom. Today you’d be celebrating 65 and it’s hard to reckon with how time flies. Each year is a bit different yet it’s always the same feelings of how much I miss your hugs, support, calls, and outright love.

Thank you for always looking out and guiding me. I continue to strive to best showcase the qualities you shared with so many. Love, belief, support, care, generosity.

I love you always and forever and will continue to honor your legacy by practicing your favorite mindset while missing your dearly.

💜 Today I Can Do Anything 💜

5 years today my life was turned upside down. Something you never prepare for and an experience you can’t understand.

Not a day goes by, that I don’t think about or miss my mom. The brightest smile, the shining light, the absolute heartbeat for everyone who was lucky enough to share a connection.

Mom always said “Today I Can Do Anything” and everyday I try to live my life to honor her and all she taught me.

Smile, love, and be happy because life is shorter than you know and you don’t get any days back.

🙏🏻 I miss you mom 💜
