The last year has been intense. I keep thinking about that line from the book A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
In 2025, I drastically changed my financial situation, built a confidence in myself I’ve never had before, learned not just to love myself but to LIKE myself (yes there’s a huge difference), set new creative business goals, focused on finding peace and calm in my space, and learned to protect my energy.
But that did not come without incredibly heavy and dark moments. My children lost their father just before Christmas, old childhood trauma re-surfaced and was dealt with and many moments of: “Did I make the right choice” flooded my mind.
Ultimately, I learned to find peace and acceptance in all facets of life. I learned that happiness is an inside job. I learned that in those moments that you feel like you are drowning, there are very few people that will throw you a life-line. Those are YOUR PEOPLE!
*To my tribe: I love and adore you. Let’s keep building each other up and making memories.
*To my family: I’m here for you. Let’s stay strong together, keep celebrating our traditions, and be there for each other.
*To my bestest of friends: Thank you for being there when I needed you the most.
*To the world: Stop listening to the fear, the chaos, the programming. Turn off your phone, sit in silence, be present, find yourself, build a community, find your passion, find your tribe, be authentic, and raise your vibration.
No one else, not the government, not your church leaders, not the wealthy, not your therapist (although helpful) can find true peace and happiness for you. Nothing in life is a coincidence. If you don’t like what is happening in your life, family, community or work place….CHANGE IT!
You are the architect of your own life. What you choose to build is completely up to you. I know that not everyone was born with a healthy set of “house plans,” but EVERYTHING is changeable, fixable, modifiable and transformable.

Start with your mindset. That is how we change the world! 💛💛💛
