On my birthday last year, I decided this was it for me. I had lost some weight but I felt weak, not at my healthiest. So, during my time off of social (what I just did this past week - it’s a yearly thing), I reflected and promised myself that I would seek to become the healthiest, strongest version of myself. Not to be perfect, just to show up. It was tough at times.

And while there were moments where I didn’t want to, 365 days later I can say, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. There is no destination, it’s simply an ongoing journey that I’m excited to continue. So, here’s to another 12 months of honoring my body and treating it well. ❤️ ...

It’s always been about intentionality for me and for the first time ever (this may be hard to believe), I see how it threads throughout everything I do and all that I am. Truth be told - I’m not the person who takes photos or videos (even though my job depends on it).

I just want to live in the moment. I want to be present. But I realized that there’s also a thin line between being present and not capturing the memories. I guess I’m trying to find balance in all of it, because in the end, the pics and videos is all I’ll have. @badbunnypr said it best, I don’t want to wish, “I should have taken more photos.”❤️

P.S. @badbunnypr album literally has me in a chokehold. I’ve cried, laughed, felt nostalgic, and every other emotion you could possibly think of. I forgot how much great music can touch your soul and make you feel things you haven’t felt in a long time. ❤️ ...

I allowed these 12 clips to be the highlight reel of 2024 but just like in all our lives, we experience some low, lows. My mother’s 1 yr death anniversary and my beloved dog passing away were on the top of that list. I’ll always be the person that focuses on the positive but I’d be amiss if I didn’t share that life doesn’t always look this. I’ve had a rough couple of years so I’m hoping, just like I do every year, that this one gives me the strength, wisdom and health to see it through, and in doing so, I am mindful that life is experienced in the present moment - not looking back or anticipating what’s to come. Happy New Year my loves. Wishing you the very best.❤️ ...

My philosophy - a well-designed table is a visual celebration that sets the tone for any gathering.
