Stepping into my 38th year of life!

February 12, 2025

I just want to THANK EVERYONE who took time out of their busy day on Tuesday to wish me a Happy Birthday. Your words, social media posts, text messages, emails and phone calls meant so much to me.

As I step into my 38th year of my life, I find myself reflecting on the journey that has brought me here—one filled with growth, resilience, and gratitude. This year, I already achieved something truly meaningful: I became a homeowner after more than 15 years of renting. For the first time, I have a space that is wholly mine, a place to build, dream, and simply be.

I once read, “Be wary of the company you keep, for they are a reflection of who you are, or who you want to be.” If that is true, then I am incredibly fortunate. My family and friends are my tribe. YOU keep me grounded, remind me to stay grateful, and lift me up when the weight of the world feels too heavy. Your love and support fuel my ambition and give me strength on the days I need it most.

My goals are simple yet profound. I want to continue being a constant presence in the lives of those I love. To build meaningful relationships and nurture connections that matter. To grow in my relationship with God. To show up and lend a hand when help is needed. To give grace. To smile more. And to laugh, really laugh, until I cry.

Thirty-eight is not just another year. It’s another step forward, another chance to grow, and another reason to be thankful. I welcome it with open arms, an open heart, and the faith that the best is yet to come. Here’s to chasing dreams, embracing every moment, and becoming the person I am meant to be. The journey continues, and I am ready.
