Really had to sit and think of the positives for Q1 and there were many!
• I have years of the best selfies with my good sis a_wise nothing like being around friends you’ve known since elementary 💞
• JAN | Disney. Yes, we took our pre-teen-toddler. Yes he enjoyed it (he was not messing with the carousel tho 😆) the live music, shows, parades and Mickey sightings were everything to him!
• AI is getting outta hand. 🤖 ✋🏽
• FEB | really began consistently working out and eating healthy. Celebrated another year of Washington DC Hair + Makeup
• 10k steps a day. Hot mom walks. W/e you wanna call it. It’s made a tremendous impact for me.
• MAR | Smilin’ through it. Sunshine ☀️. squeezed in some time with friends new and old despite there never being enough time for everything and everyone and always being late 😞 oh and GoodBrows™ is the brow queen 👸🏽 I never have to fill in my brows now 😍

Thankful for the moments and the people 💛✨

This year gifted me harmony and balance.

Even as a first-time working mother heading back into the world postpartum, juggling multiple hats and priorities—PEACE found my thoughts.

I never knew this level of peace could exist in the midst of so much uncertainty in the world. I shoulda-coulda-woulda lost my mind a long time ago then… I choose THIS peace.

This compassion, this assurance. This deep understanding of why I exist daily embedded with just one look or thought of my little family. PEACE.

This level of “get somebody else to do it”. PEACE!

This joy and laughter at what I used to think a “hard long day” was. HA!… and peace!

For the first time in a long time, it was clear: the fruits of decades of hard work and sacrifice awarded me grace to move slower and more selective. PEACE!

No more giving my absolute last for a measly amount, zero recognition or appreciation that ended up being more costly to my wellbeing. PEACE (of mind)

I was exactly where I was supposed to be, 365 days straight. What was once FOMO is now guarded with “will this one thing tip the scale of your time and energy?” PEACE

And so I pray to continue this evolution—meeting myself where tf I’m at.

To honor the sweetness of slower moments.

2026, I’m walking into you lighter. More intentional.

Loving what’s staring back at me.

All love, always.

An ode to 2025: For the first time in a long time, at my BIG age, this year gifted me harmony and balance. Even as a first-time working mother heading back into the world postpartum, juggling multiple hats and priorities—PEACE found my thoughts and heart.

I never knew this level of peace could exist in the midst of so much uncertainty in the world. I should’ve/could’ve lost my mind a long time ago then… I choose this peace.

This compassion, this assurance. This deep understanding of why I exist daily embedded with just one look or thought of my little family. PEACE.

This level of “get somebody else to do it”. PEACE!

This laughter at what I used to think a “hard day” was. JOY!… and peace!

For the first time in a long time, it was clear: the fruits of decades of hard work and sacrifice awarded me grace to move slower and more selective. PEACE!

No more giving my absolute last for a measly amount (or zero recognition or gratitude) that ended up being more costly to my wellbeing. PEACE (of mind)!
