Changing the battery in my remote made me think about life. Sometimes, we all need to pause, recharge, and figure out what’s really draining our energy. What if AAA stood for Awareness, Accountability, and Action? This metaphor might be just what you need to reset and reconnect with what fuels you.

“Is ‘good’… good enough?”

That was the question that stopped me in my tracks.

For years, fear kept me stuck—fear of change, fear of the unknown. I told myself that good enough was fine. That I could make it work. But deep down, I knew the truth.

It’s more than a tattoo, it’s more than my dad’s handwriting, it’s more than a song. It’s all of the above AND a way of life.

A personal story about mental health and seeking therapy. Both of which by the way….are OK!

Let’s keep the conversations going, let’s keep sharing our stories and spreading awareness within our communities!!

“And remember, roadblocks aren’t permanent - don’t let disappointments make you give up on your dreams, heartbreak doesn’t mean you have to give up on people and don’t give up on yourself when you make mistakes. Hard times are here to teach us, create opportunity with those adversities.”

🎉 Reflecting on the past year, I've had a lot of emotions and adventures! Turning 46 brought a wave of "firsts" both personally and professionally. From trying new foods to embracing solo travel, I've pushed beyond my comfort zone and discovered the joy of new experiences and I've learned that life is about living it to the fullest, regardless of age. Here's to embracing the unknown, learning, and growing each day. As I eagerly anticipate year #47, I'm filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead! 🌟

As I sit here and think about this past year and how many changes there have been, I can’t help but think back to the start of the “20s”, 2020 to be exact…A year that was historically changing nonetheless but in general, I can’t help but reflect on how much life has changed, and how much I’ve learned from change. Can anyone else relate?
