Healing is boring.
Unleash the plot twist, darling.
Burn the script and dance.

Spring Break Day 1: Nature said “log off, loser.”
No WiFi. Just tree branches judging me and a sunset that doesn’t care about my inbox. Cheers from the Great Smoky Mountains

Spring Break used to mean questionable decisions. Now? It’s all about watching my kid destroy a plate of Gus’ World Famous Fried Chicken like it’s his life’s calling. Extra crispy, extra spicy, and extra iconic. Now I’m just making sure he doesn’t spill mac & cheese on his campaign jacket.

Another year older, still no clue what I’m doing, but hell at least there’s cake. Cheers to surviving, thriving (?), and pretending to have it all together. 🥂

Jack is 10 tomorrow, which means I’ve spent a decade figuring things out one day at a time. Turns out, none of it comes with a manual. If the years have taught me anything, it is that growth isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about showing up & embracing the mess. Happy birthday Jack! love you

Dr. King once said, ‘Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.’ As the world feels divided, I remind myself to approach others with love and compassion. It’s not about tolerating hate, but about honoring equality and preserving my own peace. #GrowthWithGrit #MLKDay

Chicago, you sly romantic. You slap “love” on a wall and make it art, even when it’s surrounded by peeling paint and weird vent placement. Guess it’s true—love really does thrive in unexpected places.

Sometimes you need a little tough love to grow – even if it comes from a sassy shrub. Stop, reset, and bloom forward.

Changing the world isn’t about having the loudest opinion, it’s about living like you mean it.
