Mom has been doing so well, and this week in Savannah has felt like a gentle, beautiful pause for her.
I’ve had the privilege of witnessing her journey over the past few years. From where she was three years ago to where she is today, the growth has been incredible. I’ve seen such leaps and bounds, and I am so deeply proud of her—of her strength, her resilience, and everything she’s overcome in such a short time.
She went through major, life-altering surgery two years ago. We almost lost her. Truly. And having her here with us now feels like such a gift. I’ve always believed in God, but I believe even more now because I’ve seen Him at work—through the doctors, the surgeons, the nurses. I witnessed something bigger than chance. I almost saw my mom take her last breath, and you can’t just call that luck. It was something greater, something loving, something beyond all of us.
And now, look at her. She’s such a beautiful example of that grace—of something higher and stronger than we can fully understand.
There’s something about this place — the Spanish moss, the scent of magnolias, and the distant clip-clop of carriage horses — that invites you to slow down. It’s given her space to relax, enjoy people, and be surrounded by simple kindness. She’ll always be a Jersey girl at heart, but right now she’s wrapped in a bit of Southern grace, and it suits her.
Today was especially touching. Jonathan and Justin came by with flowers and vases they made themselves, and it truly brightened her day. Such a simple gesture meant so much.
We’re so grateful for the people we’ve met here and how they’ve made us feel at home.
It’s been a wonderful week for Mom, and I hope she has many more days like this — peaceful, joyful, and filled with love.

For the past several months, I’ve been working on this butterfly garden behind my house.

At the same time, I’ve also been walking through a very serious legal season in my life — and while some may wonder how those two things can exist together, for me they have been deeply connected.

Both have required patience.
Both have required discipline.
Both have required me to slow down, observe, document, reflect, and trust the process.

There have been moments when I’ve had to sit with difficult truths, unexpected discoveries, and a lot of emotion. Through it all, I’ve stayed grounded in what I know, what I’ve lived, and what I continue to document with care.

I know my truth.
I honor my truth.
And I continue to stand in it with grace.

This garden has helped me do that.

And these two trees — Serena and Oliver — have become a sacred part of my daily life. As I cleaned, manicured, planted, questioned, prayed, journaled, and created, they stood quietly beside me. They observed. They listened. They held space.

In this process, I have rediscovered something that feels bigger than just human life. Life breathes through the trees. It sings through the birds. It rises through the soil. It reminds us that we are not alone here — that the earth itself has a way of witnessing, comforting, and grounding us.

Serena and Oliver have become my anchors. My pillars. My quiet companions in a season of reflection, growth, patience, and truth.

Today, we honor them.

Today, we add more beauty around them.

And today, I am grateful for what they have helped me remember: truth has roots, and what is rooted cannot be easily moved. 🌿✨

❤️The best kind of afternoons are often the simplest ones.
After a busy morning filled with responsibilities and follow-through, I stepped away from work mode for a little while and went to visit my mother.
When I arrived, she greeted me with a bag of tomatoes and a cucumber she had just picked from her garden. Nothing fancy. Nothing extravagant. Just a mother’s love, wrapped in the fruits of her labor.
Standing there holding those vegetables, I was reminded that happiness often arrives in the smallest moments—a quiet visit, a shared conversation, and something grown by hand and given from the heart.
Today, that little bag from the garden meant more than she will ever know. ❤️

❤️I took Mom to Michael’s on Sunday for a scavenger hunt and cookie decorating class, and we had an absolute blast. 🤠🍪

This was the moment I proudly crowned her the Rodeo Queen of the Day. I picked out the hat and placed it on her head myself, telling her it matched her hair color perfectly. I insisted she wear it for the rest of the day, and she kindly obliged with a big smile.

That’s my rodeo girl. ❤️

Some people come into your life for a season.
And then there are the rare souls who walk beside you through the chapters of your life — quietly, faithfully, lovingly — never asking for recognition, only showing up again and again with grace.

For more than 36 years, Iris has been that kind of soul in my life.

She has been far more than my attorney or confidante. She has been a sister, a friend, a counselor, a protector, and at times, the steady hand helping guide me through some of the most important moments of my life and career.

There are very few people in this lifetime who are truly gifts from God. Iris, you and Lilo have been two of the greatest gifts in my life.

Thank you for every phone call answered, every moment of honesty, every ounce of love, loyalty, and care you’ve given me through the years.

I love you both very much.

I’m not going nowhere.

To all the ladies, customers, friends, and supporters who have stood with me, encouraged me, prayed for me, and reminded me of the love we built together over so many years — thank you.

This journey has not been easy, but I am still standing. Still believing. Still creating. Still fighting for my name, my work, my legacy, and the truth.

Your support means more to me than I can ever fully express.

The story is not over.

3 Decades Journaled: My Truth in Every Page.

Some stories are not remembered by the world the way we lived them.

That is why we write.

A journal becomes more than paper. It becomes proof of becoming — a quiet witness to the dreams, the work, the lessons, no the losses, and the strength it took to keep going.

This is a piece of my journey.

Tv I’m And if you’ve ever written your way through a season of life, I hope this reminds you that your story matters too.

What have your pages helped you remember?
