All tied up

It’s been a while.

I hadn’t planned to step away for so long, but as life often reminds us, sometimes we need to go quiet for a while to truly listen—both to the world around us and the one within. I’ve missed this space, and I’ve missed you.

The past months have been a mix of introspection, stillness, and yes—writing. Not the kind of writing that ends up neatly formatted in a blog post, but the raw, messy, soul-deep kind that slowly becomes a book. Or maybe more than one….

There’s something sacred about stepping away from the noise, away from constant updates and quick captions, to create something that asks more of me. Something that requires time, heart, and a lot of patience. Writing a book is less like building a house and more like growing a garden—you plant seeds, wait, prune, water, doubt, replant—and eventually, you begin to see what it’s becoming.

So, where have I been? In short: I’ve been writing. And wrestling. And rewriting. I’ve been letting stories stretch and settle. I’ve been exploring themes that scare me, excite me, and leave me with more questions than answers. I’ve been learning how to trust the slow process of creating something meaningful.

I won’t pretend it’s been easy. But it’s been necessary.

And now, I’m slowly returning—with new words to share, new lessons learned, and a deeper gratitude for the time it takes to make something honest.

If you’re still here, thank you. Truly. Your presence means more than I can say. I look forward to opening this space back up—sharing parts of this journey, inviting your thoughts, and reconnecting over the things that move us.

Ride the waves of uncertainty and change. The only thing certain in life is that there will be changes. Changes in something as simple as the weather and as drastic as divorce, death, or job loss. If we can learn to “ride the waves” during those uncertain times, we can grow from those moments when the tides rise over our heads. Use the moments when the low tides come in to catch your breath. Take each wave as it comes to you and go with it. Don’t let it engulf you or push you to the floor of the ocean. Rise above your circumstances and ride the waves!

You’re invited to an unforgettable evening of shopping, connection, and authenticity! Join us for an author book signing event where you’ll have the chance to meet the author, enjoy light appetizers and drinks, and get your copy personally signed.

Have you ever felt like you were being swept along life’s river at a fast pace, trying to resist the current? Have you ever felt the tide dragging you down? In those alarming moments, what were your thoughts? How were you going to escape the current and avoid drowning? Life, like a river, can overwhelm you and sometimes make you feel like you are being pulled in directions you don’t want to go. It can even make you feel like you are about to drown. When that’s happening, simply take a deep breath (don’t hold your breath, that’s different) and float. When you are in a relaxed position, you are more likely to go with the flow instead of fighting a current that is taking you in another direction.

Join us for a special afternoon of books, conversation, and boutique shopping! This unique author event brings together inspiration, creativity, and community—all in one beautiful setting.

Enjoy mimosas while browsing boutique favorites, then meet the author for a personal book signing and intimate discussion.

Come ready to mingle, shop, and celebrate storytelling in style. Bring a friend (or two!)—it’s sure to be a day filled with laughter, inspiration, and a touch of sparkle.

Peel away the societal expectations and external influences to embrace your inner rockstar! You are in control of your destiny and allowing what everyone thinks to define you or place you into a box is not living up to your full potential. Whatever your full potential is, do not let it be stifled by other people’s inability to see the true you. You make things happen. You push your limits. You step out of your comfort zone. You encourage other women to do the same and that is what makes you that ‘Fire in Your Soul’ Rockstar!
