I am 40 today! 🎉 It’s been a week full of reflection, gratitude, and deep awareness of how much God has walked with me through every season—motherhood, marriage, homeschooling, and personal growth. I wanted to share some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way—many of them through mistakes, hard days, and God’s grace meeting me right in the middle of it all. Here’s what I know now: 
❤️ Vulnerability brings freedom 
🙏 Gratitude shifts everything 
🌱 Dreaming with God is always worth it
 📚 Simplicity brings peace
 💛 Health matters more than hustle
 🕊️ Forgiveness is a gift to yourself
 🌿 Being present is the real success These are the lessons that shaped me…and they’re still shaping me every day. Maybe you’re in a season of feeling stretched thin or uncertain. I hope these words remind you that your journey is shaping you—and you’re not alone. If any of these lessons resonate, I’d love to hear which one. 💛 We’re headed to St. Augustine 🌴and the Caribbean 🚢 to celebrate and enjoy some history and culture.
