I don't know about you, but I can't believe the end of May will soon be here.

It feels like we welcomed the first of the month just yesterday—a new beginning filled with exciting intentions, fresh energy, and goals we hoped to fulfill.

But as the days pass and life unfolds, not everything always goes as planned. Sometimes, the routines shift, priorities change, and goals are left waiting.

Has this ever happened to you before?

If so, you’re not alone—this has been my reality too.

As I've been enjoying walks in the park, soaking in the warmth of the sun on my face and admiring the blossoming flowers, I've been noticing more bees lately—perhaps even more so with World Bee Day approaching on May 20. 🌍

Sunday, May 11th, was Mother's Day, and it held many emotions. 💗 

I know women who spent this day wrapped in joy—enjoying breakfast in bed, reading sweet notes written in crayons, or soaking up extra hugs as the kids say, "I love you, Mom."

There comes a quiet moment in nearly every woman's life when she looks in the mirror and doesn't quite recognize the woman staring back.

 The features look familiar from the outside, but inside, that inner spark feels dim — like something vibrant is fading away.🔥

Lately, I’ve been feeling something new stirring.

Not a loud shift, but something gentler—like a whisper beneath the surface.
A sense that I’m in the middle of something taking shape, growing… becoming. 

I'm not quite where I was… yet not where I’m going.

It’s the time of year when mainstream culture celebrates the sweetness and playfulness of Easter—a blend of historic traditions, seasonal folklore, and present-day trends—with the Easter bunny, pastel-colored everything, chocolate eggs wrapped in foil 🍫, beautiful decorations on mantles, and fresh flowers starting to bloom 🌷.

I don’t know about you, but for me, it feels like there’s a certain kind of magic that stirs this time of year. The light starts lingering a little longer. The breeze feels softer. And something inside of us begins to stretch awake (especially after a long winter’s rest.)

This past week, I felt a creative spark rising in my soul—an energy within me that wanted to move, flow, and express. ✨ But instead of acting on it, I noticed myself hesitating. I’d feel the urge to create and have fun… and then quietly dismiss it, letting doubts and distractions take the lead.

The magic of spring is in full bloom, which tends to have a way of making everything feel possible.

The air is buzzing with fresh energy, the world is waking up, and suddenly, there's a spark to dream bigger and start fresh. But sometimes, this doesn't always happen for us—and that's okay! 

Today, I want to honor someone who embodies resilience and grit, shows up consistently, and inspires every day:✨ Lewis Howes—podcast host, keynote speaker, and a New York Times best-selling author.

Spring is stirring, and there is magic in the air. ✨ Can you feel it?

 Ostara—also known as the Spring Equinox—arrives on March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere, ushering in a beautiful season of growth, renewal, and possibility.

 The days become longer, the air hums with vibrant anticipation, and the earth awakens with new energy. Beneath the surface, seeds stir—trusting their time to bloom. 🌸

This month, the world takes a moment to honor women, with March 8 officially recognized as International Women's Day.

But this day is not just about women.

✨ It’s about all of us.

✨ It’s about a new era of leadership, courage, and truth.

✨ It’s about the fire that lives within each of us—waiting to be unleashed.

We all want to live long, healthy, vibrant lives, yet so much of the conversation around longevity focuses on the latest health regimens—such as what to eat 🥗 or how to exercise 🏋️‍♀️. And while these things matter, they’re only part of the story.

Today, I went for coffee with my younger self.

She was 25. She walked in like a storm. Fast. Precise. Unstoppable. ⚡️

Her ochre suit hugged her frame perfectly, her brown-heeled boots clicking sharply against the pavement. Her long, wild hair spilled over her shoulders—chestnut, kissed by golden streaks, catching the light with every step. Her nails, impossibly long, shimmered with glitter over a perfect French manicure. Because even on the hardest days, she had to shine. 

Valentine’s Day was on Friday, and love was in the air, wasn’t it? 💕 We took the time to celebrate the people we adore—our partners, children, parents, and friends. We wrote heartfelt notes, sent sweet texts, gave thoughtful gifts, and shared moments of gratitude. We poured love into those around us.

Sometimes the smallest among us can teach us the biggest lessons.

My 5-year-old daughter stood at the edge of freezing turquoise waters in the Bahamas, her little toes curling into the sand, hesitating—shivering from both fear and excitement. She looked at me, eyes wide, seeking reassurance, unsure if she should take the leap. 🌊

It happens to all of us. We’re scrolling, watching, and witnessing fellow humans achieve something extraordinary—significant milestones, personal breakthroughs, career advancements, creative triumphs, financial wins, distinguished accolades, and moments in the spotlight—and suddenly, we feel behind. 😞

Sadness can settle deep into the corners of our hearts, often feeling heavy and overwhelming.

Over the years, I've felt it in many forms—through personal heartbreak, the exhaustion of carrying too much, moments of disconnection, and even the deep ache of witnessing the pain in the world.

I see you; I’ve been where you are.

I understand what it’s like to feel confined. It’s as if you're limited in life, unable to expand or step forward while the world moves around you. Deep within your heart, an ache makes you question everything—your light, direction, purpose, and even your worth.  

As the year begins, it’s natural to reflect on the moments that shaped us—the uplifting wins, the meaningful experiences, and the lessons learned.

Yet, for many of us, reflection also brings a familiar heaviness: regret.
