My son has been sick for what feels like the 100th time this year. This round was probably the worst — a stomach bug, vomit all over our house (and us), multiple trips to the doctor. It was... pretty gross.

Now that he's finally feeling better, I’m sitting at my desk, trying to catch up on the work I missed or shuffled around — and honestly? I feel defeated. Worn down, once again, by life. It feels like if it’s not one thing, it’s always something else.

Hi, hello!

It’s been a hot minute.

Life lately? A total whirlwind—and I know I’m not the only one. Running a business (technically, more than one) while chasing a toddler is pure chaos. And let’s be real, the world around us isn’t exactly thriving either.

Things feel heavy right now, and that weight has been hitting my business, my motivation—honestly, every part of life. Some days, it feels like nothing will ever change. Other days, I remember that the only thing we can do is focus on what we can control, fight back, and find ways to love and support our communities.

So here’s me, making a commitment to my little corner of the world: to keep showing up. And if you’re feeling it too, maybe this will inspire you to do the same. You have a voice. You have something worth sharing.
