Welcome to “Come Sit By Me”! It’s our chance to catch up on the little things I’d share with you this week if we could chat on the porch over coffee (or wine depending on the time of day).
Life Lately in a Nutshell.
This past week marked one year since my divorce was finalized—an anniversary I never imagined I’d be having, much less be sharing with you. But instead of quietly letting it pass, I decided to mark it with something that felt more like a celebration of growth than grief. I posted a quick reel on Instagram—it’s still about my blog content, but also a peek at what it’s taken to just keep going this past year. Life, work, healing… I’m still moving, still showing up, and still incredibly passionate about this little business.
There were so many sweet comments that deeply tourched me. They reminded me of why I love doing this, and how much love and support there is out there when times are hard—even from people I’ve never met!💗
If you missed it, you can watch it here:
I also had dinner with a few friends, not really to celebrate, but to take in how far life has come for me since that day. I’m writing a new chapter, a new life, and a new version of me every day… it will be interesting to take stock of where I am again this time next year.🤔
