New Chapter


It’s been awhile, but no, I haven’t forgotten about this space. I’ve had a lot I’ve wanted to write over the last year and a half, but it never felt like the appropriate time or place. In many ways, the last couple years of my life have been a chapter I did not want to figuratively read, let alone invite someone else to literally read.

It’s no secret to those close to me that I’ve had a remarkably tough couple years. I half-jokingly tell myself maybe one day I’ll write about it in my future memoir...when I’m removed from the dust and able to extract the lessons clearly.

For now, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you, to the people in my life who have stood beside me, cheered me on, and even pulled me through the mud. I’m convinced more than ever that the strength of a true friend is in showing up. Showing up. Period. As simple and as complicated as that is. There is unbelievable power in showing up for people. Defining what that looks like for those I love is a lifelong challenge I am committed to pursuing every day in my own life. To those that graciously did that for me these past couple years, I extend my humblest thank you. YOU are—without a doubt—THE best part of this chapter.
Thank you for being there for the lows. I can’t wait to share with you the highs.

In just a few short days, I’ll be flipping the page to a new chapter as I prepare to move to Chicago. Soon I’ll be starting a new job in one of my favorite cities. The fact that even my change-averse heart is racing with hope and positivity means a lot to me. It means good things are coming, and I can’t wait to share more of that with you.
