Happy New Year, y’all! As we step into this fresh chapter, I want to reconnect here.
I know it’s been a very long break. Life happened, priorities shifted, and this space stayed quiet for a while. But the pause was needed, and now I am back… refreshed, inspired, and ready to write again.
So much has happened since I last wrote here, and I wanted to share a few personal updates. My son is now in his junior year of high school and keeping incredibly busy. He is learning to drive (yes… I am still on edge every time he is at the wheel), learning to play golf, and has started hitting the gym with his Dad. He still plays video games, of course, and continues to enjoy the piano, with the occasional game of table tennis mixed in.
On top of all that, he’s working hard to prepare for college applications and already has a strong sense of the path he wants to pursue. Watching him grow into such a compassionate, loving, selfless, and driven young man has been incredibly special and one of my greatest joys.
My daughter is in her first year of high school and continues to deepen her love for acting, dance, and singing. She’s ready to take on new challenges with confidence and is excited to pursue her dreams in the entertainment industry. She’s currently getting her work permits and preparing to work with a talent agency, with the guidance and support of her coaches, as she begins this next chapter. Her passion, creativity, and light truly fill every room she walks into.
As my kids grow older, they’re also asking for more privacy, which I completely understand and respect. This means I won’t be able to share them as freely or as often as I once did. We are entering a new chapter, and I honor their boundaries. When I do include them, especially in photos or videos, it’s always with their permission. I’m incredibly proud of the thoughtful, confident humans they’re becoming, and honoring their boundaries is one of the ways I get to keep showing up for them as their mom.
