Dear Friends

Dear Friends,

Unbeknownst to you, reminiscing on moments we have shared has brought countless smiles to my face over the years. Many times, these memories came to me just at the right time – in moments of darkness, defeat, and despair. These echos of the past have often been met with a deep nostalgia for something which will never be again. As I’ve grown older, I realize that those sweet memories are figments of my life, a constellation that creates a unique fabric that is all my own. All of them should have been taken in and cherished to the fullest, as if it’s the last time they will ever happen – not from a place of fear – but from a place of gratitude and joy. So here I am, trying to be better at taking in every moment, and savoring it as if it’ll never happen again. Because that is the reality of life – nothing repeats in the same exact way.

If you’re reading this, you have probably seen me at my lowest – mascara stained tears rolling down my face, paired with a side of snot and a few large sobs. You have seen me celebrating things I never thought I could (or would) achieve. You have reassured me, validated me, supported me, hugged me, laughed with me and patiently (and kindly) listened to me process the same topic at least 37 million times. I am sincerely and deeply grateful for your role in my life, and as many of you hear me often say, I wholeheartedly believe that we met for a reason.

Thank you for your kindness and patience with me throughout the years. The support and love I felt has healed parts of me I didn’t even know needed healing.

You have encouraged me to start living my life with intention and gratitude, reminding me to enjoy the little fleeting moments, and focus on the things I genuinely want. Things like this.

I am eternally thankful to the universe for bringing us together!

XOXO,

Kathy ❤
