Closing out 2024 with one more L.O.V.E. Awards thank you. 💓 And this one is special. I've been blessed with some amazingly supportive friends who have seen my magic and my worth before I have. ✨️ Tiffany is one of them. Things I never thought of as more than something creative I did for the love of Tiffany would challenge me, "that's something people should pay you for." From sweets to my BTS photography on set, things I did for fun, I can now say I have been published in various online and print magazines for --- both with recipe development credit and photo credit. But with Tiffany, it's more than just talents. It's me. As much as we are both doers, she reminds me to BE as much, if not more, than I DO. She has continually poured into me to make sure I know how special I am, to not shrink for others, to stand up tall and own all of who I am. To walk into a room knowing I'm deserving of whatever might find me there. To recognize my wins, big and small. 🏆 My Pillar Award was a special reminder of those who have been pillars for me and those who remain pillars with me. Tiffany is one of those sacred friends who has been that for me pretty much as long as I've known her. And when I think about wins like this award, I think even more about those who saw *this* me in past versions of me, and who planted seeds in my garden to help me grow into who I am today. I found a safe space to grow and bloom, thanks to some very special friends. @talentedthomas --- I'm so grateful for your friendship, the woman you are to me & so many others, and the woman you inspire me to be. 🥰
