April 7th — A Full Circle Moment
April 7, 2013.
I didn’t know it then, but that day would quietly plant a seed that would grow with me through every version of myself.
I wrote my very first blog post as an expecting mom—full of anticipation, excitement, and let’s be honest… a little bit of “I’m almost ready to drop any day now” energy. Life felt like it was on the edge of something brand new. I didn’t have all the answers, but I had hope, dreams, and a story that was just beginning.
And now here we are.
Years later, when I look back at that version of me, I smile. She had no idea what was coming—how much life would stretch her, shape her, and sometimes completely reroute her plans. She didn’t know the strength she would have to tap into, the lessons she would learn, or the woman she would become.
Since that moment, so much has changed.
Motherhood alone has been a journey filled with highs that made my heart overflow and lows that tested me in ways I never imagined. There were moments of joy, exhaustion, growth, and reinvention. I’ve evolved not just as a mother, but as a woman learning to balance dreams, responsibilities, and self-discovery.
There were seasons where I showed up consistently—and seasons where life required me to step back, regroup, and simply survive. But through it all, one thing remained: the desire to express, to share, and to document my journey.
This blog has seen versions of me that were figuring it out, breaking down, leveling up, and starting over.
And honestly? That’s the beauty of it.
Today, April 7th, hits different. It’s not just an anniversary—it’s a reminder. A reminder that growth doesn’t always look pretty. That life will shift in ways you never planned. That you can lose momentum and still find your way back.
I am no longer that expecting mom, counting down the days.
I am a woman with stories, experiences, lessons, and a deeper understanding of who I am and what I want.
And the best part?
I’m still writing.
Still evolving.
Still becoming.
So here’s to April 7, 2013—the beginning of something I didn’t even realize would mean so much.
And here’s to today—where I honor every version of me that made it here.
If you’ve been rocking with me since the beginning, thank you.
If you’re new here, welcome to the journey.
PS: I LOVE YOU!
