It’s a new year and I feel ready to get back to work, with a full heart and a clear mind.
I took a few months off intentionally. To live. To enjoy my life. To soak in the moments that make everything else feel possible again. That time mattered more than I can explain.
Wishful Thinking is coming up on nine years, which still feels a little surreal. I’m so proud of what I’ve built, the growth along the way, and the fact that I’m still here, still creating, still dreaming.
I have so many ideas I’m excited about. Ones that feel fun and expansive and true to where I am now.
I’m ready to take Wishful Thinking even further.
2026 already feels special, and I can’t wait to see what unfolds.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for sticking with me. It means more than you know.
Here’s to what’s next.
Keep watching for updates.
