I’ve been learning a lot about faith, trust and correctly aligned focus.
Over the last two years, I’ve learned some incredibly valuable lessons.
One of the biggest lessons has been this: not every good thing is my assignment.
I spent a lot of time pouring into people, helping, serving, encouraging and trying to build things that were never truly mine to carry. At the time, it felt noble. It felt kind. It felt like the right thing to do.
But I’ve come to understand that even good intentions can become misaligned when they pull you away from your own purpose.
I had to learn that focus is stewardship.
I had to learn that my calling requires my attention, my discipline and my obedience. I cannot keep setting my own assignment down to carry things God never asked me to carry.
I also learned the difference between trust and wisdom.
I believe in loving people. I believe in helping people. I believe in community. But I also believe God has been teaching me that love does not require blindness, generosity does not require self abandonment and faith does not mean ignoring what is being shown to you.
There have been disappointments. There has been heartbreak. There have been moments where I put too much faith in people and not enough trust in God’s provision. But even in that, God never failed me.
When I cried out, He met me.
When my heart was broken, He helped heal it.
When I felt lost, He reminded me where my focus belonged.
This Mother’s Day, one of the lessons I’ve been thinking about and trying to teach my children is the value of healthy detachment.
Not coldness. Not bitterness. Not shutting your heart off.
But the kind of detachment that says:
I can love people without needing them to be what they are not.
I can enjoy a season without trying to force it to last forever.
I can be grateful for what was good without staying attached to what was not.
I can release expectations and allow God to be the source of my peace.
There is a lot of freedom in that.
When we stop clinging to outcomes, people, places and approval, we make room for peace. We make room for clarity. We make room for obedience.
And I am grateful for the people who have truly supported me, my work and my business through thick and thin. Those people matter deeply to me. There have been beautiful friendships, meaningful connections and moments of real goodness along the way.
There has also been a lot of truth revealed.
And truth, even when painful, is a gift.
The Treasure Coast has shaped me. It has stretched me. It has taught me, blessed me and broken my heart in ways I did not expect.
After a lot of prayer, reflection and searching, I know it is time for me to move into what is next.
I will be leaving Florida at the end of the year.
Before I go, I have one more art book to finish, one more chapter to close and a few beautiful things still to create here.
So if you have valued my work, appreciated my heart, connected with my art or wanted to experience a session with me before this chapter closes, now is the time.
Book the beautiful experience.
Come be part of the final chapter before the next one begins.
After that, I’ll be moving toward recentering my business to be travel based, new creative work, travel adventures and a life that feels more aligned with who I am becoming.
I wish you all well.
And I’m walking forward with peace.
