I’m grateful for the simple joys that brighten my days—a crisp, refreshing Cobb salad, a good cup of coffee savored in the morning sun, and the coolness of the shifting seasons. I’m thankful, too, for my husband’s company on Costco runs, where he takes on the weight of the cart, and for the steady guidance of my Pilates teachers, whose instruction continually inspires me to grow stronger and more mindful.
Lately, I’ve found joy in challenging myself with hand stitching, diving into a new hobby that blends patience, creativity, and history. I’m especially excited to explore culturally authentic designs, beginning with the intricate traditions of Eastern Europe and, in time, expanding my journey across the globe.
Life at home keeps me moving—whether through projects around the house and property or the discipline of Pilates itself. I find myself averaging 2.5 miles a day simply by staying engaged and active. And through it all, I’m deeply grateful for my ability and eagerness to keep learning, embracing each day as a chance to grow.
