Yesterday we celebrated a woman who doesn’t just light up a room — she warms it, lifts it, and makes everyone feel first class… like she’s got all day to linger with you.
We honored her unwavering faith in God, her depth in worship, her grit through hard seasons, and her lifelong devotion to my dad — even through uprooting her whole life at 45 and starting over in a new city with five very “special” children. That’s some blind trust in something greater… and in my Dad. 🙃
As an Enneagram 2, she is the ultimate befriender.
She makes connection her art form.
She befriends people in Publix, exercise class, Hobby Lobby, and even on my street (where I’m still avoiding the new neighbors who give me evil side eye when I speed past their house—she’s already won over…naturally 🙄).
Her heart is wired to include, uplift, and love — and the beautiful room full of powerful ladies yesterday was living proof of this.
She is iconic, elegant, radiant — but her true beauty comes from her heart.
The prayerful, joyful, steadfast heart that has held the center for our family through every season.
She is 75 years young, 75 years loved, but absolutely not 75 years old — and we will keep dancing with her for decades to come.
Mom — you have loved us and seen us so well. We are so grateful to give a fraction of that back. Happy birthday Mama!
We love you endlessly🥂✨💃🏻
