  • A Mother’s Day Message from the Heart

    Today, I want to send the warmest wishes to all the incredible mothers out there—Happy Mother’s Day! Being a mom isn’t always easy, but today is your day to be celebrated, appreciated, and loved. You deserve every bit of joy and recognition.

    I especially want to take a moment to honor two phenomenal women who shaped me—my mom and my grandma. Happy Heavenly Mother’s Day to both of you. I miss you deeply, every single day. Your love, strength, and wisdom continue to guide me, and it’s because of you that I walk through life empowered and resilient.

    To those who, like me, carry the bittersweet weight of missing their mothers today—my heart is with you. Know that they are still with us, watching over us, whispering love through the winds and raindrops.

    Usually, this time of year brings a wave of sadness for me. But today, I’m choosing joy. I’m choosing gratitude. I’m choosing to celebrate. Rain or shine, I’ll be grabbing my balloons and heading out to release them in their honor. It may be a rainy day, but it won’t dim the light in my heart—or stop me from grabbing a bite to eat and making memories in their name.

    To every woman who’s ever nurtured, comforted, guided, or loved like a mom—this is your day. Know that you are appreciated, deeply loved, and never alone.

    Happy Mother’s Day, queens. 💐

  • Cherish the moment

    As May comes to an end, it’s been a month full of rain and reflection. This month is always bittersweet for me because of Mother’s Day. I didn’t write much because I tend to feel quite sad around this time. My mom is no longer with us, and I miss her dearly.

    Despite the sadness, I had a wonderful day with my kids. They took me out to Six Feet Under in Atlanta, where we enjoyed a lovely meal on the rooftop. The weather was perfect, and we feasted on alligator, shrimp, and gumbo. It was a beautiful experience.

    I want to take a moment to remind everyone to treasure your mom while she’s here. You never know when you’ll hear her voice or see her smile for the last time. Cherish your parents. I’m grateful for the memories and the time we shared. Every year, we write messages on balloons and release them for my mother and grandmother. It’s our way of honoring them and keeping their memories alive.

    I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoyed time with their moms. If you’re in Atlanta, definitely check out Six Feet Under—they never disappoint. This summer, I plan to try new places and create many new memories. There’s so much I want to do and experience.

    Tell me, what’s on your bucket list? Do you have a favorite rooftop spot in Atlanta? I’d love to hear your recommendations!
