The year kicked off with snow, and Bobby started a new job at Wayfair. Meanwhile, I launched multiple websites, built brands, and continued my contract with a Cybersecurity client.
I began hosting a true crime night and expanded my literary horizons, thanks to for inviting me to her book club.
We welcomed friends from the Netherlands for a visit, which was such a treat.
In Knoxville, my mom hosted a vision board party, and we followed it up by getting our colors done with . That eye-opening experience naturally led to a shopping spree—because how could I not wear my colors now?
I attended a trade show in Nashville and finally met the remote team I’d been collaborating with for over a year.
We enjoyed another magical summer on Harsens Island, where Bobby and I had a memorable (and mildly chaotic) adventure chasing a bat out of the house.
A huge thank-you to my dear friend Dina from for convincing me to attend in Miami. It was incredible! I learned so much, took a deeper dive into new AI tools, and danced the night away to T-Pain. What a show!
Bobby and I celebrated our 9-year anniversary, hosted Thanksgiving, and threw a memorable holiday party for Nicole Victory Design before wrapping up the year with Christmas festivities.
Between these highlights, there were plenty of moments spent gardening, tackling house projects, nurturing new friendships, and navigating the inevitable frustrations and chaos of life.
At the start of the year, I set a financial goal for my business—and not only did I meet it, I exceeded it. I share this not to brag but as a reminder of how far I’ve come, a place I never imagined I’d reach. To my amazing clients who continue to trust me with their brand visuals and websites—thank you. You’ve made this journey so rewarding (cue misty eyes).
As for AI? I’m still figuring out how I feel about it, but I’ve started using it almost daily.
Thank you, 2024, for the growth, lessons, and memories. I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store—I’ve got big plans and even bigger goals.
