I received an email last night, “one week until the GBEA” and honestly, how did that come around so quickly? It feels like yesterday I got the email about the nomination.
Though I unfortunately won’t be able to be there next week, I had to share the finalist attachment and use this moment to simply say thank you.
This year has been truly overwhelming, in the best possible way. I’ve been given opportunities that allowed me to produce some of my best work to date, work alongside people I once only dreamed of collaborating with, and find myself standing in rooms I never knew a person like me could belong in.
Thank you to anybody who’s talked me off the edge of a cliff, supported my business, loved me through my switch off and lock in phases, trusted me to produce work for you, and believed in me. I’m so grateful to you.
I want to be honest: this path is incredibly tough. The end of 2024 was a real struggle. There were moments I had to really hold onto trust and faith, believing that everything was unfolding exactly as it should. I just sat with it, let the tough moments come, let them go, stayed focused, and kept showing up.
This year, I’ve worked harder than ever, but truthfully, the biggest success isn’t in how much business I have. It’s in the quiet victory of learning how to stay grounded and find peace in the middle of all the chaos and not lose my marbles. That peace is what I’m most grateful for.
I don’t mind what happens next week, it’s all happening as it’s meant to. Wishing all the amazing finalists the absolute best of luck, you’re all amazing.
❤️🙏
