Since I can remember, I have always had one wicked, wild crush on humanity. I believe the art of connection to be such a powerful situation, and I also believe it is the reason why we are here- we all crave to be apart of something much larger than ourselves, to take up room in a space where we all feel we can belong.

My purpose in life is all about creating that space, that thriving environment where emotions and experiences aren't shamed or hidden, they're openly celebrated and shared. It's in the vulnerable act of sharing ourselves with others that we bridge the gap between stranger and community. And community is everything, just like the community we have here.

I always say to never stop being too much. Never stop loving too much, caring too much, saying too much. Your words, your story, you sharing your journey with those around you has the possibility to mold and move mountains. It holds the power to change lives, unite hearts and crack open worlds. You never know where your words could lead you, who it could lead and connect you to, or who you could help heal by your vulnerability in sharing your life's path. Your story matters, you matter, and I hope you will always hold that close.

I am so grateful for each and every one of you for getting real + raw and sharing your experiences with me and letting me share mine. My heart has exponentially expanded because of you, and for that, I hold infinite gratitude.
