Hi, friends. 💛 I wanted to take a moment to explain why I've been so quiet over the past few months. Many of you know me as an author, coach, or business strategist. Some of you have been with me since Love Kiss Books. Others know me from my blogging days, or landed here thanks to the algorithms. What many of you may not know is that for the last fourteen years, everything in my life was built around one little girl. My daughter, Kenna. Kenna was born 16 weeks too soon and lived with complex medical needs throughout her life. Every business decision I made, every pivot, every late night, every new skill I learned was because I needed to create a life where I could stay home, care for her, and still provide for our family. She wasn't just part of my story. She was my why. She's the reason I became an author and an entrepreneur. She's the reason I learned marketing, built online businesses, published books, and eventually created communities like this one. She inspired every dream I chased because everything I did had the same goal: giving Kenna the best life possible. On June 2nd, Kenna unexpectedly passed away following a routine procedure. There really aren't words big enough for that kind of loss. Not only because I lost my daughter, but because she had quietly shaped almost every decision I'd made since the day she was born. For a while, I stepped away. I needed to say goodbye, and then begin asking myself a question I never imagined I'd have to answer: -> How do I build a life when the person I built it for is no longer here? I'm still figuring that out. Some days are productive. Some days grief wins. Most days are a mix of both.
