I tend to keep my eyes on the horizon—on the next project, the next chapter, the next version of myself waiting just beyond reach. It’s how I’m wired, always moving forward, always dreaming into what’s next.
But lately, I’ve been reminded to turn around for a moment and take in the road I’ve already traveled.
When I do, I see the seasons that stretched me in ways I never expected. The moments of doubt, of uncertainty, of holding on when things felt wobbly. I see the pivots, the heartbreaks, the leaps of faith. And I also see the quiet victories—the ways I softened when the world asked me to harden, the ways I found light when things felt heavy, the ways I kept showing up for myself, even when I wasn’t sure where the path would lead.
I don’t think any of us pause nearly enough to acknowledge it all. To honor our becoming. To thank all the previous versions of ourselves for her courage.
So today, I’m reminding myself—and maybe you, too—to take a deep celebratory breath. To recognize how far we’ve come. To celebrate the resilience, the becoming, the beautiful unfolding of our own story.
We are further along than we realize. And that is worth celebrating.

PS: I’ve put together a few treasures that honor you and your journey. Enjoy!
