For the past 10 years, Fireworks for the Future has been one small way I could give back to the community that has given so much to me. Through the use of my business I was able to raise tens of thousands of dollars for programs that support our local youth.

Last year alone, we were able to write a check for $2,700 to Post Prom.

What made this fundraiser possible was the ability to utilize the property at 95 E. Main Street as an asset to serve our community. With the restructuring of my businesses and no longer having access to use the property in the same way, it is time for me to hang up my hat and officially bring Fireworks for the Future to a close.

While this fundraiser may be ending, the need is not.

Our kids matter.

The young people growing up in the Lead-Deadwood area matter.

The programs that pour into them matter.

Organizations like the Boys & Girls Club, Post Prom, Young Life , and so many others are helping create opportunities, connections, mentorship, and safe spaces for our youth. These programs don’t just impact a moment in a child’s life—they help shape futures.

If you are looking for a place to give, serve, volunteer, or donate, I encourage you to consider supporting the organizations that are investing in our kids. Every dollar, every hour, and every act of generosity makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who supported Fireworks for the Future over the years. Thank you for believing, showing up, volunteering, donating, and helping me create something meaningful together.

The fundraiser may be ending, but my belief in this community and our kids never will.

If you’d like to learn more about ways to support local youth, reach out and connect with one of the many organizations serving our area.

Our children are not just our future—they are our responsibility today. ❤️

Sixteen years.

Honestly, it’s hard to even put into words what this moment feels like.

The papers have officially been handed over to the lawyers, and with that, this chapter of Lotus Up in Lead is coming to a close. Bittersweet doesn’t even begin to describe it.

What was built here was never just a coffee shop. It became a place of connection, community, laughter, growth, tears, healing, dreaming, and belonging. So many conversations happened inside these walls. So many lives crossed paths here. Including my own.

To the community of Lead — thank you.
Thank you for showing up year after year. Thank you for supporting my dreams, my business, my ideas, my wild community projects, and honestly… my growth as a human being. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

To every employee who ever worked beside me: you were incredible. Every single one of you. I always said I had the best staff, and I meant it. You brought heart into this building every day, and people felt it.

To every tenant who shared this building with me — thank you for helping carry something that was never small. This building was built for community, by community, and I’m deeply grateful for every partnership and lesson along the way.

As I’ve been packing, I found an entire tote full of thank-you cards. Notes from little kids, adults, travelers, locals… reminders of moments that mattered to people. And it hit me deeply.

Please continue telling people you appreciate them.
Please continue choosing kindness.
Words matter more than we realize.

At this point, I don’t fully know where my journey goes next — but I do know this: I’m excited for it.

I started school for psychology on October 1st. I’ll continue coaching, creating programs, and building spaces that help people feel seen and connected. But this next chapter is also about breathing. Taking care of my body. My spirit. Spending time with my daughters. Living life differently.

And next week, I head to Greece with my amazing partner. A man who came into my life unexpectedly and became such an incredible source of love and support through one of the hardest seasons of my life. I’m endlessly grateful for him.

This ending is also a blessing.
A release.
A new beginning.

Lotus Up may no longer be here in Lead… but the love created here will always remain.

Thank you for 16 beautiful years. ❤️

Who loves Lotus? I have some left that needs to go too much for me to drink on my own!

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster over here… 🎢

A lot of unknowns, a lot of conversations, and some moments that have asked me to slow down, sit in it, and trust the process. If I’m being honest—there’s been some grief and frustration mixed in too.

Right now, we’re in a “maybe” season.

✨ Maybe a June 1st reopening ✨

And while things are still unfolding, one thing I do know is this:

If we open—we’re going to need our people.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a place where:
☕ you get to make someone’s day
☕ you work alongside good humans
☕ and you’re part of something that feels bigger than just a job

We’ll be hiring for the summer season 💛

This space has always been about community, connection, and showing up for each other—and if the doors open again, that’s exactly what we’ll build.

If that feels like something you want to be part of (or you know someone who would), send me a message.

Holding this all with hope… and a lot of trust ✨
