This isnโt baking related but I would like to start sharing more of my heart so we can connect more sincerely ๐ฅน๐
My life is so divinely guided & honestly thereโs no other way for me to describe it. Iโve just been going through stuff because Iโm clearing things out to make room for the new & cannot believe I discovered these papers.
I met on the internet when we were literally kids in high school who just loved music & going to shows. She lived in NY & I was here in NC. We had our respective chapters of our booking agency that she dreamed up & invited me to be a part of - it was a big deal for us ok lol. And in May, I get to witness Kate marry the love of her life ๐ฅฐ
I remember creating that zebra logo in my graphic design class while listening to PureVolume vividly & my mom was so stoked to help me in anyway she could. The greatest memory I have with my mom was putting this benefit show for together with her at Creationโs Skatepark & I had no idea she saved all of these drafts.
When I look back, what she was able to accomplish without the internet the way it is today is insane. She reached out to & got a signed poster to raffle off to raise moneyโฆeven got to send an amp signed by โฆ donated dozens of donuts to give out & even managed to get to be the water sponsor for the show. Local music stores donated capos, strings, & even lessons. She was a miracle in every way & she really just supported me in every single thing I ever dreamed of.
I donโt believe in coincidences - especially considering how a lot of the bands who played this show for free, some how, I ended up having a connection to one way or another, leading me to so many other life-changing, impactful connections.
Today I find myself teaching the coolest kids on the very same street, in the same stretch of warehouses only 20 years later. An opportunity that has opened my heart in a way I canโt explain. Iโm in awe & I wanted to share this with the world because the synchronicities of my life are too incredible to be merely by chance. hereโs to 2026 & the amazing things ahead! โจ
