My 2024 Word of the Year was Empowered, and I’m proud to say I truly embraced it. Looking back, this year was filled with incredible milestones, meaningful connections, and so much gratitude.

💖 Highlights of 2024:

• Kicking off the year witnessing the birth of my 4th grandchild, a moment I’ll forever cherish.
• Watching my son marry his beautiful wife in a stunning destination wedding in Cancun—so much love and joy! Seeing Christina wear my veil was such an honor.
• Quality time with family: From Mardi Gras skiing adventures with Addie’s first time on skis to July hikes with Reid in Crested Butte—family makes everything special.

• Moments of Empowerment:
  • Earned my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in April with the incredible Bayou Yoga community.
  • Taught my first yoga class in December—such a fulfilling experience!

🎉 Memorable Trips and Celebrations:

• March: Welcomed Sr. Mary Andrew to New Orleans for St. Joseph’s Altar, plus a quick MP Conference getaway to the Breakers.
• May: Magical Disney trip with Katy and Addie—what an adventure!
• June: Cancun wedding—pure magic.
• October: First UL game in Hattiesburg, Steven’s 60th birthday hibachi party, and family photos with a full nest!
• December: Turned 59, celebrated 36 years of marriage, spent time on UL’s campus, finished with 45 credits, and applied for graduation!

👩‍👧‍👦 Above All: The greatest blessing of all was spending quality time with family and friends, cherishing every moment, and watching my grandchildren grow.

This year has truly empowered me—through the milestones, adventures, and everyday joys. My heart is so full of gratitude, and I’m excited to see what 2025 will bring.

Here’s to soaring into the next chapter! 🕊✨
