I consider myself beyond fortunate to walk through I consider myself beyond fortunate to walk through life alongside some absolute treasures of humans. Gems and diamonds. This is the only real wealth in life. It’s in these connections, and the moments and threads woven between them, that life becomes gold. Gems of friends that will climb any mountain alongside me, that cheer on my wild ideas, that despite long miles and tough years are always within reach, and that show up and fill my cup time and time again. So much gratitude for all of you. I’m so damn lucky. 💎
