How amazing it is to be tired in the life I once begged the universe for.

Today we wrapped a full Christmas install for one of our top clients, UPMC. Up at 6 AM finishing flowers, balloons, table settings—just our small team making magic happen. We finished at 5 PM, and it looks stunning. Now we’re sitting here waiting for 11 PM to roll around so we can clean it all up… and honestly? We’re exhausted.

But I keep thinking about this line that keeps popping up on my Instagram.

How amazing it is to be tired in the life I once begged the universe for.

The exhaustion feels heavy, but the gratitude is even heavier. I asked for this life—flexibility, creativity, a business that grows every year, clients who trust us with their biggest moments. I asked for the “this looks amazing!” and the “I wish I could be you.” I asked for the impact, the beauty, the chaos.

And with it comes days like this—long, tiring, rewarding days where the work hurts a little but the purpose feels massive.

So as I head into 2026, I’m reminding myself to pause more. To reflect more. To be present in the moments I used to dream about. To stay grateful for the business I’ve built, the team beside me, and the life that’s unfolding because of it.

Tired… but incredibly thankful
