This is the second place J has been for daycare. The second group of caregivers that has extended our community unit. The second set of teachers to comfort her as I walked away. But this is the first time I cried.
Not because the first round wasn’t emotional, but I think a big part of me knew that I could get her at any time.
This time, I’m back at work and it feels more real.
I know J thrives with other kiddos and people.
I know this is building all the interpersonal and developmental skills it would be difficult for me to build at home.
But I also know it hurts.
So today I’ll sit in the pain of change alongside the joy of having a safe place for my baby to grow when I can’t be there for her.

Today I turned a year older, and I stepped into a new chapter I’ve been quietly building toward.
This past year has been full of change — the kind that reshapes you, clarifies your values, and nudges you toward the life you actually want to live. It’s been a rebuilding from the inside out.
Along the way, Marigold Mo Co began to take shape — a space for creativity, intention, and the kind of gentle curiosity that has been guiding me back to myself.
It feels right to open the doors today.
A birthday, a beginning, a promise to myself to keep choosing alignment, curiosity, and growth.
If you’d like to explore what I’ve been creating, my new home is here:

I’m live today, still growing every day, and grateful to have you here with me at the beginning. If you visit, let me know which facet resonates with you most this year.
