The years you keep calling wasted may be the very years that prepared you for everything that's still ahead. 🖤

Facts aren’t the only things we need to pay attention to when assessing whether it is safe to trust another person. Feelings are also crucial.

Safety is both fact and feeling. Therefore, trust is both fact and feeling.

We don’t just need to be told we’re safe; we need to believe it for ourselves.

I wanted to give everyone an update on what’s been going on behind the scenes.

While vacationing in Ireland, my husband and I were involved in a very serious head on collision. We are both injured, and I’m currently still stuck overseas in intensive care receiving medical treatment while we work toward being able to safely fly back to the States. I’ve undergone surgery on my wrist, developed a pneumothorax which required a chest tube that is thankfully coming out today. I’ve broken my back my right wrist in two places and some ribs so recovery is going to take time.

To be honest, I’ve gone back and forth emotionally trying to process all of this. But deep down, I cannot shake the feeling that the enemy is trying hard to take me out before The Vine Foundation even fully launches. And I refuse to let that happen.

If anything, this has only strengthened my resolve and reminded me exactly why this mission matters so much. Sometimes when you step into something bigger than yourself, opposition comes hard. But I know who ultimately holds the final say over my life, my purpose, and this foundation.

Unfortunately, this does mean we are going to have to postpone The Vine Foundation Visionary Luncheon until I’m physically stronger and back home recovering. I hate disappointing people, especially with how excited and supported we’ve felt by this community already, but I know pushing myself too quickly would not be wise right now.

The silver lining is that once I’m back in the States and down healing for a while, I’ll have a lot of time to be behind my computer getting things organized, finalized, and moving forward. This is not stopping the mission. It’s just changing the timeline a little.

Please continue praying for healing over both of us, especially my lungs so I can get cleared to fly home safely. And thank you, truly, for the love, prayers, messages, and support we’ve already received. It means more than you know.

The Vine Foundation is still coming. Maybe even stronger than before.

This week reminded me exactly why I started The Vine Foundation Inc.

We were able to show up for a mama who made the incredibly brave decision to leave an abusive relationship and start over from scratch. When I say from scratch, I mean everything.

Because of the generosity of this community, with over 10 people stepping in to give, we were able to make our first donation drop-off to her and her babies. We brought immediate essentials and items to help turn her new place into something that finally feels safe… and a little more like home.

I got to hug her neck and love on her babies today. And she asked me to make sure I told every single person who gave just how much this meant to her. Not just the items, but the reminder that she’s not alone anymore.

We’ll be doing another drop-off after the 11th, and there are still a few big needs we’d love to help meet:

• Stackable washer and dryer
• Kitchen items
• Basic household essentials

If you’ve been wanting to be part of something tangible, this is it. This is what it looks like when people come together and help someone rebuild in real time.

Message me if you’d like to donate or be part of the next drop-off 🤍
