an aquarius (uh·kweh·ree·uhs) is the eleventh astrological sign, represented by the water-bearer, symbolizing the pouring out of wisdom, truth, and higher consciousness to nourish the world, is a fixed air sign characterized by an independent, intellectual, and eccentric visionary, often characterized by her humanitarian, forward-thinking, and altruistic nature. Ruled by Uranus, she values freedom and innovation, often appearing detached or mysterious while striving to make a positive impact on the world.

every day I wake up, praying for the longevity to continue experiencing life. God has woken me up for 25 years as of today. Neil and Edleen’s first born daughter created in pure love and rooted in strength, the first granddaughter, the first niece, the eldest cousin: a trailblazer from birth. My ancestors, who sacrificed so much, have allow me to speak so candid and freely today and for that i am grateful.

this birthday has been heavier than the other years as I realized I’ve achieved a quarter of a century OF LIFE! very crazy milestone. as an Aquarius, my duty to humanity is ever-evolving, and I am so blessed that the Lord has created me in this image and gave me the capacity to love and empathize with others so freely. it’s the beauty and essence of me.

i pray to continue to have the capacity to love and cherish those i have loved on over the last 25 years (yeesh!)

happy birthday to me ⭐️ taken in Age of Aquarius by @_toughvisuals_

Okay… wow. 🤎✨ Long post incoming…

A Night in Spain was really just a sneak peek into one of many stories that don’t always get highlighted.

It was about stepping outside of your comfort zone. About being courageous enough to do the thing that scares you, because you have no idea what’s waiting for you on the other side.

It was a chance to gather, share stories, reflect, and celebrate our own Sol Search.

My heart is full. None of this was done alone, and I don’t take that for granted. I’m incredibly grateful to have people who believe in me, show up for me, and remind me that community is such a gift. 🤎

@estiloyvinowinebar thank you for welcoming me into such a beautiful space. Truly one of the Hudson Valley’s hidden gems.

@jazzy__gurl , thank you for sharing your gift with us.

@_brittany_edwards_ , thank you for being on board from day one and sharing your story. You truly are a light.

@heydjenane thank you for stepping in, taking a load off, hosting, and just being you.

And to @_taykay2_ behind the camera… wow. Thank you for capturing such a beautiful chapter.

It wasn’t just about Spain.

It was about saying yes to yourself.

And if this night taught me anything, it’s that we’re all searching for something.

The Sol Search continues. ☀️🥂🇪🇸 by @_toughvisuals_

The greatest love story isn’t just ours anymore. It’s the little life we’ve created together, growing safely beneath my heart and surrounded by our love. Soon we’ll meet the missing piece of our family. 💙✨ by @_toughvisuals_
