In my keynote speech at #brickslopes2026 I shared how LEGO helped pull me out of a dark time in my life and I wanted to start sharing more of that from time to time on here as well.

I discovered @lego during a time when I was struggling, I had really bad post partum anxiety, I was on medication for it and I was drowning in life, the kids, the exhaustion, the chaos. LEGO felt like a lifeline I could grab to keep my head above water, it was calming, therapeutic, joyful, rewarding. 

They say you can feel like you’re drowning and still want to be in the ocean. I wouldn’t change anything about my life even how overwhelming it can still feel at times, especially as my boys get older and more wild šŸ˜‚ but this hobby and especially this community have given me so much. I’m so grateful for all of you who are walking this path with me, I love geeking out with you online, I love getting to meet you in person each year and you help make me a better version of myself 🫶

Brickworld Chicago 2026 was an amazing week. Saw so many friends. Met people I can now call friends, Some now are brothers for life. So many great memories and future plans made. Thank you to every that liked my Mocs enough to leave me a token, thank you to everyone that took the time to say hi, to trade with me and have a chat . It has been such an incredible experience . To have someone stop you, say that they follow you and how happy they are to meet you in person is a feeling I can’t really explain, but I never want it to go away. Thank you Brickworld. (I could only tag 20, don’t take it personal, please tag yourselves and if you left me a token please let me know!)

Sappy caption incoming:

I started this account last year with my one and only goal of making Lego friends. I never had a ā€œfollowerā€ goal in mind, I just wanted to be part of what I knew was an incredible community. I’m shocked and grateful that 3000 of you want to follow this journey of mine and I can truly say I have made lifelong friends in here. 
So I want to take a moment and shout out the first handful of accounts I remember connecting with in the early days of my page and thank them for that early support and friendship. @captain_brixx @majistos.workshop @jen_builds_ and @cynthia_brickbuilds were the first to welcome me and hype my content. A big thank you as well to @mav_bricks and @accio.bricks for always helping me bounce ideas back and forth. 
Now I want to ask all of you to share those first accounts who helped welcome you to this community, those who supported you, hyped your posts or just geeked out over Lego in your DMs. Tag those people in the comments and let’s keep making the Lego community unmatched in kindness 🫶
