Hi friends! My name is Ava. I’m almost 10 years old so for my tenth birthday present I asked my mommy if I could start a business. I love having cool cups and decorating them and that’s when my passion for cups started! So I’m now going to be making snow-globe cups that’ll be put for purchase soon. Catch me and mommy one day live on IG or TikTok making them 💖
Details soon to come!!

Thank you all for your support and love. Please remember to like share comment and repost💕

This was my first marathon. Months of early mornings, long runs when no one was watching, discipline on days I didn’t feel like showing up all with one goal in mind, chasing a sub-4. I trained my body and my mind for this moment, believing in what I was capable of becoming on that course.

The day before the race, everything changed. A bad fever hit, and suddenly the dream I had worked so hard for felt like it was slipping through my fingers before I even got to the start line. I showed up anyway. Not at my best. Not how I imagined. But I showed up.

I crossed the finish line exhausted, frustrated, and honestly disappointed in myself, not because I didn’t finish, but because I knew how much more I had prepared to give. That hurt. A lot.

But perspective matters. Not everyone gets to run 26.2 miles. Not everyone has a body that allows them to move for hours on end, to feel pain, resilience, and pride all in the same breath. I’m incredibly blessed to even have the opportunity to stand at a starting line, let alone finish a marathon.

This race didn’t go the way I planned, but it still taught me something powerful, grit isn’t always about hitting a time goal sometimes it’s about continuing forward when everything in you is screaming that this isn’t how it was supposed to go.

This wasn’t the ending I envisioned. But it’s part of the story. And I’m not done yet. 🏁 #ItsAllMental #HonoluluMarathon

Success loves company - especially the kind built on consistency, discipline, and showing up when it counts.
Cheering loud for my people today.
If you’re doing hard things… I see you. 🤍
