Hell of a week 😂

Started it in Newport at the International Tennis Hall of Fame playing the USTA National Open Grass Court Championships with my guy Juan Pablo. We battled our way to the finals and came home with a Silver Ball 🥈🎾

A few hours later, I traded the tennis whites for a suit and headed back to Connecticut, where I had the honor of being recognized as one of the Hartford Business Journal’s 2026 40 Under Forty.

National grass court finalist and 40 Under Forty in the same week. Not sure I’ll ever have another week quite like that one 😂

But the part I’ll remember most is who I got to share it with. My family and friends were there to celebrate with me and I got to compete for a national championship alongside a great friend.

One hell of a week 🙏🏾

This past weekend was full of festivities, but this right here…Y’ALL REALLY GOT ME!!! 😂😂😂😭😭😭

I’m still laughing and trying to figure out HOW IN THE WORLD I DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING!!! 👀😂

To my family and friends who pulled off this AMAZING surprise for my 50th birthday… I LOVE Y’ALL SO MUCH! ❤️🥹

Listen… the way y’all had me walking around clueless while everybody was in on the secret?! 😂 The lies! The sneaking around! The fake conversations! The “I don’t know what you’re talking about” faces! 😂😂😂 NICE JOB!!!

But seriously, my heart is FULL. ❤️ Turning 50 is a BIG deal, and to celebrate this milestone surrounded by so many people who love me, support me, laugh with me, and have been part of my journey means more than I can put into words.

My circle may be small, but BABY… THE LOVE IS BIG!!! 🥹❤️

I’ve experienced so many highs, lows, lessons, blessings, growth, heartbreaks, laughter, and unforgettable memories over these 50 years. And standing there seeing all of you who took the time to celebrate ME reminded me just how blessed I truly am.

And for the record….y’all understood the assignment!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂

I thought I was just turning 50… turns out I was stepping into a whole NEW CHAPTER with a reminder that I am deeply loved. ❤️

So THANK YOU. Thank you for the planning, the phone calls, the secrets, the sneaking, the excuses, the time, and every little detail that went into making this night unforgettable.

I will NEVER forget this.

50 is already looking REAL GOOD on me! 😌💅🏽😂

God, I thank You for allowing me to see 50 and for blessing me with family and friends who know how to LOVE LOUD and CELEBRATE HARD. 🙏🏽❤️

Here’s to 50 years of ME… and a whole lot more life, laughter, love, blessings, good health, good vibes, good food, and absolutely NO time for the nonsense! 😂😂😂

I LOVE Y’ALL FOR REAL!!! ❤️

THANK YOU for making my 50th one for the BOOKS!!! 🥂🎂🎉💃🏽
