One year ago today, I took a leap of faith and published my very first book, Wisdom Bites, on Kindle—a heartfelt collection of lessons and insights I’ve gathered over the years. To everyone who has read it, shared it, or left a kind review—thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💛✨

In case you missed it, Wisdom Bites has also been available in paperback since last year, making it even easier to hold these little nuggets of wisdom. I am grateful for this journey and for all of you who are part of it!
