Birthday Brunch At Paragary's Midtown

This past weekend was a blast! I love spending time with friends and like-minded people and thats exactly what I got to do! Friday night some close friends of mine threw me a nice small wine and cheese party at one of their houses.  It was so chill and lovely! Saturday am I woke up quite early, headed to TEAMRide for the ride of my life (the class was HARD)!  After the class I showered and headed over to meet Ashley to shoot a few pics at Paragary’s outside before everyone started to arrive for brunch!

In my opinion, brunch is a always a good idea! It is an even a better idea at Paragary’s Midtown! To all of my local friends, this is a must-check out spot! I love the indoor and outdoor ambiance! The tile detail is to die for and the patio is literally stunning! You forget you are in Sacramento when you are there! It feels like you’ve escaped.  I decided to have my birthday brunch at this location because of all of the above reasons! The girls in the pics above are AMAZING photographers/influencers within our community. It was an honor to have them present for birthday celebrations! We ate delicious food, caught up with old and new friends and enjoyed the atmosphere! A special thank you to Paragary’s Midtown for hosting us!!

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
