Celebrating 2025: Impact, Growth & Gratitude

Dear Healing You,

As 2025 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect and share some important milestones. It has been an incredible year for She Moves Forward, full of meaningful impact, collaboration, and growth — yet, also a year of personal reflection and processing grief.

In the midst of all the accomplishments, I’ve also had to navigate the loss of my high school best friend, Lieutenant Colonel Cheryl Sparks, and my oldest daughter’s biological dad, Isaac Stowers, just months apart over the summer. These losses reminded me of the importance of resilience, self-care, and the very mission of She Moves Forward: helping individuals heal, grow, and move forward in life.

🎤 Final Speaking Engagement of 2025

Tonight, I completed my final speaking engagement of the year at Growing in the Word Ministries’ Annual Christmas Celebration. It was a wonderful way to close the year, and my heart is full from inspiring others and seeing lives transformed.

Looking Ahead

After tomorrow’s Hot Chocolate Event, in partnership with the City of Lawrence Annual Winterfest, I’ll be taking the rest of the month to rest, recalibrate, and prepare for graduation from Indiana Wesleyan University with my Bachelor of Science in Communications (whoop, whoop! 🎓🙌🏾).

This will also be a time to reflect and intentionally plan for 2026, both personally and professionally. You may notice fewer posts during this time, but all is well — I’m simply refilling my cup and getting ready for the year ahead.

Thank You
