This week, I received a phone call from a woman who is opening a new business.
She said,
“Corie, I want to work with you. I don’t want to work with anyone else. I see how hard you work. I see all the amazing things you do, I have been following you for a long time and I only want to work with you.” (Thank you for your words and you support💕)
At first, I thanked her and carried on with my day.
I had just finished a meeting about launching my new venture: creating an all-inclusive resort experience in our backyard while continuing to build spaces for women to gather, connect, heal, and simply breathe.
But it wasn’t until today, while sitting quietly and writing down my thoughts, that her words truly landed.
My heart is so incredibly full.
Because as exhausted as I sometimes feel, I continue to show up.
I keep loving.
I keep forgiving.
I keep creating.
I keep building.
I keep picking myself up and moving forward.
And the truth is, that hasn’t always been easy.
There have been seasons where I have been misunderstood.
Seasons where my intentions were questioned.
Moments where my kindness was mistaken for weakness.
Moments where my heart was misjudged simply because I choose to lead with it.
But I have learned something powerful through all of it.
When your heart is rooted in love, fueled by faith, and guided by God, you don’t need to spend your life defending who you are.
You simply continue to be who you are.
You continue to show up.
You continue to love.
You continue to serve.
You continue to build.
Because the people who are meant for your journey will always recognize your heart.
What I’ve come to realize is that every footprint I’ve left along the way has become part of something much bigger than I ever imagined.
Those footprints have become a blueprint.
A blueprint for the life I’m creating.
A blueprint for the woman I choose to be every single day.
A blueprint built on faith, resilience, connection, and purpose.
There are so many incredible people I’ve met throughout this journey that I may never fully realize are quietly watching.
Watching.
Supporting.
Cheering me on.
And to those people…
Thank you.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for seeing me when I didn’t realize I was being seen.
Every step has led me here, into this beautiful unknown that requires so much faith.
And while I don’t always know exactly what tomorrow holds, I know this:
I will continue to lead with love.
I will continue to trust God.
I will continue to create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and connected.
And I will continue walking forward, knowing that I am exactly where I am meant to be. 🤍🌹
