Back in November, one of my childhood best friends reached out to ask if I would be interested in curating cocktails for a fundraising gala they were planning in May. Without hesitation, I said yes.
After months of planning, selecting cocktails, and watching the vision come together, I decided, “What the heck? I want to be there to see it all come to life.” So I flew home to my hometown and had the privilege of being part of such an incredible event.
It was one of those full-circle moments that makes you stop and appreciate how far you’ve come. Seeing old friends, being back where it all started, and hearing so many positive comments about the drinks made me incredibly proud of the little business I’ve built.
Thank you to the Sterling Community Fund for trusting me to be a small part of your vision and such a meaningful evening. And a special thank you to my friend Lyndsey for giving me this opportunity and for always believing in me.
My heart is full. ✨🍸❤️
