This past Saturday, my teammate, Dantoine “50 Cal” Ballard and I participated in The Gents Club Mixed Doubles Tournament. He came out the gate with a perfect 300 , and what I put up with him was enough to bring home 1st place! Additionally, the week prior, John Silerio and I were also able to place 6th in Ashley’s Crown the Queen doubles event!

Yeeeeeees! Grateful for great teammates, great energy, great competition, and for returning last year. YES! You read the tank correctly… Big Cooley!!!

Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a bowling fundraiser supporting Su***de Prevention Awareness, hosted by one of my favorite couples whose lives were forever impacted by the tragic loss of their son.

This cause sits very close to my heart. In October of 2024, when my daughter Emma was in the eighth grade, one of her friends tragically took her own life as a result of bullying. It was heartbreaking for everyone who knew and loved her, and especially difficult watching the impact it had on Emma.

One thing Emma carried with her afterward was something her friend told her shortly before she passed — thanking Emma for always being kind to her (I’ve always been intentional on instilling that) and for being a genuine friend. That reminder has stayed with me ever since. We never truly know what someone may be silently battling.

Mental health matters. Kindness matters. Checking on people matters.

If you are struggling, please know you are not alone. And if someone comes to mind while reading this, take a moment to reach out to them. Sometimes the smallest act of compassion can make the biggest difference.

Smile!!!!
For years, I’ve practiced gratitude, but reading “The Magic” has reshaped my understanding of mindfulness and intentionality, especially the power of words and thoughts.

I realized I was great at encouraging others not to speak negatively about themselves, while still being hard on myself internally. This journey has reminded me that what we think and speak carries real power.

Now, I’m being more intentional about protecting my peace, speaking life into myself, and choosing gratitude daily, no matter the situation. Do good and always sprinkle magic.

Great vibes, a beautiful venue, and an even better cause celebrating impact in our community. Thank you, Abdul, and Park Central Development, for including me in such a meaningful evening.

Fun fact: my “former life” was in urban planning and real estate development, a field I’m still deeply passionate about because of the lasting impact it has on people, neighborhoods, and the future of a city. There’s something powerful about intentional development, community investment, and creating spaces with purpose that generations can benefit from long after we’re gone.

If you own a business, your estate plan has to do more than list who gets what. It needs to protect the company you’ve built, keep operations running smoothly if something happens to you, and give your family clarity instead of chaos. This article describes how the right trust can support privacy, continuity, and long-term planning for business owners. If you would like to explore how a trust can support your succession goals or safeguard your business for the future, let’s get together and walk through your options.

My Emma Annette.
My heart.
My world.

Becoming a mother has been one of the greatest blessings, lessons, and responsibilities of my life.

Emma has taught me patience, strength, grace, resilience, and a level of love that words could never fully explain. Every season — the beautiful moments, the difficult ones, the lessons, the growth — has shaped me into not only a better mother, but a better woman.

She is one of the reasons I work so hard, why I care so deeply about helping families protect what matters most, and why legacy means so much to me.

Motherhood is not always easy, but it is one of the most rewarding journeys I have ever experienced. I cherish every conversation, every laugh, every lesson, every opportunity to grow alongside her.

At the end of the day, success means very little if the people you love most don’t feel loved, protected, supported, and seen.

Happy Friday!

Mindset Monday:

Most people don’t fail because they can’t…
They fail because they choose to stop at “I can’t.”

Your mindset drives your choices.
And your choices shape your results.

“I can’t” closes doors.
“I’ll learn” opens them.

This week, try:
“I don’t know how…yet. But I’ll learn.”

Watch what changes.

I’ve been bowling since I was 4.
In fact, it earned me a scholarship, along with academics.

Bowling has taught me a lot, especially how to quiet the internal noise and stay focused.

And honestly, it mirrors life more than people realize. Because just like bowling, you don’t step up without a plan.

Every shot has intention.
Every move has purpose.

But in real life?

Most people are navigating without that same approach.

No real plan for protection.
No plan if income stops.
No plan for the unexpected.

Just hope.

And hope… isn’t a strategy.

As life evolves, gaps appear—
financial blind spots most people don’t even realize are there.

If you’ve never really looked at your full picture,
I’m always here to help you think it through.

QOTD: Variable Universal Life (VUL) or 529?
The answer is based on goals and objectives, but ultimately it’s about giving a child a head start.

However, a head start isn’t just about college…it’s about options.

What if you could build something that:
-Grows over time
-Has market exposure
-Adapts to your child’s future
-Can be used for whatever path they choose whether it’s
•College
•A business
•A home
•Or something we can’t even see yet

The reality is, it’s not about predicting their future. It’s about preparing them for it.

I bring both protection and growth strategies to the table, so everything works together—not in silos.

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s a more flexible way to do that, I’m happy to walk you through it.

A business partnership without a plan can get messy fast. Just ask the famous couple who once bought a home and winery together… then split up, skipped the paperwork, and watched the whole thing spiral into a legal tug-of-war. One even ended up sharing his personal residence with a stranger tied to the sale. Not exactly the happily-ever-after they expected.
All of it could have been avoided with a simple buy-sell agreement to lay out what happens if an owner leaves – through death, divorce, disability, retirement, or simply wanting out – so the business keeps running smoothly and everyone knows their rights. Watch this video to learn more about how a buy-sell agreement works, and then let’s make sure your business interests are protected.

In this brief video, you will explore the crucial importance of buy-sell agreements for your business. These agreements are like insurance policies for your company, ensuring its stability and protecting the interests of co-owners. Don't wait until it's too late – watch now to secure your business...
