The Moments That Stay With You

This past weekend, I flew to Los Angeles to do something that still feels surreal—help my daughter find the dress. The one she’ll walk down the aisle in, the one she’ll say "I do" in, the one that will forever be frozen in time in our hearts and photographs.

We stayed at the Proper Hotel (which, by the way, lived up to its name), and somewhere between room service and wedding dress fever, I found myself sitting at a bar table when Channing Tatum—yes, Magic Mike himself—casually ordered a coffee just a few feet away.

But the real magic of the weekend wasn’t in the celebrity sighting or the swanky hotel. It was in the moment my daughter found the dress. It was perfect. We could already see her father lifting the blusher, her heart full, his eyes full of tears. It was the moment.

( the above picture is NOT "the dress" because we don't want to give anything away before the big day in January, 2026 but it is my daughter trying on "A dress")

And then—reality. The sales associate walked over, looking awkward. Turns out, the price was wrong. Not just a little wrong—triple what we had been told. We felt a bit played as she watched us both fall in love with the dress, shed tears and become giddy with excitement.

Talk about a mood killer.

My daughter was already sold on "that dress". How do you say no to something that feels so right?

Her father and I told her, "If it fits within the budget, go for it." But over lunch, reality set in. A dress like that for a beach wedding in Mexico? It didn’t sit right. I didn’t force the decision; I let the moment breathe.

And just like the waves will smooth out footprints in the sand, clarity settled in. She came to her senses on her own.

We ended the night with a birthday celebration for Hayley, surrounded by her friends, laughter, and stories that danced in the candlelight. And then, just like that, we were back on a plane the next morning, carrying with me a weekend I’ll never forget.

The Moments That Matter

Here’s the thing about life—it can either be a blur of to-do lists, responsibilities, and “I’ll get to it laters,” or it can be a collection of moments that stay with you long after they’re gone.

Think of it like this—are you living like an assembly line, moving from one task to the next, barely registering the details? Or are you creating keepsakes of time—those moments that etch themselves into your soul, the ones you’ll replay in your mind when you’re 80 and reminiscing about what really mattered?

Your heart craves these moments.

And yet, so often, we prioritize the chaos over the connection. The hustle over the heartbeat.

So, let me ask you: What could you let go of today to make room for more of the moments you’ll actually  remember?

Because in the end, it won’t be the emails, the deadlines, or the busyness that you’ll hold onto. It will be the unexpected tears over a wedding dress, the clinking of glasses in a room full of love, the quiet realization that this—this right here—is life happening.

Don’t miss it. 💛
