What I’ve Been Up To Lately

September has been a month of new beginnings, fresh energy, and meaningful connections—both in my personal life and through the organizations and causes I love. Here’s a little peek into what I’ve been up to lately:

Faith Formation Back in Session: This month we officially kicked off Faith Formation at St. Mary’s of the Lake, and I’m so grateful for our incredible volunteers who make this ministry possible. Between prepping classrooms, organizing student materials, and welcoming families, it’s been a joyful whirlwind. I’ve also been sharing updates with parents about our Confirmation program and Bible study offerings—helping teens and families dive deeper into their faith together.

Building Community with the Junior League: As Social Media Chair of the Junior League of Syracuse, I’ve been working closely with our members to gear up for our biggest fundraiser of the year—the 30th Anniversary Holiday Shoppes! We just unveiled our brand-new logo designed by Heather Wallace, and I couldn’t be more excited for November 7–9 at the NY State Fairgrounds. With returning favorites, a VIP Night, and even a Pilates class led by Emily Henderson, this year’s Shoppes will be one for the books.

A Little Bit of WWE Fun: Of course, I’ve also made room for my lighter passions (hello, WWE!). I couldn’t resist sharing excitement about the continuation of the Bloodline storyline and the potential Bayley heel turn—because let’s be honest, wrestling is just one more way I get to celebrate storytelling, grit, and drama.

Looking Ahead: As summer fades into fall, I’m energized for the busy months ahead—continuing to build connections, champion causes I care about, and pour into my family, faith, and community. Whether I’m planning a major fundraiser, guiding teens in their Confirmation journey, or simply cheering on a wrestling match, I’m grateful for the chance to live each day with purpose.
