Croatia will always hold a special part in my heart. Next stop NYC ๐บ๐ธ
Reflecting ๐งก I remember sitting here with Dan, watching the sunset over Croatia, just overwhelmed with gratitude for everything in my life. I often pinch myself, wondering how all of this is possible. A couple of months into starting my business, I read a book called โThe Secret,โ and itโs honestly changed my life. I genuinely believe that if you have faith in yourself and envision your life, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. As said by Buddha, โWhat you think, you become; what you feel, you attract; what you imagine, you create.โ Itโs this thought process that I believe has attracted these opportunities, turning my dreams into reality โจ I canโt thank Dan enough for everything. Heโs been my anchor, offering words of encouragement, love & support, putting in the hard manual work, and also handling the tech side of the business. And he never asks for anything in return. Weโre a strong team & Iโm so lucky I get to do life with you & the kids ๐งก Our wedding song brings the perfect feel to this reel, making it even more special ๐งก
