As I watched all the 2024 reels shared on social media full of memories, moments, and victories, I considered creating one too… but I didn’t. It just didn’t feel right or authentic for me.

2024 was a rollercoaster year… the highs were super high, and the lows well they were low…. I felt the human fragility intensely in myself and others, and at time it felt like too much.

I woke up to the news of the act of terror on Bourbon Street, which is so absolutely horrific. There are no words which can give comfort to those who lost family members. My deepest condolences to you all.đź’”Sending love and healing to the injured in hospital. Our City is more like village where everyone knows everyone, and this is devastating to us all.

I think of the suffering in Gaza and Ukraine. I think of the homeless people in our tiny city being shuttled off like cattle, while it busily prepares for the superbowl…

So, whilst we celebrate our victories, and try to recover from our losses, let’s give ourselves permission to be vulnerable, to abandon ourselves to our feelings, to ask for help, and to help others. Our purpose here on earth is to love, to feel, and to heal. I pray that 2025 is gentle and kind to us all. With all my love, Ranna ###

Happy New Year beautiful souls. May 2025 be a gentler, kinder year filled with love, joy, and fulfilment for us all. xx

I was gifted this orchid for my birthday in March. She bloomed happily for 2 months. Then in May she lost her flowers. I placed her by a window, and watered her weekly. Sometimes I would whisper a word of encouragement, and remind her how lovely she was. She stayed bare until October, when she began to grow a tiny little node…

Yesterday, on Winter Solstice she opened up, and this morning I woke up to the most beautiful flower blooming.

The symbolism for me is deep, and so profound; to never give up, to speak kindly to myself, to fill my cup, to nurture myself and others, to “Thrive and Enrich”- my intention and words for 2025. Here’s to a blooming beautiful 2025. Change is coming… Karmic blessings & lessons. ❤️❤️❤️

Friends…Remember to be gentle & kind with yourself first, so you can be gentle and kind to others.

Congratulations Gustavo & Valeria!!

Did you know that offers a “sign & go” service for couples who don’t want a ceremony, but still want to get legally married. It’s a wonderful alternative to going to a courthouse, or meeting an officiant or notary in your home! We can also provide witnesses!

Kira & Cameron eloped with playing in the background with their lovely family in attendance. We laughed, we danced, and had the most glorious time! I can’t thank them enough for entrusting me with their day. They took a leap of faith and booked me, & the Chapel when it was still work in progress, site unseen! 🥹🖤🤗

Six years ago, in December 2018, I took a huge leap of faith…I decided to take a sabbatical with my then 10 year old little boy. I was desperate for a change, and that change started in my favorite place on earth-New Orleans.

I was planning on taking a 3 month tour of the Deep South, first stop New Orleans, then Savannah, and Charleston. I wanted to share my favourite places with my son. We had travelled all over the world together, but he had only been a year old when he last visited the Deep South!

The Universe had other plans, and shortly after arriving I met my love Greg! What an incredible whirlwind our life has been since our first afternoon date at the Vintage, on Magazine street!

Between a difficult and delayed immigration process, to the pandemic, the first few years were not easy! Starting over was tough. I wasn’t allowed to work, or drive, and at times I was very lonely. But, this magical city, its majestic trees, and its beautiful people were so kind to me, and my Gabriel.

I feel so grateful to live in my soul home, and to have met my love Greg. I have a beautiful circle of friends, I’m part of an incredible krewe, and I truly feel part of a wonderful ever growing community of like minded souls.

This year I took another leap of faith and listened to my spirit guides & Ancestors to open “The Chapel”. It has been a labour of love, and something I am truly proud of!

I feel more at home here than I have ever felt anywhere else. Thank you New Orleans, to my lovely couples, my kind wedding vendor community, whom I consider friends, and my sisters. And to my Greg; your love, care, and support, on even the hardest of days, are everything! I love you. I’m so excited about what 2025 will bring, and so thankful for the joy that 2024 brought into my life.❤️
