Rejection is tough, especially as an artist. This week, I had three rejections, and honestly, it stung. It’s easy to feel discouraged when you put your heart and soul into something, and it doesn’t land the way you hoped. But I'm reminding myself: every "no" is just a step toward the right "yes."

It’s a hard journey, but the key is to keep going. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep pushing through the tough days. Every setback is just part of the process. Keep going, no matter how hard it gets!

Last night, at Visit Greene’s annual banquet, I received 2024 Hospitality Volunteer of the Year, and ‘50s Fest received 2024 Event of the Year.

I am truly honored to have won these awards. It was an incredible surprise, and I couldn’t be happier to see our hard work recognized in such a meaningful way.
