Day 86

Sunday was a really good day. I’m soaking in my last week out of the country before heading back home and just trying to be fully present in it. I woke up to the news of the Super Bowl matchup, and while I can’t say I’m overly excited about the teams this year since my 49ers didn’t make it, I’m still looking forward to the week itself. The Super Bowl has always been about more than just the game for me.

Having a partnership with the NFL has been one of my favorite experiences, but what makes it even more special is the tradition behind it. Spending Super Bowl week with my stepdad has become something I truly cherish. Going to the game together, regardless of who’s playing, has turned into a tradition that means a lot to me. It used to be something my dad and I did every year, and when he was taken from this earth, my stepdad stepped in without hesitation and continued it. We’ve always been close since he came into my life when I was four, but this tradition has brought us even closer in a really meaningful way.

These last 25 days have been such a blessing. Not only emotionally and spiritually, but professionally as well. My businesses are truly booming, and one of the biggest investments of my life just finalized. It’s been a season of growth in every sense of the word. When you change your mindset, do the inner work, and finally let go of what was never meant to stay, things begin to shift. Blessings start showing up in ways you can’t plan or force.

Staying deeply rooted in God has changed everything for me. I’ve lost people along the way, my circle has shifted, and honestly, I’m thankful for it. What I have now is a group of people who truly want to live with God at the center of their lives. Even in moments when I’ve questioned His presence, He’s been there the entire time, guiding me, protecting me, and preparing me for what’s ahead.

Grateful for where I am, for where I’ve been, and for everything still to come.

Signed, Paulina.
