🏈🎃 Trunk or Treat was a touchdown!

We had so much fun at our football-themed “trunk,” handing out candy and seeing everyone’s creative costumes! It was wonderful to see so many families come together for such a successful event.

And this cheerleader had one more reason to celebrate: I won the dance contest! 💃🏆

🍽️ One Table. One Community. One Beautiful Evening in Historic Richmond! ❤️

Last night, the streets of Historic Downtown Richmond were transformed into something truly special for the One Table event!

Seeing one long table stretching through the heart of our downtown was such a beautiful reminder of what makes Richmond so special. It’s not just our historic buildings or charming streets. It’s the people who call this community home.

Events like One Table bring us together to share a meal, enjoy conversations, make new friendships, and celebrate the connections that make our city feel like family.

I love seeing our downtown come alive with events that celebrate community, togetherness, and the spirit of Richmond.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this wonderful evening possible. Your hard work and dedication to bringing people together do not go unnoticed.

There truly is something special about gathering around one table, especially when that table brings an entire community together. ❤️

Proud to serve this wonderful city!

Last night, I was honored to speak at OakBend’s 14th Annual Patchwork of Life at Safari Texas Ranch. This event is especially meaningful to me because my family has experienced OakBend’s care firsthand.

My husband spent more than 100 days in the hospital. It was a long and difficult time for our family, and we will always be grateful for the care he received. The doctors, nurses, and entire OakBend team treated him with skill, compassion, and kindness. Their support helped carry us through days we will never forget.

I’m deeply thankful to OakBend for the care they gave my husband and for the difference they make in the lives of so many families across our community. It was a privilege to share our experience and to be part of an evening celebrating the people and mission behind OakBend’s work.

Thank you to everyone who invited me, attended, and supports OakBend. Their care means so much to our family.
