This space was born from a spark—an idea I couldn’t shake. A Glittering is a digital diary: reflections on many bright points of life.

I am a mother, a marketer, a creator, and a connector. Here, you’ll find reflections that range from the practical (think packing lists and organization hacks) to more meaningful (navigating career leaps, exploring spirituality, and celebrating serendipity).

This isn’t a typical blog. It’s a glittering—a collection of stories, tips, and experiences ready to be shared.

And here’s a fun fact: a flock of hummingbirds is called a glittering, a nod to my spiritual journey and inspiration for this phase of my life.

✨ I hope you enjoy exploring and feel inspired to share your own experiences and reflections with me.
