When asked if I would travel to Maine for her engagement session, the answer was immediately yes! And I’m so glad I did. It was a beautiful night. Bella was the best girl and it was so fun! I can’t wait for their wedding in September 🙌🏻

We are approaching a year since Chief left this earth. Last year before he went to heaven, I asked him to send me a sign when he gets where he’s going. I had to pick the sign because I wouldn’t believe it. So I picked a deer in an obscure place. When I was ready to lay him to rest, I covered him in a sheet, placed some flowers on him and went up to the house.
I was in the house looking out my bedroom window, where I could see his body laying and out walks a deer, less than 10 feet from his body. There were a couple of deer that day. I watched them hang around. And when I left the house, I had one jump in the road in front of me. Through tears, I thanked Chief for the signs.
For the past year, deer have shown up for me in random places, but a few at my house. Some even hang around, giving me time to take their photos. But lately I haven’t seen any. I figured they’re still hiding from hunting season.
Yesterday, I left to get the boys off the bus and Daisy called. “Mom there’s a deer laying in the field by Chiefs pasture.” So I guided her how to use my camera and she got the last two photos in this post. He was gone by the time I got back.
At dinner time I went to start dinner and realized the chicken I was going to make was bad. So pizza it is. While I was getting the pizza, Daisy called again. The deer is back. When I got home, she was outside taking photos of him. He stayed. I was able to park my car, switch my lens, and take multiple photos and videos of him.
It’s been a hard year without him. But I’m so thankful for the little signs he sends. Letting me know he’s ok and he’s still with me.
If you made it this far, do you ever get signs from your loved ones? Let me know in the comments.

Most days I feel like the lone duckling. Just trying to survive. Knowing that no one is coming to save me. Then I remember we’re all in the same boat. Most of us have the same end goal, to live our best life with what we’ve been given. So I put my big girl pants on, look around, and feel grateful for everyone and everything around me. And today, I’m grateful the sun is shining and my family is happy and healthy. What are you grateful for?

Consistency is my word for 2026. If I’m going expect consistency from others, whether it be in relationships, jobs, or outcomes, it starts with me. So this is a reminder, if you expect something from others, make sure you’re expecting it from yourself too.
