Living to Find Joy

Living to Find Joy 🌻 Living to Find Joy is my journey through grief, grace, and faith. You are not alone. 💛

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means breathing, laughing, and finding purpose through the pain.

People often tell me how strong I am, but the truth is there have been so many moments when I didn’t feel strong at all.

After losing Jaz’Mine, after losing my mom, my grandmother, my sister, and the many others I love, fear became something I carried every day. Fear of another phone call. Fear of another goodbye. Fear of loving deeply and losing again.

The reality is that grief changes you. It teaches you that life can change in a moment, and sometimes that knowledge follows you everywhere.

But I’ve learned that courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is continuing to love, continuing to hope, continuing to show up, and continuing to live even when fear is sitting beside you.

Some days I am strong. Some days I am scared. Most days, I am both.

And maybe that’s what healing really looks like.

❤️ One of the things I am most passionate about is supporting others as they navigate grief and learning how to carry loss while still finding moments of joy.

That is why I am honored to support and serve alongside Grief Can’t Hold Me and The Teddy Bear Project as we prepare for their 1st Annual Gala on September 26, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Through my own journey of losing Jaz’Mine, my mother, my grandmother, my sister, and others I love deeply, I know firsthand how important it is to have a community that understands grief. This Gala is more than an event—it is an opportunity to honor our loved ones, share their stories, and remind one another that we do not have to walk this journey alone.

If you believe in creating spaces for healing, remembrance, and hope, I encourage you to learn more, purchase a ticket, or consider becoming a sponsor.

Together, we can honor the lives that changed ours forever while continuing to find joy in the midst of our healing. ✨🦋

We’re in the FINAL 3 days of Legacy Month 💛💜

This is our last push to sponsor bears and show up for grieving children and families who need to be reminded… they are not alone. 🧸

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us provide comfort, love, and healing through GCHM and The Teddy Bear Project. What may seem small to you can mean everything to a child navigating loss.

If it’s been on your heart to give, this is your moment. Let’s finish strong—together.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Day’Zshia Marie McKinley — November 27, 1990 – April 21, 2018.

Her story is the heartbeat of this mission.
Her love is the reason we show up for grieving families with compassion, dignity, and hope.

Every bear delivered, every family supported, every moment of healing we witness is touched by her light.
Her legacy continues to guide us, strengthen us, and remind us why this work matters.

We remember. We honor. We carry her forward.
