It’s my first full day in Portugal, so naturally this week would’ve consisted mostly of prepping for a three-week vacation in another country, but it was quite the opposite. Summers in Portugal are a much easier trip to pack than fall or winter, choosing clothes is quite easy for me. The week instead consisted of…

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

I’m proud to come from generation after generation of agricultures, & to love & be passionate about it now🌿Food is very important to me, it’s what drove my education & career; but the reality is too many around the world, to estimate around 820 million, including children - nearly 149 million of them, don’t have the abundance you have or lack the proper nutrition.

The facts.....globally 1 in 3 children under the age of 5, are either too short, too thin or too heavy...that’s way too many!

As the holiday season approaches, and then a fresh new year, think about simple ways we all can help to improve this, like....
• Donate. It may not be much, but you are essentially funding the cause, whether it’s your local food bank with a monetary donation or a few bags of extra products you picked on your recent grocery run
• Support your local farmers, organizations that help fight/fix climate damages and help bring food to those in need
• Start your own garden. I know not everyone has the greenest thumb, but start with easy herbs, then see where it goes from there. You’d be reducing demand on commercial farming & if you get the hang of it & grow more than you need, take it as an opportunity to share with a neighbor who might appreciate or need

These are just a few ways you can help solve/end world hunger on #WorldFoodDay & everyday, it just matters that we all come together to help, even if it’s the smallest of acts🧡🌱💫✨

Everyone has a story & on this #DayOfTheGirl here’s a snippet of mine, since it’s very rare I show my face around here.... This is the look of @cathhiaa sneakily taking a photo of me, as she often does, in my head rolling my eyes thinking “really, why” but this has since become a favorite photo of me. The face that says it all & yet so little. The look of a girl w. endless dreams & ideas for herself & the world.

What would I tell younger Diana & every little girl? Regardless of anything KEEP YOUR HEAD UP - YOU GOT THIS!

You were once too timid to express yourself but now you have the confidence to be yourself, yet you are very much that shy little girl. And that’s ok!

You will be misunderstood & never feel like you quite fit in. Others will doubt you, say you live in “la la land” & underestimate what you can accomplish. It will only fuel your fire & make you better! What they don’t know is that your “dreamer” mind is filled w. so many ideas & goals you’ve been passionately working hard towards accomplishing. And that’s more than OK!

You’ll learn the slower pace of life, is much more your speed. Like Mother Nature’s cycle, you crave those quiet moments to look up at the clouds, just as you once did many moons ago.

Embrace it all! The good, the bad, the embarrassing, the silly, the sad. It might take you longer to achieve what you want, but never stop working to achieve something for yourself & others.

And that’s okay! Because You are You & there’s is no one else that can bring your lightness to the world. So keep shining✨💫 ....no, this has nothing to do with my work/career, well we’re all so much more than that. Then again, I also don’t fit your typical event planner box & guess what - it’s alright alright alright😉
