Long post alert, but I needed to get this out there!
Sometimes we need to pause and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. Even when we haven’t reached every goal or crossed every finish line, there is so much to be grateful for in the journey itself.
Today, I want to give a special shoutout to one of our founders, Misty Kirby. 💜
Not because of the jewelry business—although I am incredibly grateful for Paparazzi and the ways it has blessed our family—but because of the heart she has for people.
Through moments of doubt, frustration, tears, and laughter, Misty has always been someone who truly listens. She offers advice without judgment, believes in people in a way I’ve rarely seen, and has an incredible ability to find the good in every situation.
That doesn’t mean life is always sunshine and roses. What it means is that she has taught me to focus on the good, recognize my potential, and pursue things I never imagined possible.
One of Misty’s greatest gifts is her ability to be in everyone’s corner. She cheers people on, believes in them wholeheartedly, and isn’t afraid to tell them so. That belief has a ripple effect that reaches farther than she probably realizes.
So today, on this Thankful Thursday, I wanted to make sure she knows that she too is loved and cared about. Her actions speak far louder than words ever could, and the impact she has on the lives of others is immeasurable.
💜 Thank you, Misty, for being a light, an encourager, and a reminder that believing in people can change everything.
