Reflecting on a Decade of Life

Mar 10, 2025 0 comments
Happy March! Life has been a blur for the last month but I'm happy you are here and I'm happy to be back.

In the last two week's I've spoken at a conference, attended a conference, launched the new space at my office, gotten my baby boy his first pair of glasses and the week ends with the start of the last year of my thirties.


I turn 39 this week and I can't believe how fast a decade goes by. Over the last 10 years I became a mom, got divorced, bought a house, started a new job, built a phenomenal team, became a CFO, have been published in Forbes, been featured in a article and have been asked to moderate panels and speak at events.

Just writing this I'm marveling at the life I have lived! 

How far I have come. It has not been easy but man it has been worth it.

Since my divorce I've been on this journey of self-discovery. 

Like who am I? Who is Damaris?

I've learned I'm many things and that I hold many identities and that it has taken me many years to embrace all of the facets of her. I've had to fight fear, step out on faith, journal and pray and drink lots of coffee on the way. Get up when I didn't want to, show up when I'd rather hide but God has had your girl's back this entire time.


As is my custom this month in honor of my birthday and Women's History Month I will be sharing my favorite things. So are old favorites and others are new discoveries but all give you a glimpse into the essence of who I am.

As I move into the last year of thirty and look forward to my forties I hope to accomplish all that God had hoped to show me this decade.

As is tradition, I will be sharing my favorite things with you this month!

My favorite things start this Coupon Friday but we all know I love coffee, so check out my favorite woman owned brand below.


It is Women's History Month after all. 😊

Happy Shopping!
