Tran is one of my dear friends. After nearly two decades of supporting each other through all that life has delivered, I am thrilled to share a bit about her journey with you all. Tran is intensely loyal to her family and friends, always does what is right, and places motherhood as her focus above anything else. She inspires me with her solid sense of self and her ability to conquer the things that scare her the most.

One of my favorite quotes would be one of the most recent quotes I have posted… “Fall in love with someone that is both your safe place and your biggest adventure!”

This quote hits me hard because the journey I went on to find this person was a long one. When you’ve been hurt before you lose a piece of yourself and you lose a bit of the hope that you will ever find someone who truly loves you as much as you love them. I never lost hope that someone will come into my life, but I did lose a bit of it. It took a lot of time to heal and rebuild myself to be a better version of me…
