An early gift I didn’t expect.

Hello beautiful people,

This feels a bit like an early present from Santa, so I wanted to share it here with you all.

A couple of months ago, I shared that my website had been shortlisted for an industry award. Not long after, I was incredibly grateful to learn that it actually won something I never imagined when I first started building it, simply out of passion and curiosity.

And now, here’s the unexpected part: I’ve just received a new nomination. I have been nominated for "Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards" by Luxlife Magazine.

I’m sharing this as encouragement, because this journey didn’t start with a plan to win anything, it started with learning, experimenting, making mistakes, and showing up even when growth felt slow. As I said before, everything I know I learned here, thanks to all the training on this amazing platform called WA.

If you’re building something online right now and wondering if the effort is worth it, let this be a gentle reminder that consistency compounds in ways we don’t always see right away.

Grateful for this community, for the lessons along the way, and for being surrounded by people who understand what it really takes to build something meaningful 💛

Super joyful,

Maria
